Install

Install with npm:

Usage

js const clone = require('shallow-clone');

Supports

Arrays

By default, only the array itself is cloned (shallow), use clone-deep if you also need the elements in the array to be cloned.

```js const arr = [{ a: 0 }, { b: 1 }]; const foo = clone(arr); // foo => [{ 'a': 0 }, { 'b': 1 }]

// array is cloned assert(actual === expected); // false

// array elements are not assert.deepEqual(actual[0], expected[0]); // true ```

Objects

Only the object is shallow cloned, use clone-deep if you also need the values in the object to be cloned.

js console.log(clone({ a: 1, b: 2, c: 3 })); //=> {a: 1, b: 2, c: 3 }

RegExp

Clones regular expressions and flags, and preserves the .lastIndex.

js const regex = clone(/foo/g); //=> /foo/g // you can manually reset lastIndex if necessary regex.lastIndex = 0;

Primitives

Simply returns primitives unchanged.

js clone(0); //=> 0 clone('foo'); //=> 'foo'
