javascript - Is this a good way to clone an object in ES6?

Question

Googling for "javascript clone object" brings some really weird results, some of them are hopelessly outdated and some are just too complex, isn't it as easy as just:

let clone = {...original};

Is there anything wrong with this?

Answer 1

This is good for shallow cloning. The object spread is a standard part of ECMAScript 2018.

For deep cloning you'll need a different solution.

const clone = {...original} to shallow clone

const newobj = {...original, prop: newOne} to immutably add another prop to the original and store as a new object.
