HOW DO YOU CLONE AN OBJECT?

How do you clone an object?

var obj = {a: 1 ,b: 2}
var objclone = Object.assign({},obj);
Now the value of objclone is {a: 1 ,b: 2} but points to a different object than obj.
Note the potential pitfall, though: Object.clone() will just do a shallow copy, not a deep copy. This means that nested objects aren’t copied. They still refer to the same nested objects as the original:
let obj = {
a: 1,
b: 2,
c: {
age: 30
}
};

var objclone = Object.assign({},obj);
console.log(‘objclone: ‘, objclone);

console.log(‘After Change – obj: ‘, obj); // 45 – This also changes
console.log(‘After Change – objclone: ‘, objclone); // 45
