Deep copy an array in Angular 2 + TypeScript

Question

I have an array of objects that is an input. Lets call it content.

When trying to deep copy it, it still has a reference to the previous array.

Answer 1

I found deep copy method in angular devkit, It's very normal, so... maybe you can just implement yourself or use that.

I prefer to use loadash, there a lot of objects and array operation methods that can use.

import { deepCopy } from '@angular-devkit/core/src/utils/object';

export class AppComponent {
  source = {
    ....
  }
  constructor() {
     const newObject = deepCopy(this.source);
  }
}
