Cloning an Object in Node.js

Question

What is the best way to clone an object in node.js

e.g. I want to avoid the situation where:

var obj1 = {x: 5, y:5};
var obj2 = obj1;
obj2.x = 6;
con         


        

Answer 1

This code is also work cause The Object.create() method creates a new object with the specified prototype object and properties.

var obj1 = {x:5, y:5};

var obj2 = Object.create(obj1);

obj2.x; //5
obj2.x = 6;
obj2.x; //6

obj1.x; //5
