Alter and Assign Object Without Side Effects

Question

I currently have the following code:

var myArray = [];
var myElement = {
  id: 0,
  value: 0
}

myElement.id = 0;
myElement.value = 1;
myArray[0] = myElement

You either need to keep creating new objects, or clone the existing one. See What is the most efficient way to deep clone an object in JavaScript? for how to clone.
