Deep copying objects in Angular

Question

AngularJS has angular.copy() to deep copy objects and arrays.

Does Angular also have something like that?

Answer 1

Another option is to implement your own function:

/**
 * Returns a deep copy of the object
 */
public static deepCopy(oldObj: any) {
    var newObj = oldObj;
    if (oldObj && typeof oldObj === "object") {
        if (oldObj instanceof Date) {
           return new Date(oldObj.getTime());
        }
        newObj = Object.prototype.toString.call(oldObj) === "[object Array]" ? [] : {};
        for (var i in oldObj) {
            newObj[i] = this.deepCopy(oldObj[i]);
        }
    }
    return newObj;
}
