How to clone a javascript ES6 class instance

Question

How do I clone a Javascript class instance using ES6.

I\'m not interested in solutions based on jquery or $extend.

I\'ve seen quite old discussions of object

I like almost all the answers. I had this problem and to resolve it I would do it manually by defining a clone() method and inside it, I would build the whole object from scratch. For me, this makes sense because the resulted object will be naturally of the same type as the cloned object.

Example with typescript:

export default class ClassName {
    private name: string;
    private anotherVariable: string;
   
    constructor(name: string, anotherVariable: string) {
        this.name = name;
        this.anotherVariable = anotherVariable;
    }

    public clone(): ClassName {
        return new ClassName(this.name, this.anotherVariable);
    }
}

I like this solution because it looks more 'Object Oriented'y
