How to set all values of an object to null in JavaScript?

Question

I need to set all properties of some object to null. But the object can be very big, so I can\'t just do it one by one.

Lodash can manage this using cloneDeepWith.

My solution to the same problem:

import * as _ from 'lodash';
const bigObj = {"big": true, "deep": {"nested": {"levels": "many" } } };
const blankObj = _.cloneDeepWith(bigObj, (value) => {return _.isObject(value) ? undefined : null});
console.log(blankObj);
// outputs { big: null, deep: { nested: { levels: null } } }

Returning undefined in the customizer was not obvious to me, but this answer explains that doing so triggers recursion.
