Deep object merge utility.
tea-merge is available on npm.
$ npm install tea-merge
tea-merge is available as a component.
$ component install qualiancy/tea-merge
- @param {Array|Object} destination
- @param {Array|Object} sources ...
- @return {Object} destination merge
For each source, shallow merge its key/values to the destination. Sources are read in order, meaning the same key in a later source will overwrite the key's value set earlier.
Also, this tool only supports objects and arrays. Furthermore, the destination and all sources must be of the same type.
var merge = require('tea-merge');
// sample objects
var a = { hello: 'universe', arr: [ { a: 'a' } ] }
, b = { speak: 'loudly', arr: [ { b: 'b' }, { c: 'c' } };
merge(a, b);
a.should.deep.equal({
hello: 'universe'
, speak: 'loudly'
, arr: [
{ a: 'a', b: 'b' }
, { c: 'c' }
]
});When merging objects, it is expected that if the
key from the source already exists in the destination,
the existing value in the source supports the same type of
iteration as in the destination. If they cannot, a
Incompatible merge scenario. error will be thrown.
- Non-iterable values can be replaced with other non-iterable values: strings, numbers, etc.
- Iterable values cannot replace non-iterable values; objects can't replace string, arrays, can't replace numbers, etc.
- Non-iterable values cannot replace iterable values; numbers can't replace objects, strings can't replace arrays, etc.
