How to merge two objects in JavaScript
New Course Coming Soon:
Get Really Good at Git
Find out how to merge 2 JavaScript objects and create a new object that combines the properties
ES6 in 2015 introduced the spread operator, which is the perfect way to merge two simple objects into one:
const object1 = {
name: 'Flavio'
}
const object2 = {
age: 35
}
const object3 = {...object1, ...object2 }
If both objects have a property with the same name, then the second object property overwrites the first.
The best solution in this case is to use Lodash and its merge()
method, which will perform a deeper merge, recursively merging object properties and arrays.
See the documentation for it on the Lodash docs.
Are you intimidated by Git? Can’t figure out merge vs
rebase? Are you afraid of screwing up something any time
you have to do something in Git? Do you rely on ChatGPT
or random people’s answer on StackOverflow to fix your
problems? Your coworkers are tired of explaining Git to
you all the time? Git is something we all need to use,
but few of us really master it. I created this course to
improve your Git (and GitHub) knowledge at a radical
level. A course that helps you feel less frustrated with
Git. Launching Summer 2024. Join the waiting list!
