how to use the clonedeep function from lodash in javascript

To use the clonedeep function from lodash in JavaScript, you need to install lodash first using npm package manager as shown below:

index.tsx
npm install lodash

2 lines

Then, you can import and use the clonedeep function in your JavaScript code as follows:

index.tsx
// Importing the clonedeep function from lodash
const cloneDeep = require('lodash.clonedeep');

// Example object to be cloned
const originalObj = {
  name: 'John',
  age: 25,
  hobbies: ['reading', 'coding', 'playing']
};

// Cloning the original object using clonedeep function
const clonedObj = cloneDeep(originalObj);

// Modifying the cloned object
clonedObj.age = 30;
clonedObj.hobbies.push('swimming');

// Printing the original and cloned objects
console.log('Original Object:', originalObj);
console.log('Cloned Object:', clonedObj);

In the above code, we first import the clonedeep function from lodash using require and store it in a constant called cloneDeep. Then, we define an example object called originalObj that we want to clone. Next, we use the cloneDeep function to create a deep copy of the originalObj and store it in a constant called clonedObj.

Finally, we modify the clonedObj by changing the age property and adding a new hobby to the hobbies array. We then print out both the originalObj and clonedObj to see the difference.

Note that the clonedeep function creates a deep copy of the original object, meaning that any nested properties are also cloned recursively. This ensures that any modifications made to the cloned object do not affect the original object.
