javascript-lodashHow do I use Lodash to clone a JavaScript object?

Using Lodash to clone a JavaScript object is a quick and easy way to create a copy of an existing object. The _.cloneDeep() method can be used to clone an object and all of its nested properties.

Example

const originalObject = {
  name: 'John',
  age: 30,
  address: {
    street: '123 Main Street',
    city: 'New York',
    state: 'NY'
  }
};

const clonedObject = _.cloneDeep(originalObject);

console.log(clonedObject);

Output example

{
  name: 'John',
  age: 30,
  address: {
    street: '123 Main Street',
    city: 'New York',
    state: 'NY'
  }
}

The code above uses the Lodash _.cloneDeep() method to create a clone of the original object. It takes the original object as an argument and returns a deep copy of the object. The cloned object will have the same properties and values as the original object.

Code explanation

1. const originalObject = {...}: This creates an object literal that will be used as the original object to be cloned.
2. const clonedObject = _.cloneDeep(originalObject): This uses the Lodash _.cloneDeep() method to clone the original object.
3. console.log(clonedObject): This logs the cloned object to the console.
