I am glad you did not mention the JSON stringify/decode method. Thanks for raising a better generation of devs.

Keep in mind that this only make shallow copy not a deep copy, so if you have nested objects or arrays you will have references issues

Your videos are always so helpful, thank you man

I've been using the .slice() approach almost exclusively. Gotta use that spread operator more...

[AndrewTSq]

i think [...array] is the most elegant. Also works great in functions like function test(...args) and you can have dynamic arguments for your function.

drop these methods, this year the *structuredClone* proposal was approved and implemented, it does deep clone and is a native method.

Nice... Also one thing you might run into is. When you clone nested objects... The spread or slice will keep the reference l. So you will need to do a shallow clone or use a utility library CloneDeep

Thanks but, what font are you using? Is this font only exclusive to macbooks?

[lolobirolo]

what about cloning objects? I there any short about that? maybe you can explain the bad practice of using json stringify parse and use structuredClone

[reaper_]

you can test it by doing:
let arr1 = [1, 2, 3, 4]
let arr2 = arr1
let arr3 = [...arr1]
arr1[0] = 0
console.log(arr2) // [0, 2, 3, 4]
console.log(arr3) // [1, 2, 3, 4]

it's the same with objects

Very useful for mutable methods in your use cases =)
