## Arrays
|
|
|
|
By default, only the array itself is cloned (shallow), use [clone-deep](https://github.com/jonschlinkert/clone-deep) if you also need the elements in the array to be cloned.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const arr = [{ a: 0 }, { b: 1 }];
|
|
const foo = clone(arr);
|
|
// foo => [{ 'a': 0 }, { 'b': 1 }]
|
|
|
|
// array is cloned
|
|
assert(actual === expected); // false
|
|
|
|
// array elements are not
|
|
assert.deepEqual(actual[0], expected[0]); // true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Objects
|
|
|
|
Only the object is shallow cloned, use [clone-deep](https://github.com/jonschlinkert/clone-deep) if you also need the values in the object to be cloned.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
console.log(clone({ a: 1, b: 2, c: 3 }));
|
|
//=> {a: 1, b: 2, c: 3 }
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## RegExp
|
|
|
|
Clones regular expressions and flags, and preserves the `.lastIndex`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const regex = clone(/foo/g); //=> /foo/g
|
|
// you can manually reset lastIndex if necessary
|
|
regex.lastIndex = 0;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Primitives
|
|
|
|
Simply returns primitives unchanged.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
clone(0); //=> 0
|
|
clone('foo'); //=> 'foo'
|
|
```
