javascript - How to merge objects?

Question

For instance, from these two objects :

var object1 = {
  "color": "yellow",
  "size": null,
  "age": 7,
  "weight": null
}

var object2 = {
  "color": "blue",
  "size": 51,
  "age": null
}

I want this (object2 overrides object1 except for null properties or properties he doesn't have):

{
  "color": "blue",
  "size": 51,
  "age": 7,
  "weight": null
}

Answer 1

Copy

var src = { name: 'Apple', price: 5};
var dst= angular.copy(src);

• deep copy

Extend:

var mergedObject = angular.extend(dst, src1, src2, ...) 

• shallow copy

Merge:

var mergedObject = angular.merge(dst, src);

• since angular 1.4+
• deep (recursively) copy

If you want to not overwrite with null, you can use this.

Object.assign():

let movie2 = Object.assign({}, movie1, { episode: 8 });

• fot Angular 2+ (ECMAScript 6)
