How to copy object without reference in Angular?

@jessyca_langosh In Angular, you can use the Object.assign() method to create a new object that is a copy of an existing object, without creating a reference to the original object.

Here's an example of how you can use Object.assign() to create a copy of an object in Angular:

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10

let original = {name: 'John', age: 30};

// Create a copy of the original object
let copy = Object.assign({}, original);

// Modify the copy object
copy.name = 'Jane';

// The original object is unchanged
console.log(original.name);  // Output: "John"

Alternatively, you can use the spread operator (...) to create a copy of an object. The spread operator creates a new object by expanding the properties of the original object into the new object.

Here's an example of how you can use the spread operator to create a copy of an object in Angular:

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10

let original = {name: 'John', age: 30};

// Create a copy of the original object
let copy = {...original};

// Modify the copy object
copy.name = 'Jane';

// The original object is unchanged
console.log(original.name);  // Output: "John"

Both Object.assign() and the spread operator create a new object with the properties of the original object, but they do not create a reference to the original object. Any changes made to the copy object will not affect the original object.

In Angular, you can copy an object without reference using the spread operator (...) or the Object.assign() method. Here are the steps to do it:

1. Using the spread operator: The spread operator allows you to create a new object with the same properties and values as the original object. Here's how you can use it:

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8

10

const originalObject = { name: 'John', age: 25 };

// Create a copy of the original object without reference
const copiedObject = { ...originalObject };

// Modify the copiedObject
copiedObject.age = 30;

console.log(originalObject); // { name: 'John', age: 25 }
console.log(copiedObject);   // { name: 'John', age: 30 }

1. Using the Object.assign() method: The Object.assign() method copies the values of all enumerable properties from one or more source objects to a target object. Here's an example:

 1

 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8

10

const originalObject = { name: 'John', age: 25 };

// Create a copy of the original object without reference
const copiedObject = Object.assign({}, originalObject);

// Modify the copiedObject
copiedObject.age = 30;

console.log(originalObject); // { name: 'John', age: 25 }
console.log(copiedObject);   // { name: 'John', age: 30 }

Both methods create a new object with the same properties and values as the original object. The copied object can be modified without affecting the original object.
