.deepCloneObject #

Why do we need this function? #

This function is just a simple way to create a new clone of an object by abusing JSON.parse and JSON.stringify. It's fast, and simply and we don't have to iterate through an entire object to get a cloned object.

What does it do? #

It takes an existing object such as...

{
    name: 'stuyk',
    myMethod: () => {
        console.log('hello world');
    }
}

Allows us to remove the functions to make it client-side safe and then pass the data to a client. It also ensures that we de-reference any of the original data just in-case we modify it server.

{
    name: 'stuyk'
}

As you can see the method was removed.

How does it work? #

const myObject = {
    name: 'stuyk',
    myMethod: () => {
        console.log('hello world');
    }
}

const justTheNameNow = Athena.utility.deepCloneObject(myObject);
console.log(justTheNameNow); // See code block above this one for output.
