Date: 2018apr6 Language: javaScript Keywords: assign, copy Q. javaScript: how can I assign the value of one object to another? A. This does NOT work:

two = one; // WRONG!

Because you don't copy the fields. But this works:

const assignObject = function(dest, src) { for (let k in src) { dest[k] = src[k]; } } assignObject(two, one);

There is a builtin

Object.assign(target, ... sources);

But it doesn't work on all browsers. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Object/assign
