Date: 2017nov17 Language: javaScript Library: jQuery Keywords: copy, duplicate Q. jQuery: how can I clone an object? A. Use jQuery's extend() like this:

function shallowClone(obj) { return $.extend({}, obj); }

function deepClone(obj) { return $.extend(true, {}, obj); }

function clone(obj) { // A reasonable default return deepClone(obj); }

Example use:

let newObj = clone(oldObj);
