Objects: Merging two objects into one

To merge two simple objects into one you can use the spread operator in this way:

const object1 = {
  name: 'Flavio'
}

const object2 = {
  age: 35
}

const object3 = {...object1, ...object2 }

Notice that if both objects have a property with the same name, then the second object property overwrites the first.

Also note that if properties of the object are not primitive types, only their reference is copied, not the object.

Are you intimidated by Git? Can’t figure out merge vs rebase? Are you afraid of screwing up something any time you have to do something in Git? Do you rely on ChatGPT or random people’s answer on StackOverflow to fix your problems? Your coworkers are tired of explaining Git to you all the time? Git is something we all need to use, but few of us really master it. I created this course to improve your Git (and GitHub) knowledge at a radical level. Launching May 21, 2024. Join the waiting list!
