Usage

Fast-clone is a UMD module so you can use it in Node.js, or in Browser either using Browserfy/Webpack, or by using the global clone function if not using a module loader.

TypeScript

import clone = require('fast-clone');

JavaScript

const clone = require('fast-clone');
const a = {
    name: 'Natasha Rominov',
    age: 30,
    skills: [
        'Pistols',
        'Espionage'
    ],
    dateOfBirth: new Date('1986-05-21T00:00:00.000Z')
};
 
const b = clone(a);
 
b.skills.push('That grabby thing she does with her legs');
 
console.log(a.skills)
console.log(b.skills);

Output will be:

['Pistols', 'Espionage']
