var student = {name: "Rahul", age: "16", hobby: "football"};
//using ES6
var studentCopy1 = Object.assign({}, student);
//using spread syntax

//Fast cloning with data loss
var studentCopy3 = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(student));var sheep={"height":20,"name":"Melvin"};

//note: cloning like this will not work with some complex objects such as: Date(), undefined, Infinity
// For complex objects try: lodash's cloneDeep() method or angularJS angular.copy() methodconst person = {
firstName: 'John',
lastName: 'Doe'
};
// using spread ...
let p1 = {
...person
};
// using Object.assign() method
let p2 = Object.assign({}, person);
// using JSON
let p3 = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(person));The Object.assign() method copies all enumerable own properties from one or more source objects to a target object. It returns the target object.
const target = { a: 1, b: 2 };
const source = { b: 4, c: 5 };
const returnedTarget = Object.assign(target, source);
console.log(target);
// expected output: Object { a: 1, b: 4, c: 5 }
console.log(returnedTarget);
// expected output: Object { a: 1, b: 4, c: 5 }
