nano-copy

Superfast, super small (1,461 bytes minimized, 709 gzipped) JavaScript object deep copy. Comparable to fast-copy in speed across multiple test runs.

Usage

npm install nano-copy

const nanoCopy = require("nano-copy");

<script src="./browser/nano-copy.min.js" type="application/javascript"></script>

Clone Types Supported

Built-in Classes

[ArrayBuffer,BigInt,Blob,Boolean,Buffer,DataView,Date,Error,Int8Array,Int16Array,Int32Array,Map,Number,RegExp,Set,String,Uint8Array,Uint16Array,Uint32Array]

Blob, Buffer and DataView are platform dependent and are included or excluded accordingly.

Custom constructors assuming:

1. There is a static from method on the class constructor that creates a deep copy.

1. Object.create(Object.getPrototypeOf(source)) plus interating over all entries in the source and assigning their copies to the newly created object is correct.

Direct Copy, i.e. the same instance will be in the copy

Types returned by typeof plus,

[Boolean,Error,Number,Promise,String,Symbol,WeakMap,WeakSet]

Not Currently Supported

1. Non-enumerable properties

const copy = nanoCopy(source);

Or, to copy non-standard properties on Arrays and other built-in classes pass an optional argument. Note, there is a negative performance impact on long arrays.

const copy = nanoCopy(source,{nonStandard:true);

Benchmarks

Note, ALL JavaScript benchmarks in a browser or Node.js or Deno should be taken with a grain of salt when packages are within 10 ro 15% of each other due to browser, operating system, and garbage collection driven impacts.
