merge

merge :: (Any, Any) -> Any

Available since v1.3.0.

description

Deeply merges two items (primitives, or object-like values). For primitives, merge will return the right-hand side (the last argument you pass to the function). For collections (Array, Set, Map, Object), merge will recursively merge each value as follows:

• arrays & sets: values will be deduped

• objects & maps: values associated to the same key will be merged recursively using merge

Equality between two values is checked using equals.

examples

merging two primitives

import { merge } from 'conductor'

merge('hello', 'world') // 'world'
merge(2, 'world') // 'world'
merge({ hello: 'hello'}, 'world') // 'world'

When the last argument is a primitive, it will always be the returned value.

merging two collections

import { merge } from 'conductor'

merge(['hello'], ['world']) // ['hello', 'world']
merge(['hello', 'world'], ['world']) // ['hello', 'world']
merge({ hello: 'world' }, { bonjour: 'monde' }) // { hello: 'world', bonjour: 'monde' }
merge({ hello: 'world' }, { hello: 'monde' }) // { hello: 'monde' }

When they are merged, collections are deduped by value for Arrays & Sets, and by key for Objects & Maps.

merging nested collections

import { merge } from 'conductor'

merge({ words: ['hello'] }, { words: ['world'] }) // { words: ['hello', 'world'] }
merge([{ hello: 'world' }], [{ hello: 'world' }]) // [{ hello: 'world' }]

Collections are merged recursively using merge.
