lodash/fp merge
var a = { a: 'a', b: 'b', c: { a: 'ca', b: 'cb' }}; var b = { a: 'aa', c: {b: 'cbb'}}; var c = fp.merge(b, a);
custom merge
var a = { a: 'a', b: 'b', c: { a: 'ca', b: 'cb' }}; var b = { a: 'aa', c: {b: 'cbb'}}; var c = customMerge(a, b)
spread
var a = { a: 'a', b: 'b', c: { a: 'ca', b: 'cb' }}; var b = { a: 'aa', c: {b: 'cbb'}}; var c = { ...a, ...b, c: { ...a.c, ...b.c, }, }
ramda merge
var a = { a: 'a', b: 'b', c: { a: 'ca', b: 'cb' }}; var b = { a: 'aa', c: {b: 'cbb'}}; var c = R.mergeDeepRight(a, b)
