Script Preparation code:

const firstObject = {
    sampleData: 'Hello world',
    key1: 'value1',
    key2: 'value 2',
    key3: 'value 3',
    keyNum1: 123456
};
const secondObject = {
    moreData: 'foo bar',
    key1: 'value1.1',
    key4: 'value4'
};

Tests:

Using the spread operator
const finalObject = { ...firstObject, ...secondObject };
Using Object.assign
const finalObject = Object.assign({}, firstObject, secondObject);
Manual copy
const finalObject = { sampleData: firstObject.sampleData, key1 : firstObject.key1, key2 : firstObject.key2, key3 : firstObject.key3, keyNum1 : firstObject.keyNum1, moreData: secondObject.moreData , key1: secondObject.key1 , key4 : secondObject.key4 };
