I have an object of fake data that I want to make copies of, how can I do that?

Question

I have a fake data object user that is something like this:

const user = {
    _id: String,
    name: String,
    userUploads: Array,
};

How can I make a copy of user in userOne to have something like this

const userOne = {
    _id: 'dddddd',
    name: 'Chioma',
    userUploads: [
        {
            id: 0,
            // eslint-disable-next-line max-len

Answer 1

You can do something like this using the spread operator:

let userOne = {...user};

But note this will be a shallow copy.
