node-v8-clone

Build Status

It's a c++ addon for node.js that does the most accurate cloning for node.js. It's also very fast in some cases (benchmarks inside).

Installation:

Tested on node.js versions 0.8, 0.9, 0.10 and 0.11.13 (prior 0.11.x versions are not compatible).

You may be asked to install make and g++ as well.

npm install node-v8-clone

Usage:

var clone = require('node-v8-clone').clone;
var a = { x: { y: {} } };
 
// deep clone
var b = clone(a, true);
=== b // false
a.x === b.x // false
a.x.y === b.x.y // false
 
// shallow clone
var c = clone(a, false);
=== c // false
a.x === c.x // true
a.x.y === c.x.y // true

Extended syntax:

var Cloner = require('node-v8-clone').Cloner;
var a = [1, [2, 3, 4], 5];
 
// create a cloner instance for deep cloning optimized for arrays.
var c = new Cloner(true, { 'Array': Cloner.deep_array });
var b = c.clone(a);
=== b // false
a[1] === b[1] // false
