Like, what if you wanted them to not point to the same thing?
2,253.218
2.662
JORDAN: Yeah, so the question is, what if we
2,255.88
1.95
wanted them to have the same value but be different references?
2,257.83
3.18
How might we do that?
2,261.01
1.26
There are two different ways.
2,262.27
2.14
One, the more annoying way, would just be to type the whole thing out again.
2,264.41
4.58
[TYPING]
2,268.99
2.916
So now we're guaranteed that o and o2 are
2,274.002
1.708
going to be different references to an object that is basically the same.
2,275.71
6.42
And another way would be --
2,282.13
1.6
there are multiple different ways to do this.
2,283.73
2.25
The most common way in pure JavaScript, would be to do this--
2,285.98
3.59
[TYPING]
2,289.57
3.486
Whereby, object assigned is basically saying, hey, pass in to me
2,297.54
4.315
a bunch of arguments.
2,301.855
0.875
And every single argument, I'm going to merge into the previous one,
2,302.73
3.33
those lose keys and values.
2,306.06
1.7
And so this is saying, give me a brand new object.
2,307.76
3.14
So I'm using the object literal here to mean a new object.
2,310.9
3.05
And then merge into it, of the keys and values of this object called o.
2,313.95
4.4
And so this is basically saying, give me new object,
2,318.35
3.08
and then set all of the keys and values of o to be in there.
2,321.43
3.92
So this is the way of cloning an object.
2,325.35
3.6
But say we actually did this
2,328.95
1.31
[TYPING]
2,330.26
3.486
So, what do we expect this to now print out?
2,369.17
1.9
So, we mentioned that line nine, we're taking the keys and values of o,
2,374.31
7.38
and merging those into a new object.
2,381.69
4.2
And then that line 11 we're taking o2, getting the dot object,
2,385.89
3.93
so accessing the value with the key called object.
2,389.82
2.94
And then setting that object's key called key to new value.
2,392.76
4.47
And then now console logging o to object dot key.
2,397.23
4.1
Yeah.
2,401.33
1.44
AUDIENCE: So, new value?
2,402.77
2.81
JORDAN: Yes, so this, so the guess is new value,
2,405.58
2
and that is absolutely correct.
2,407.58
2.79
So this, so-- line nine here is doing what's called a shallow copy.
2,410.37
4.62
Which is just grabbing the keys and values of some object,
2,414.99
3.09
and just setting those blindly into some other object.
2,418.08
3.33
As opposed to what would be called a deep copy.
2,421.41
3.24
Where that would take the keys and values.
2,424.65
2.822
And then if the values are objects, you'd
2,427.472
1.708
also take those objects keys and values.
2,429.18
1.666
Do that recursively, and basically get every single layer deep cloned.
2,430.846
5.234
But since object assigned just takes the keys and values dumbly,
2,436.08
4.23
if we have an object in there, update that object's key.
2,440.31
5.34
o.obj and o2.obj are still referencing that same object in memory,
2,445.65
4.38
so since we updated--
2,450.03
1.23
we mutated that object, it would update in both o2 and o.
2,451.26
5.13
Does that makes sense?
2,456.39
3.385
Great, any questions about this?
2,459.775
3.495
Yeah.
2,463.27
0.5
AUDIENCE: How would you do a deep copy?
2,463.77
1.74
JORDAN: So, how would you do deep copy?
2,465.51
2.16
That's a great question.
2,467.67
1
There are multiple different ways.
2,468.67
2.91
So most people would say use a library.
2,471.58
3.32
Meaning, rather than implementing this thing on your own,
2,474.9
2.85
just take somebody else's implementation.
2,477.75
3.63
But lets, let's actually do that.
2,481.38
1.56
That's a good question.
2,482.94
1.06
So, how would we do a deep copy?
2,484
2.116
[TYPING]
2,486.116
3.332
So, I know we haven't talked a ton about JavaScript yet,
2,490.88
3
but lets actually tried to do this together.
2,493.88
2.35
So, let's call a function, deep copy.
2,496.23
4.217
And we're going to pass into it some object.
2,500.447
1.833
And how would we implement this, if we're guaranteed
2,506.17
3.1
that no objects have values of objects?
2,509.27
4.5
Meaning we are guaranteed not to have objects within objects.
2,513.77
4.435
How might we do this?
2,518.205
0.875
AUDIENCE: Check for the type of the key.
2,519.08
2.42
JORDAN: Yes, so we can check for the type of every key.
2,521.5
2.291
But if we're guaranteed that no values are going to be objects,
2,523.791
2.939
we can just do a shallow copy right?
2,526.73
3.81
Yeah.
2,530.54
1.631
AUDIENCE: So check every value?
2,532.171
1.491
And if it's, the value is [INAUDIBLE] we have to recursively deep copy that.
2,533.662
5.478
JORDAN: Yeah.
2,539.14
0.58
So hold that thought.
2,539.72
0.874
Let's actually implement this as if we know that there
2,540.594
3.596
are no objects inside of objects.
2,544.19
2.14
So if that were true, we could just return the shallow copy right?
2,546.33
3.22
So object.assign
2,549.55
2.515
[TYPING]
2,552.065
3.123
So this would be a perfectly valid implementation,
2,557.527
2.083
if we knew that there's no such thing as objects within objects.
2,559.61
4.08
But since there are, we're going to have to do some magic here.
2,563.69
4.66
So, can you repeat your recommendation again?
2,568.35
4.116
AUDIENCE: So, check if the--
2,572.466
3.992
any of the values is an object.
2,576.458
3.992
Then you can't just take that value into a new object,
2,580.45
5.489
just to reference the same object, we need to deep copy that object,
2,585.939
7.984
instead of just taking [INAUDIBLE].
2,593.923
3.992
JORDAN: So basically, so check every single value,
2,612.96
3.537
and see if it's an object.
2,616.497
1.083
If it is an object, then go ahead and deep copy that object.
2,617.58
3.3
Otherwise, return that value.
2,620.88
3.206
Cool.
2,624.086
1.316
So let's do that.
2,625.402
