merge objects easily

combijson

Note: This package is no longer maintained and deprecated. Please use JavaScript's spread operator instead.

yarn add combijson # or:
npm install --save combijson

This module helps you with easy and fast merging of several objects and/or JSON strings:

const combijson = require('combijson');

const obj1 = {hello: 'world'};
const obj2 = {hello: 'there', node: 'rocks'};

combijson([obj1, obj2]); // {hello: 'world', node: 'rocks'}

const obj3 = '{"hello": "there"}';
const obj4 = {hello: 'world'};

combijson([obj3, obj4]); // {hello: 'there'}

const obj5 = {};
const obj6 = {hello: {there: true}};
const obj7 = {hello: {there: false}};

combijson([obj5, obj6, obj7]); // {hello: {there: true}}

combijson accepts one array as an argument which can hold several objects. The index of each object represents its priority: combijson will go over each object starting with the one at index 0, all values of the following objects will only be added to the resulting object, so values from 'superior' objects won't be overwritten.

For example, if you want to create a configuration based on a template and user data, you could do:

const config = combijson([userdata, template]);

In this case, all user data would be added to the final object, and template keys would only be added if they don't yet exist in the userdata object already.

You can also pass an empty object/no argument at all without causing errors. The result would be an empty object.

combijson's Issues

Who to contact for security issues

Hello 👋

I run a security community that finds and fixes vulnerabilities in OSS. A researcher (@waelahmed-dev) has found a potential issue, which I would be eager to share with you.

Could you add a SECURITY.md file with an e-mail address for me to send further details to? GitHub recommends a security policy to ensure issues are responsibly disclosed, and it would help direct researchers in the future.

Looking forward to hearing from you 👍
