`js
import { deepmerge } from "deepmerge-ts";const x = {
record: {
prop1: "value1",
prop2: "value2",
},
array: [1, 2, 3],
set: new Set([1, 2, 3]),
map: new Map([
["key1", "value1"],
["key2", "value2"],
]),
};
const y = {
record: {
prop1: "changed",
prop3: "value3",
},
array: [2, 3, 4],
set: new Set([2, 3, 4]),
map: new Map([
["key2", "changed"],
["key3", "value3"],
]),
};
const z = {
record: {
prop1: undefined,
prop3: undefined,
prop2: undefined,
prop4: undefined,
},
array: undefined,
set: undefined,
map: undefined,
};
const merged = deepmerge(x, y, z);
console.log(merged);
// Prettierfied output:
//
// Object {
// "record": Object {
// "prop1": "changed",

// "prop3": "value3",
// "prop4": undefined,
// },
// "array": Array [1, 2, 3, 2, 3, 4],
// "set": Set { 1, 2, 3, 4 },
// "map": Map {

You can use
deepmergeInto if you want to update a target object with the merge result instead of creating a new
object.This function is best used with objects that are all of the same type.
Note: If the target object's type differs from the input objects, we'll assert that the target's type has changed
(this is not done automatically with
deepmergeIntoCustom).$3
We provide a customizer function for each of our main deepmerge functions:
deepmergeCustom and deepmergeIntoCustom`.See deepmerge custom docs for more details.
We use smart merging instead of the classic merging strategy which some alternative libraries use. This vastly improves
performance, both in execution time and memory usage.
With classic merging, each input is merged with the next input until all inputs are merged.
This strategy has large performance issues when lots of items need to be merged.
With our smart merging, we look ahead to see what can be merged and only merge those things.
In addition to performance improvements, this strategy merges multiple inputs at once; allowing for benefits such as
taking averages of the inputs.
