Install

Install package:

``bash


yarn

yarn add defu

npm

npm install defu

pnpm

pnpm install defu
`

Usage

`js
import { defu } from "defu";

const options = defu(object, ...defaults);
`

Leftmost arguments have more priority when assigning defaults.

$3

- object (Object): The destination object.
- source (Object): The source object.

`js
import { defu } from "defu";

console.log(defu({ a: { b: 2 } }, { a: { b: 1, c: 3 } }));
// => { a: { b: 2, c: 3 } }
`

$3

`js
const { defu } = require("defu");
`

Custom Merger

Sometimes default merging strategy is not desirable. Using createDefu we can create a custom instance with different merging strategy.

This function accepts obj (source object), key and value (current value) and should return true if applied custom merging.

Example: Sum numbers instead of overriding

`js
import { createDefu } from "defu";

const ext = createDefu((obj, key, value) => {
if (typeof obj[key] === "number" && typeof value === "number") {
obj[key] += value;
return true;
}
});

ext({ cost: 15 }, { cost: 10 }); // { cost: 25 }
`

Function Merger

Using defuFn, if user provided a function, it will be called with default value instead of merging.

It can be useful for default values manipulation.

Example: Filter some items from defaults (array) and add 20 to the count default value.

`js
import { defuFn } from "defu";

defuFn(
{
ignore: (val) => val.filter((item) => item !== "dist"),
count: (count) => count + 20,
},
{
ignore: ["node_modules", "dist"],
count: 10,
},
);
/*
{
ignore: ['node_modules'],
count: 30
}
*/
`

Note: if the default value is not defined, the function defined won't be called and kept as value.

Array Function Merger

defuArrayFn is similar to defuFn but only applies to array values defined in defaults.

Example: Filter some items from defaults (array) and add 20 to the count default value.

`js
import { defuArrayFn } from 'defu'

defuArrayFn({
ignore: (val) => val.filter(i => i !== 'dist'),
count: () => 20
}, {
ignore: [
'node_modules',
'dist'
],
count: 10
})
/*
{
ignore: ['node_modules'],
count: () => 20
}
*/
`

Note: the function is called only if the value defined in defaults is an aray.

$3

- object and defaults are not modified
- Nullish values (null and undefined) are skipped. Please use defaults-deep or omit-deep or lodash.defaultsdeep if you need to preserve or different behavior.
- Assignment of __proto__ and constructor keys will be skipped to prevent security issues with object pollution.
- Will concat array values (if default property is defined)

`js
console.log(defu({ array: ["b", "c"] }, { array: ["a"] }));
// => { array: ['b', 'c', 'a'] }
`

Type

We expose Defu as a type utility to return a merged type that follows the rules that defu follows.

`js
import type { Defu } from 'defu'

type Options = Defu<{ foo: 'bar' }, [{}, { bar: 'baz' }, { something: 42 }]>
// returns { foo: 'bar', bar: 'baz', 'something': 42 }
``
