safe-object-assign

Sensible wrapper for Object.assign().

Documentation

Object.assign() can return surprising results when a value to be modified is not an object.

The point of safe-object-assign is to allow users to pass anything,

1. without blowing up,
2. retain the initial value if it is not an object or array,
3. obtain a modified copy of the initial object or array to be updated,
4. mixing only objects or arrays into the new model.
