Merge( object1, object2, [resolver] )

Description

The Merge function combines two or more objects into one, by merging the keys and values from both objects into a new object. The optional resolver function can be used to resolve conflicts when keys match.

Parameters

Argument Type Definition and Requirements

object1

Object

The first object to merge with the second object.

object2

Object or Array of Objects.

The second object, or array of objects, to merge with the first object. If an array of objects is provided, each object in the array is merged with object1 in turn.

resolver

Lambda

Optional - A lambda function that can resolve conflicts when keys in object1 match those in object2.

The resolver function has the signature (key, value1, value2) ⇒ newValue, where key is the name of the key that exists in both object1 and object2, and a and b are the respective values for that key.

The default resolution behaves like (key, a, b) ⇒ b, which means that whenever a conflict occurs, the value from object2 is used.

Returns

An object that is the result of merging object1 with object2.

Examples
