2013 NEWS 2013-03-22 - New Uize.merge Method
The new Uize.merge method, implemented in the Uize base module, lets you merge the contents of multiple source objects together into a fresh object.
SYNTAX
freshOBJ = Uize.merge (source1OBJ,source2OBJ,source3OBJ,...);
EXAMPLE
var result = Uize.merge (
{foo:{bar:{hello:'world'}}},
{foo:{bar:{boo:'yah'}}},
null,
{foo:{baz:'qux'},voo:'doo'}
);
RESULT
{
foo:{
bar:{
hello:'world',
boo:'yah'
},
baz:'qux'
},
voo:'doo'
}
1. Same Merging Behavior as the Uize.mergeInto Method
The Uize.merge method behaves in exactly the same manner as the Uize.mergeInto method, except that the first argument is not the target object for the merge but just another source.
Because the Uize.merge method always creates a fresh object, the target object is not specified and all the arguments for the method are source objects to merge together to form the fresh object returned by the method. The Uize.mergeInto method is documented thoroughly, and because both the Uize.merge and Uize.mergeInto methods perform the merge operation according to the same rules, you should refer to the reference for the Uize.mergeInto method for full details on how different situations are handled.
2. Unit Tested and Documented
The new Uize.merge method is comprehensively unit tested and documented.
