# Deep Clone
|
|
|
|
**Task:** "Deep clone this object."
|
|
|
|
## Without Ponytail
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install lodash
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
import { cloneDeep } from "lodash";
|
|
|
|
const copy = cloneDeep(original);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or the classic hack:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
// fragile: loses Date, undefined, Map, Set, circular refs, functions
|
|
const copy = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(original));
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## With Ponytail
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
// ponytail: structuredClone does this
|
|
const copy = structuredClone(original);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**1 dependency (or a fragile hack) → 1 built-in.** `structuredClone` handles `Date`, `Map`, `Set`, `ArrayBuffer`, `RegExp`, circular references, and more — everything `JSON.parse/stringify` silently drops. Available in every browser since 2022 and Node.js since v17. Pull lodash in when you need the rest of it, not for one function.
