# clone
[![build status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/pvorb/node-clone.png)](http://travis-ci.org/pvorb/node-clone)
[![info badge](https://nodei.co/npm/clone.png?downloads=true&downloadRank=true&stars=true)](http://npm-stat.com/charts.html?package=clone)
offers foolproof _deep cloning_ of objects, arrays, numbers, strings etc. in JavaScript.
## Installation
npm install clone
(It also works with browserify, ender or standalone.)
## Example
~~~ javascript
var clone = require('clone');
var a, b;
a = { foo: { bar: 'baz' } }; // initial value of a
b = clone(a); // clone a -> b
a.foo.bar = 'foo'; // change a
console.log(a); // show a
console.log(b); // show b
~~~
This will print:
~~~ javascript
{ foo: { bar: 'foo' } }
{ foo: { bar: 'baz' } }
~~~
**clone** masters cloning simple objects (even with custom prototype), arrays,
Date objects, and RegExp objects. Everything is cloned recursively, so that you
can clone dates in arrays in objects, for example.
## API
`clone(val, circular, depth)`
* `val` -- the value that you want to clone, any type allowed
* `circular` -- boolean
Call `clone` with `circular` set to `false` if you are certain that `obj`
contains no circular references. This will give better performance if needed.
There is no error if `undefined` or `null` is passed as `obj`.
* `depth` -- depth to which the object is to be cloned (optional,
defaults to infinity)
`clone.clonePrototype(obj)`
* `obj` -- the object that you want to clone
Does a prototype clone as
[described by Oran Looney](http://oranlooney.com/functional-javascript/).
## Circular References
~~~ javascript
var a, b;
a = { hello: 'world' };
a.myself = a;
b = clone(a);
console.log(b);
~~~
This will print:
~~~ javascript
{ hello: "world", myself: [Circular] }
~~~
So, `b.myself` points to `b`, not `a`. Neat!
## Test
npm test
## Caveat
Some special objects like a socket or `process.stdout`/`stderr` are known to not
be cloneable. If you find other objects that cannot be cloned, please [open an
issue](https://github.com/pvorb/node-clone/issues/new).
