How to clone an object in Javascript

[Admin]

Imagine you have a source array, you want to create another one based on the source and want to manipulate the new one.

Código:



var source = [1,2,3];
var new = source;

new[1] = 44;

=> source will be = [1,44,3];
=> new will be = [1,44,3];



Maybe it is not exactly what you want.
You maybe would prefer to obtain a result like:

=> source will be = [1,2,3];
=> new will be = [1,44,3];

In order to do that, you have to clone the source object.

Código:



var source = [1,2,3];
var copy = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(source));



Than, you will obtain the wanted behavior.
