Tests:

  • Using the spread operator

    AخA
     
    const firstObject = { sampleData: 'Hello world' }
    const secondObject = { moreData: 'foo bar' }
    const finalObject = {
        ...firstObject,
        ...secondObject
    };

  • Using Object.assign

     
    const firstObject = { sampleData: 'Hello world' }
    const secondObject = { moreData: 'foo bar' }
    const finalObject = Object.assign({}, firstObject, secondObject);

  • Using For-In loop

     
    const firstObject = { sampleData: 'Hello world' }
    const secondObject = { moreData: 'foo bar' }
    const finalObject = {}
    for (let key in firstObject) {
      finalObject[key] = firstObject[key];
    }
    for (let key in secondObject) {
      finalObject[key] = secondObject[key];
    }
