Merge the two Objects into a one in JavaScript

we are going to learn about how to merge the two objects in JavaScript with the help of examples.

Consider, we have the following two objects in our code:

const user = {id:1, name:"gowtham"}const posts = { title:"my post", body:"demo"}

Now, we need to combine the above two object into a single object.

Using Spread operator

To combine the two objects into a single object, we can use the es6 spread(…) operator in JavaScript.

Here is an example:

const user = {id:1, name:"gowtham"};const posts = { title:"my post", body:"demo"};const result = {...user, ...posts};console.log(result);

Output:

{id:1, name:"gowtham", title:"my post", body:"demo"}

Note: The spread(…) operator unpacks the iterables (such as sets, objects, objects, etc) into a individual elements.

Using Object.assign( ) method

Alternatively, we can use the built-in Object.assign() method to merge the objects in JavaScript.

The Object.assign() method takes the two arguments, first one is the target object where source objects needs to be added.

The second argument is the one or more source objects.

Here is an example:

const user = {id:1, name:"gowtham"};const posts = { title:"my post", body:"demo"};const result = Object.assign({}, user, posts);console.log(result);

Merging three objects

const user = {id:1, name:"gowtham"};const posts = { title:"my post", body:"demo"};const comments = {comment: "super good"};const result = Object.assign({}, user, posts, comments);

Output:

{ id:1, name:"gowtham", title:"my post", body:"demo", comment: "super good"}
