Create an exact copy of an object in JavaScript[edit]
Stack Overflow's answers to the question "How do I clone an object in JavaScript?" are unsatisfactory. All posts asking that are marked as duplicates of these two questions and the top answers for them do not come close to creating full copies of objects (the JSON solution drops functions or use jQuery which also drops parts and is unacceptable for other reasons). All I'm looking for is a way to create an exact copy of any object in a way that is used like
var CopyObject = Clone(OriginalObject);
. The code doesn't have to be short, but it shouldn't use jQuery or require including external JavaScript code and it should work for any object. Can anyone solve this? — Melab±1 ☎ 16:49, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
