  1. function in module ng

Creates a deep copy of source, which should be an object or an array.

  • If no destination is supplied, a copy of the object or array is created.
  • If a destination is provided, all of its elements (for arrays) or properties (for objects) are deleted and then all elements/properties from the source are copied to it.
  • If source is not an object or array (inc. null and undefined), source is returned.
  • If source is identical to destination an exception will be thrown.


Only enumerable properties are taken into account. Non-enumerable properties (both on source and on destination) will be ignored.
