Question

Given

options = {
 underscored: true
}

products = {
 foo: bar
}

I’d like to get

products = {
 underscored: true
 foo: bar
}

Is it possible to push an object into another object in Javascript?

Answer 1

ES5

<script>
function mix(source, target) {
   for(var key in source) {
     if (source.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
        target[key] = source[key];
     }
   }

}

  mix(options, products);
</script>

ES6 – this will mutate objectToMergeTo

const combinedObject = Object.assign(objectToMergeTo, source1, source2)

ES7 (syntax beauty with spread operator) –
this version however creates a new instance, you can’t add into an object with spread operator.

const combined = { ...source1, ...source2 }
