clone #

Deep clones a source input recursively and copies its values — instead of references to its values — into a new instance of that input. The result is a structurally equivalent clone that operates independently of the original source and controls its own values.

Syntax #

clone(input)

Usage #

✅ Correct Usage #

const copy_obj = clone({ name: "mom" }); // clones object
const copy_arr = clone([{ name: "mom" }, { name: "dad" }]); // clones array

Arguments #

> input (any) #

Input could by anything.

Examples #

const { spec, clone } = require('pactum');

const user = { name: "mom",  age: 50 };

await spec()
  .post('/api/users')
  .withJson(user)
  .expectStatus(200);

const user_two = clone(user);
user_two.name = "dad";

await spec()
  .post('/api/users')
  .withJson(user_two)
  .expectStatus(200);

Yields #

Returns a copy of the input.

Notes #

It internally uses klona package to perform cloning.
