merge

The merge util merges all provided values into a single object, as long as the value is defined.

It requires a start object to merge the remaining properties into. Each additional property is provided as a tuple of [key, value]. When the value is undefined, the property is omitted from the result.

import { merge } from '@ibenvandeveire/utils';

interface Example {
	id: string;
	books?: string[];
	user?: { name: string };
	metaData?: unknown;
}

const metaData = undefined;
const books = ['Hello world', 'Java: How To Program'];
const user = { name: 'Test' };

merge<Example>(
	{
		id: 'test',
	},
	['books', books],
	['user', user],
	['metaData', metaData]
);

// => result: { id: 'test', books: ['Hello world', 'Java: How To Program'], user: { name: 'Test' } }
