如何将多个对象合并为一个？

Question

I am looking for a way to merge many objects with the same key to a one big object. The number of objects can be more that 2.

For example I have this code:

const a = {
  en: {
    hello: 'Hello'
  },

  fr: {
    hello: 'Bonjour'
  }
}

const b = {
  en: {
    goodbye: 'Goodbye'
  },

  fr: {
    goodbye: 'Au revoir'
  }
}

How to merge that into this:

{
  locale: 'en',
  messages: {
    en: {
      hello: 'Hello',
      goodbye: 'Goodbye'
    },

    fr: {
      hello: 'Bonjour',
      goodbye: 'Au revoir'
    }
  }
}

Answer 1

You could use a deep merge function for every level of the object.

The function deepMerge works as single function for a given target or as callback for Array#reduce , where an array of objects is iterated and an empty object is supplied as startvalue for reducing.

As result, you need a new object and assign the merges objects as new property messages .

 function deepMerge(target, source) { Object.entries(source).forEach(([key, value]) => { if (value && typeof value === 'object') { deepMerge(target[key] = target[key] || {}, value); return; } target[key] = value; }); return target; } var a = { en: { hello: 'Hello' }, fr: { hello: 'Bonjour' } }, b = { en: { goodbye: 'Goodbye' }, fr: { goodbye: 'Au revoir' } }, c = { locale: 'en', messages: [a, b].reduce(deepMerge, {}) }; console.log(c);

Function mergeArray for array merging

const mergeArray = (firstArray, secondArray) => {
  return {
    locale: 'en',
    messages: {
      en: {
          ...firstArray.en,
          ...secondArray.en
      },
      fr: {
        ...firstArray.fr,
        ...secondArray.fr
      }
    }
  }
};

console.log(mergeArray(a, b));

Below snippets give you expected output.

const value = { locale: 'en', messages: { en: { ...a.en, ...b.en }, fr: { ...a.fr, ...b.fr } }};
console.log(value)

Answer 3

If you want it to a new object, you can use Object.Assign({}, a, b)

Answer 4

Try this when the number of objects is dynamic:

var o, k, v, n, A=[a,b], r={}
for(o in A) for(k in A[o]) if(!r[k]) r[k]={};
for(o in A) for(v in A[o]) for(n in A[o][v]) if(!r[v][n]) r[v][n]= A[o][v][n];
console.log(r);
console.log({locale: 'en',messages:r});
