It's not something the library is really designed for but it is possible using customMerge
.
const deepmerge = require("deepmerge");
const oneVariable = {one : 1,two : 2};
const twoVariable = {two : 3};
const customMerge = () => (a, b) => {
const mergedResult = deepmerge(a, b, { customMerge });
for (const keyA of Object.keys(a)) {
if (!Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call(b, keyA)) {
delete mergedResult[keyA];
}
}
return mergedResult;
};
const result = customMerge()(
oneVariable,
twoVariable
);
console.log(result);

Wow thank you so much Rebecca, just one question I haven't tested your code yet. Does it support infinite nested object properties or only one level?
I haven't tested it but it should support nested properties. The customMerge
is telling deep merge how to merge for each merge it performs.
Just noticed a small mistake in my code. Should be fixed now.
Thanks yeah I checked it now but it doesn't seem to go all the way through.
console.log(customMerge()({
"default": {
"init": {
"body": {
"hello": "ads",
"hi": "2",
"password1": "s",
},
},
},
}, {
"default": {
"init": {
"body": {
"hello": "ads",
"password1": "s",
},
},
},
}));
In my real example I had these two objects hi
property should be removed.
I tried customMerge before you mention it and couldn't get it to that level.
The code that you provided also doesn't reach to that it only gets to "default".
This is the result right now :
Object {
"default": Object {
"init": Object {
"body": Object {
"hello": "ads",
"hi": "2",
"password1": "s",
},
},
},
}
I just tested it and it was working for me. I think you tried running the version with a small mistake in - recopy the code (not the code you quoted).
Make sure the call to deepmerge looks like this:
const mergedResult = deepmerge(A, B, { customMerge });
I don't know why it doesn't work maybe I'm doing something wrong but anyways. Thank you so much.
I have two objects for example :
I want twoVariable to be my target. So basically the result should be
{two : 3}
andone
property must be removed. So I want only the changes of twoVariable to be added to the result and anything it has lost should be removed too.Currently you have such a behavior for overriding, tow from twoVariable overrides oneVariable.two but the result has
one : 1
in it, which should be removed.Is this possible?
