Require javascript-object-paraphernalia

var obj = require('javascript-object-paraphernalia')

Define an objects for use with the following examples

var exampleFirst = {
    fruit: "Apple",
    animals: {
      firstAnimal: "Beaver"
    }
  };

Use obj.clone to clone the first example object

var exampleClone = obj.clone(exampleFirst)

exampleClone's contents:-

{
  fruit: "Apple",
  animals: {
    firstAnimal: "Beaver"
  }
}

Update the clone's inner properties

exampleClone.fruit = "Orange"
exampleClone.animals.cloneOnlyAnimal = "Rabbit"

Compare the clone with the first example object

exampleFirst = {
  fruit: "Apple",
  animals: {
    firstAnimal: "Beaver"
  }
}
exampleClone = {
  fruit: "Orange",
  animals: {
    cloneOnlyAnimal: "Rabbit",
    firstAnimal: "Beaver"
  }
}
