merge

Description

Accepts 0 or more objects as arguments, and returns a single object with subsequent objects merged. Each subsequent object’s key/value pairs are added to the preceding object. This function is used to combine multiple objects into one. You can think of this as the first object being the base object, and each subsequent argument being overrides that are applied to the base object.

  "empty_list": [],
  "empty_hash": {},
  "objects": {
    "foo": "bar",
    "bar": "baz"

Expression	Result
merge(empty_hash)	{}
merge(empty_hash, empty_hash)	{}
merge([object Object], [object Object])	{"a":1,"b":2}
merge([object Object], [object Object])	{"a":2}
merge([object Object], [object Object], [object Object])	{"a":2,"b":2,"c":3,"d":4}
