Merging two JavaScript objects

Let's say you want to merge the properties of two JavaScript objects:

Copylet a = { foo: 1, bar: 2 }
let b = { bar: 3, baz: 4 }

let merged = merge(a, b) // => { foo: 1, bar: 3, baz: 4 }

Depending on your build, there are several ways to implement merge().

When you have ES6

When you have an ES6 transpiler or don't support IE11, you may use the spread operator (...) to expand both objects into a new object literal:

Copylet merged = { ...a, ...b }

When you have Unpoly Show archive.org snapshot

Copylet merged = up.util.merge(a, b)

When you only have ES5

Copylet merged = Object.assign({}, a, b)

Note for Lodash users

Lodash has _.merge() Show archive.org snapshot , but that merges arrays and objects recursively. Make sure this is what you want.
