Merging two javascript objects into one?

var x =  {posts: 2};
var y = {notes: 1};
var z = Object.assign( {}, x, y );
console.log(z);

Use Object.assign() and assign object properties to empty object.


Here's a function that's a bit more generic. It propagates through the object and will merge into a declared variable.

const posts = {  '2018-05-11': {    posts: 2  },  '2018-05-12': {    posts: 5  }};
const notes = {  '2018-05-11': {    notes: 1  },  '2018-05-12': {    notes: 3  }};

function objCombine(obj, variable) {
  for (let key of Object.keys(obj)) {
    if (!variable[key]) variable[key] = {};

    for (let innerKey of Object.keys(obj[key]))
      variable[key][innerKey] = obj[key][innerKey];
  }
}

let combined = {};
objCombine(posts, combined);
objCombine(notes, combined);
console.log(combined)

I hope you find this helpful.


You can do the following with Object.assign(): 

var posts = {'2018-05-11' : {posts: 2}} // var posts
var notes = {'2018-05-11' : {notes: 1}} // var notes

Object.assign(posts['2018-05-11'], notes['2018-05-11']);
console.log(posts);
