Javascript update and ignoring undefined fields
I want to substantially update a large javascript object. However, various tools at the front add unnecessary margins that should be ignored when updating the object. I'm working with angular, but open up to use lodash / underscore if needed. I just want to be able to update an existing object without adding additional fields that are entered when they are placed in the UI.
var ob1 = {
attr1: 'stuff',
attr2: 'stuff'
};
var ob2 = {
attr1: 'changedstuff',
attr2: 'stuff',
uiCrap: 'junk'
};
update(ob1, ob2);
// should result in
// ob1 = { attr1: 'changedstuff', attr2: 'stuff };
Does anyone know if it has a built in angular / javascript function?
