JavaScript: Create a new object from the combination of two or more objects

JavaScript fundamental (ES6 Syntax): Exercise-178 with Solution

Write a JavaScript program to create a new object from the combination of two or more objects.

• Use Array.prototype.reduce() combined with Object.keys() to iterate over all objects and keys.
• Use Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty() and Array.prototype.concat() to append values for keys existing in multiple objects.

Sample Solution:

JavaScript Code:

//#Source https://bit.ly/2neWfJ2 
const merge = (...objs) =>
  [...objs].reduce(
    (acc, obj) =>
      Object.keys(obj).reduce((a, k) => {
        acc[k] = acc.hasOwnProperty(k) ? [].concat(acc[k]).concat(obj[k]) : obj[k];
        return acc;
      }, {}),
    {}
  );
const object = {
  a: [{ x: 2 }, { y: 4 }],
  b: 1
};
const other = {
  a: { z: 3 },
  b: [2, 3],
  c: 'foo'
};
console.log(merge(object, other));

Sample Output:

{"a":[{"x":2},{"y":4},{"z":3}],"b":[1,2,3],"c":"foo"}
