## Install
Install with [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/):
```sh
$ npm install --save assign-deep
```
## Heads up!
[Please update](https://github.com/update/update) to version 1.0.1 or later, a critical bug was fixed in that version.
## Behavior
* This follows the same behavior as [Object.assign()](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Object/assign), and thus _does not_ deep clone values.
* The first argument is the "target" object.
* To shallow clone, pass an empty object as the first argument.
* One or more additional ("source") objects may be passed.
* When multiple objects are passed, properties in _later_ objects will overwrite same-named properties in _earlier_ objects. Thus, properties in the target object will be overwritten by same-named properties in other objects.
* Only enumerable and own properties are copied.
* String and Symbol properties are copied.
* Sparse arguments are skipped, so this does not throw on `null` or `undefined` source values.
* Like [Object.assign()](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Object/assign), `[[Get]]` is used on source objects and `[[Set]]` is used on the target, so it will invoke getters and setters. Therefore it assigns properties versus just copying or defining new properties. _Note that this should not be used for merging new properties into a prototype if the merge sources contain getters and you do not want `[[Get]]` to be used on the getters. For copying property definitions and their enumerability into prototypes `Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor()` and `Object.defineProperty()` should be used instead._
## Usage
```js
const assign = require('assign-deep');
const config = {
admin: true,
author: {
name: { first: 'Joe' }
}
};
const locals = {
admin: false,
author: {
name: { last: 'Smith' },
username: 'joesmith'
}
};
console.log(assign(config, locals));
// {
// admin: false,
// author: {
// name: { first: 'Joe', last: 'Smith' },
// username: 'joesmith'
// }
// }
```
