it should Array.slice()allow me to make a copy of the array, and then I can change this copy without changing the original array, but when I use Array.forEach()the copy to delete some values, these values ββare also removed from the original array. Does anyone have an idea why this is happening? Here is the code I used:
var originalArray = [
{ id: 1, name: 'Sales', datasources: [
{ id:1 , name: 'datasource1', fields: [] },
{ id:2 , name: 'datasource2', fields: [] },
] },
{ id: 4, name: 'Accounts', datasources: [
{ id:3 , name: 'datasource3', fields: [] },
{ id:4 , name: 'datasource4', fields: [] },
] },
{ id: 123, name: 'my datasources', datasources: [
{ id:1 , name: 'datasource1', fields: [] },
{ id:2 , name: 'datasource2', fields: [] },
{ id:3 , name: 'datasource3', fields: [] },
{ id:4 , name: 'datasource4', fields: [] },
] },
{ id: 12, name: 'shared datasources', datasources: [
{ id:13 , name: 'myshared datasource', fields: [] },
{ id:16 , name: 'hello test', fields: [] },
] },
];
var copyOfOriginalArray = originalArray.slice();
copyOfOriginalArray.forEach((folder, index) => {
folder.datasources = folder.datasources.filter((o) => { return o.name.trim().toLowerCase().includes('hello'); });
});
JSON.stringify(originalArray);
JSON.stringify(copyOfOriginalArray);
