## Install

Install package:

```bash
# yarn
yarn add defu
# npm
npm install defu
# pnpm
pnpm install defu
```

## Usage

```js
import { defu } from "defu";

const options = defu(object, ...defaults);
```

Leftmost arguments have more priority when assigning defaults.

### Arguments

- **object (Object):** The destination object.
- **source (Object):** The source object.

```js
import { defu } from "defu";

console.log(defu({ a: { b: 2 } }, { a: { b: 1, c: 3 } }));
// => { a: { b: 2, c: 3 } }
```

### Using with CommonJS

```js
const { defu } = require("defu");
```

## Custom Merger

Sometimes default merging strategy is not desirable. Using `createDefu` we can create a custom instance with different merging strategy.

This function accepts `obj` (source object), `key` and `value` (current value) and should return `true` if applied custom merging.

**Example:** Sum numbers instead of overriding

```js
import { createDefu } from "defu";

const ext = createDefu((obj, key, value) => {
  if (typeof obj[key] === "number" && typeof value === "number") {
    obj[key] += value;
    return true;
  }
});

ext({ cost: 15 }, { cost: 10 }); // { cost: 25 }
```

## Function Merger

Using `defuFn`, if user provided a function, it will be called with default value instead of merging.

It can be useful for default values manipulation.

**Example:** Filter some items from defaults (array) and add 20 to the count default value.

```js
import { defuFn } from "defu";

defuFn(
  {
    ignore: (val) => val.filter((item) => item !== "dist"),
    count: (count) => count + 20,
  },
  {
    ignore: ["node_modules", "dist"],
    count: 10,
  },
);
/*
 {
    ignore: ['node_modules'],
    count: 30
  }
  */
```

**Note:** if the default value is not defined, the function defined won't be called and kept as value.

## Array Function Merger

`defuArrayFn` is similar to `defuFn` but **only applies to array values defined in defaults**.

**Example:** Filter some items from defaults (array) and add 20 to the count default value.

```js
import { defuArrayFn } from "defu";

defuArrayFn(
  {
    ignore: (val) => val.filter((i) => i !== "dist"),
    count: () => 20,
  },
  {
    ignore: ["node_modules", "dist"],
    count: 10,
  },
);
/*
  {
    ignore: ['node_modules'],
    count: () => 20
  }
  */
```

**Note:** the function is called only if the value defined in defaults is an aray.

### Remarks

- `object` and `defaults` are not modified
- Nullish values ([`null`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/null) and [`undefined`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/undefined)) are skipped. Please use [defaults-deep](https://www.npmjs.com/package/defaults-deep) or [omit-deep](http://npmjs.com/package/omit-deep) or [lodash.defaultsdeep](https://www.npmjs.com/package/lodash.defaultsdeep) if you need to preserve or different behavior.
- Assignment of `__proto__` and `constructor` keys will be skipped to prevent security issues with object pollution.
- Will concat `array` values (if default property is defined)

```js
console.log(defu({ array: ["b", "c"] }, { array: ["a"] }));
// => { array: ['b', 'c', 'a'] }
```

## Type

We expose `Defu` as a type utility to return a merged type that follows the rules that defu follows.

```js
import type { Defu } from 'defu'

type Options = Defu<{ foo: 'bar' }, [{}, { bar: 'baz' }, { something: 42 }]>
// returns { foo: 'bar', bar: 'baz', 'something': 42 }
```
