Hello!
Very stuck on this code challenge. I don't have experience with Object.assign() and got as far as I could with MDN before reaching out. If someone could explain why my solution is not working, I'd be appreciative. Code should be attached.
Thanks in advance!
var expect = require('chai').expect
describe('clone', function () {
var clone = require('./clone.js');
it('some description string', function () {
// YOUR CODE HERE
name = {name: 'Ryan'}
expect(clone(name)).to.deep.equal({name: 'Ryan'});
})
})
function clone (objectForCloning) {
return Object.assign({}, objectForCloning)
}
module.exports = clone

expect(clone(name)).to.deep.equal({name: 'Ryan'}); // pass {name: 'Ryan'} directly instead of assigning to name first
or
