Array concatenation and deduplication
This is how initializers and composers metadata gets merged.

descriptor.initializers = _.uniq(_.concat(descriptor1.initializers, descriptor2.initializers))

descriptor.composers = _.uniq(_.concat(descriptor1.composers, descriptor2.composers))

Deep merging algorithm
- Plain objects are (recursively) deep merged, including ES6 Symbol keys, ES5 getters and setters.
- Arrays are concatenated.
- Functions, Symbols, RegExp, etc. values are copied by reference.
- The last object type overwrites previous object type.
1
const MyStamp1 = stampit()
2
3
const deepObject1 = {
4
[Symbol('foo')]: { one: 'first' }, // this plain object will be deep merged
5
6
array: [0, 'bar', () => {}, { obj: 'my object' }], // this array will be concatenated with
7
8
func: MyStamp1, // this stamp will be replaced with another stamp
9
10
something: [42], // this array will be replaced with an object
11
12
oldKey: 'some value'
13
}
14
15
const MyStamp2 = stampit()
16
17
const deepObject2 = {
18
[Symbol('foo')]: { two: 'second' },
19
20
array: [0, 'bar', { another: 'object' }],
21
22
func: MyStamp2,

something: { [0]: 42 },

newKey: 'some value'

The merged result of the two objects above will be this:
1
const deepResult = {
2
[Symbol('foo')]: { one: 'first', two: 'second' }, // contains properties from both objects
3
4
array: [0, 'bar', () => {}, { obj: 'my object' }, 0, 'bar', { another: 'object' }], // both arrays are here
5
6
func: MyStamp2, // Stamp2 replaced the Stamp1
7
8
something: { [0]: 42 }, // the array was replaced with the object
9
10
oldKey: 'some value', // these two were simply carried across
11
newKey: 'some value'
12
}
