xtend is a basic utility library in JavaScript. Its primary function is to extend an object by appending all properties from each object provided in a list. When an identical property is encountered, it gives precedence to the one located on the far right.
To use xtend, you start by requiring the xtend package in your JavaScript file. Here's a basic example:
var extend = require("xtend")
var combination = extend({
a: "a",
b: "c"
}, {
b: "b"
})
// output: { a: "a", b: "b" }
In this code snippet, we create a new object combination by extending the first object { a: "a", b: "c" } with the second object { b: "b" }, overriding the previously defined property b: "c" with b: "b" from the second object.
Regarding the xtend documentation: unfortunately, the readme text does not provide a direct link or reference to any comprehensive documentation for xtend. So, the primary source of information about xtend is likely its GitHub page, where you can explore the repository, including source code and readme.
