In my JavaScript code, I have a custom class called PaymentCoordinator with a constructor defined as follows:
constructor(
private amount: number,
private description: string,
private title: string,
private transactionType: string,
private creditors: Array<any>,
private categories: Array<string>,
private startdate: Date = undefined,
private enddate: Date = undefined,
obj: any = false)
The final property in the constructor, obj, is used to create a new instance of PaymentCoordinator based on a provided object, essentially cloning it. If an obj is passed (when obj !== false), the cloning process occurs like this:
obj && Object.assign(this, obj);
While all properties of the given obj are successfully set, there seems to be an issue with the categories property, which is an array of strings.
I also attempted the following approach:
obj && Object.assign(this, obj);
this.categories = obj.categories
Unfortunately, even this method does not properly assign the categories property to the newly created object.
After checking the contents of obj.categories, I can confirm that the array does indeed contain strings.
Any insights into why this behavior is occurring?
