js clone element

var x = {myProp: "value"};
var xClone = Object.assign({}, x);

//Obs: nested objects are still copied as reference.var sheep={"height":20,"name":"Melvin"};
var clonedSheep=JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(sheep));

//note: cloning like this will not work with some complex objects such as:  Date(), undefined, Infinity
// For complex objects try: lodash's cloneDeep() method or angularJS angular.copy() method// Syntax:
let newClone = node.cloneNode([deep])

// Example:
let p = document.getElementById("para1")
let p_prime = p.cloneNode(true)
