Merge Deep (Object)

The Merge Deep (Object) node deeply merges two objects, recursively combining their properties. If both objects have a property with the same key, the values will be merged if they are both objects, otherwise the value from object b will overwrite the value from object a.

​
Inputs

  1. a (object, default: {}): The first object to merge.
  2. b (object, default: {}): The second object to merge.

​
Outputs

  1. result (object): The merged object.

​
Configuration

This node has no configuration options.

​
Usage

To use the Merge Deep (Object) node:
  1. Connect two objects to the a and b input ports. If no objects are connected, the node will use the default empty object {}.
  2. The node will output the deeply merged object on the result port.

​
Example

Suppose you have two objects: 
// Object A
{
  "user": {
    "name": "Alice",
    "age": 30,
    "address": {
      "city": "New York",
      "country": "USA"
    }
  },
  "settings": {
    "theme": "dark"
  }
}

// Object B
{
  "user": {
    "age": 31,
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "address": {
      "city": "Los Angeles"
    }
  },
  "settings": {
    "language": "en"
  }
}
When you pass these objects through the Merge Deep (Object) node, the output will be: 
{
  "user": {
    "name": "Alice",
    "age": 31,
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "address": {
      "city": "Los Angeles",
      "country": "USA"
    }
  },
  "settings": {
    "theme": "dark",
    "language": "en"
  }
}
Notice how:
  • The user object is merged recursively
  • age from object B overwrites the value from object A
  • email is added from object B
  • The address object is merged, with city from object B overwriting the value from object A
  • The settings object is merged, with language added from object B

​
Best Practices

  • Use Merge Deep (Object) when you need to combine two objects while preserving the structure of nested objects.
  • Be aware that properties from object b will overwrite properties with the same key in object a, unless both values are objects, in which case they will be merged recursively.

​
Common Issues

  • If either input is not an object, the node will throw an error. Ensure that you are connecting objects to the a and b inputs.
  • If you want a shallow merge instead of a deep merge, use the Merge (Object) node instead.
