The overrideObject method rewrites value of specified property of an object with value of the same property of another object.

Example

To execute the example, add a link to PP.js scenario file to HTML page. Create two objects, and overwrite value of the first object chartType property with values of corresponding property in the second array:

// Determine object to replace
var chart = {
    chartType: "pie",
    editMode: 0,
    options: "selected"	
};
console.log("The value of the chartType property of the source object: " + chart.chartType);
console.log("The value of the editMode property of the source object: " + chart.editMode);
// Determine the object, which members are used to extend the first object
var chartView = {
    chartType: "line",
    editMode: 2,
    selectionEnabled: True,
};
PP.overrideObject(chart, chartView, "chartType");
console.log("The value of the chartType property of the overridden object: " + chart.chartType);
console.log("The value of the editMode proeprty of the overridden object: " + chart.editMode);

After executing the example the browser console displays value of the chartType property for the initial and overwritten first object ( value of the editMode property is given for comparison):

Value of chartType property for initial object: pie
Value of editMode property for initial object: 0
Value of chartType property for overwritten object: line
Value of editMode property for overwritten object: 0
