Javascript - cloning An object array

consider following code snippet.We will check different ways to clone an object array and check if cloning is deep or shallow.
var game_popularity = [
    { game: "fruit ninja", popularity: 78 },
    { game: "road runner", popularity: 20 },
    { game: "maze runner", popularity: 40 },
    { game: "ludo", popularity: 75 },
    { game: "temple runner", popularity: 86 }
];
console.log("sorted original array before clonning");
game_popularity.sort((a, b) => a.popularity < b.popularity);
console.log(game_popularity);


console.log("clone using object assign");
const cl2 = game_popularity.map(a => Object.assign({}, a));
cl2[1].game = "clash of titan";
cl2.push({ game: "logan", popularity: 57 });
console.log(cl2);


//adding new array element doesnt reflect in original array
console.log("clone using concat");
var ph = []
var cl = ph.concat(game_popularity);

//copied by reference ?
cl[0].game = "rise of civilization";

game_popularity[0].game = 'ping me';
cl.push({ game: "angry bird", popularity: 67 });
console.log(cl);

console.log("clone using ellipses");
var cl3 = [...game_popularity];
cl3.push({ game: "blue whale", popularity: 67 });
cl3[2].game = "harry potter";
console.log(cl3);

console.log("clone using json.parse");
var cl4 = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(game_popularity));
cl4.push({ game: "home alone", popularity: 87 });
cl4[3].game ="lockhead martin";
console.log(cl4);

console.log("clone using Object.create");
var cl5 = Array.from(Object.create(game_popularity));
cl5.push({ game: "fish ville", popularity: 87 });
cl5[3].game ="veto power";
console.log(cl5);


console.log("clone using lodash-->cloneDeep");
var cl6 = _.cloneDeep(game_popularity);
cl6.push({ game: "crop ville", popularity: 67 });
cl6[3].game ="shooter";
console.log(cl6);

console.log("clone using lodash-->clone");
var cl7 = _.clone(game_popularity);
cl7.push({ game: "ice age", popularity: 61 });
cl7[3].game ="car theft";
console.log(cl7);

//array function
console.log("sorted original array after clonning");
game_popularity.sort((a, b) => a.popularity < b.popularity);
console.log(game_popularity);


console.log("Object.assign deep clone object array");
console.log("json.parse deep clone object array");
console.log("concat does not deep clone object array");
console.log("ellipses does not deep clone object array");
console.log("Object.create does not deep clone object array");
console.log("lodash-->cloneDeep deep clone object array");
console.log("lodash-->clone shallow copy object array");


output:

  { game: 'fruit ninja', popularity: 78 },

Object.assign deep clone object array
json.parse deep clone object array
concat does not deep clone object array
ellipses does not deep clone object array
Object.create does not deep clone object array
lodash-->cloneDeep deep clone object array



Conclusion:

json.parse,lodash-->cloneDeep are doing deep copy of object array.

Object.assign does not do deep copy  please refer below link
