Please add OOTB support for record.clone

[vadim_g]

Hi guys,

please add OOTB support for record.clone like:

import Model from '@bryntum/grid/source/lib/Core/data/Model';

Model.prototype.clone = function () {
	return this.copy(this.id);
};

Thanks
Vadim

Hi Vadim,

Thanks — we already provide this via Model.copy(). See Model.copy.

I saw it, we use very often clone...I think may be useful for others too, clone is different than copy

Hi Vadim,

Model.copy is what we ship today: https://bryntum.com/products/grid/docs/api/Core/data/Model#function-copy

If you want a clone alias in your app you can add one easily. Example that by default creates a new id, but can preserve the id if desired:

import Model from '@bryntum/grid/source/lib/Core/data/Model';

Model.prototype.clone = function(preserveId = false) {
    return this.copy(preserveId ? this.id : undefined);
};

clone is different than copy

Could you please let us know what do expect from clone that you don't see in copy?
