Record-like deep assign

Recursively assigns enumerable own properties of the given sources to a target object.

• API inspired by Object.assign, with source objects applied from left to right:

  import deepAssign from "record-like-deep-assign"
  
  deepAssign(target, ...sources) // Returns `target`

• Plain objects are merged deeply:

  // Result: { x: { a: 1, b: 2 } }
  deepAssign({ x: { a: 1 } }, { x: { b: 2 } })

• Arrays and constructor-instantiated objects are treated like primitives. They aren't merged but replaced in their entirely:

  // Result: { arr: ["c"] }
  deepAssign({ arr: ["a", "b"] }, { arr: ["c"] })
  
  // Result: { x: Date 1997-11-21 }
  deepAssign({ x: new Date("1996-12-03") }, { x: new Date("1997-11-21") })

• Nullish sources are ignored:

  // Result: { a: 1, b: 2 }
  deepAssign({ a: 1 }, null, undefined, { b: 2 })
