utils-merge is a small, focused npm package providing a utility for deep merging JavaScript objects. It's commonly used to combine configuration objects or extend existing objects with new properties. Unlike a simple shallow copy, utils-merge recursively merges nested objects, ensuring that properties from different sources are combined rather than overwritten. This package is often found as a dependency in larger frameworks and libraries relying on flexible configuration options. Its concise nature and targeted functionality makes it a useful tool for managing complex object structures.
The utils-merge npm package has seen very infrequent releases. It had one release in July 2013 (version 1.0.0) and another in September 2017 (version 1.0.1). Since then, there have been no further releases up to July 2025. The package appears to be stable, but also not actively maintained with new versions.
npm package utils-merge downloads show a generally increasing trend from February 2024 to July 2025, peaking at over 167 million in June 2025. August 2025 downloads are significantly lower (115 million), but represent incomplete monthly data.
