:description: mergedeep: A deep merge function for 🐍.
.. title:: mergedeep
```
# [mergedeep](https://pypi.org/project/mergedeep/)
```eval_rst
Version |version|
```
**A deep merge function for 🐍.**
## Installation
```bash
$ pip install mergedeep
```
## Usage
```text
merge(destination: MutableMapping, *sources: Mapping, strategy: Strategy = Strategy.REPLACE) -> MutableMapping
```
Deep merge without mutating the source dicts.
```python3
from mergedeep import merge
a = {"keyA": 1}
b = {"keyB": {"sub1": 10}}
c = {"keyB": {"sub2": 20}}
merged = merge({}, a, b, c)
print(merged)
# {"keyA": 1, "keyB": {"sub1": 10, "sub2": 20}}
```
Deep merge into an existing dict.
```python3
from mergedeep import merge
a = {"keyA": 1}
b = {"keyB": {"sub1": 10}}
c = {"keyB": {"sub2": 20}}
merge(a, b, c)
print(a)
# {"keyA": 1, "keyB": {"sub1": 10, "sub2": 20}}
```
### Merge strategies:
* Replace (*default*)
> `Strategy.REPLACE`
```python3
# When `destination` and `source` keys are the same, replace the `destination` value with one from `source` (default).
# Note: with multiple sources, the `last` (i.e. rightmost) source value will be what appears in the merged result.
from mergedeep import merge, Strategy
dst = {"key": [1, 2]}
src = {"key": [3, 4]}
merge(dst, src, strategy=Strategy.REPLACE)
# same as: merge(dst, src)
print(dst)
# {"key": [3, 4]}
```
* Additive
> `Strategy.ADDITIVE`
```python3
# When `destination` and `source` values are both the same additive collection type, extend `destination` by adding values from `source`.
# Additive collection types include: `list`, `tuple`, `set`, and `Counter`
# Note: if the values are not additive collections of the same type, then fallback to a `REPLACE` merge.
from mergedeep import merge, Strategy
dst = {"key": [1, 2], "count": Counter({"a": 1, "b": 1})}
src = {"key": [3, 4], "count": Counter({"a": 1, "c": 1})}
merge(dst, src, strategy=Strategy.ADDITIVE)
print(dst)
# {"key": [1, 2, 3, 4], "count": Counter({"a": 2, "b": 1, "c": 1})}
```
* Typesafe replace
> `Strategy.TYPESAFE_REPLACE` or `Strategy.TYPESAFE`
```python3
# When `destination` and `source` values are of different types, raise `TypeError`. Otherwise, perform a `REPLACE` merge.
from mergedeep import merge, Strategy
dst = {"key": [1, 2]}
src = {"key": {3, 4}}
merge(dst, src, strategy=Strategy.TYPESAFE_REPLACE) # same as: `Strategy.TYPESAFE`
# TypeError: destination type: <class 'list'> differs from source type: <class 'set'> for key: "key"
```
* Typesafe additive
> `Strategy.TYPESAFE_ADDITIVE`
```python3
# When `destination` and `source` values are of different types, raise `TypeError`. Otherwise, perform a `ADDITIVE` merge.
from mergedeep import merge, Strategy
dst = {"key": [1, 2]}
src = {"key": {3, 4}}
merge(dst, src, strategy=Strategy.TYPESAFE_ADDITIVE)
# TypeError: destination type: <class 'list'> differs from source type: <class 'set'> for key: "key"
```
