# safe-object-assign
Sensible wrapper for `Object.assign()`.
## Documentation
`Object.assign()` can return surprising results when a value to be modified is not an object.
The point of `safe-object-assign` is to allow users to pass anything,
1. without blowing up,
2. retain the initial value if it is not an object or array,
3. obtain a modified copy of the initial object or array to be updated,
4. mixing only objects or arrays into the new model.
