How to concatenate properties from multiple JavaScript objects
ECMAscript 6 introduced Object.assign()
to achieve this natively in Javascript.
The Object.assign() method is used to copy the values of all enumerable own properties from one or more source objects to a target object. It will return the target object.
MDN documentation on Object.assign()
var o1 = { a: 1 };
var o2 = { b: 2 };
var o3 = { c: 3 };
var obj = Object.assign({}, o1, o2, o3);
console.log(obj); // { a: 1, b: 2, c: 3 }
Object.assign
is supported in many modern browsers but not yet all of them. Use a transpiler like Babel and Traceur to generate backwards-compatible ES5 JavaScript.
ECMAScript 6 has spread syntax. And now you can do this:
const obj1 = { 1: 11, 2: 22 };
const obj2 = { 3: 33, 4: 44 };
const obj3 = { ...obj1, ...obj2 };
console.log(obj3); // {1: 11, 2: 22, 3: 33, 4: 44}
This should do it:
function collect() {
var ret = {};
var len = arguments.length;
for (var i = 0; i < len; i++) {
for (p in arguments[i]) {
if (arguments[i].hasOwnProperty(p)) {
ret[p] = arguments[i][p];
}
}
}
return ret;
}
let a = { "one" : 1, "two" : 2 };
let b = { "three" : 3 };
let c = { "four" : 4, "five" : 5 };
let d = collect(a, b, c);
console.log(d);
Output:
{
"one": 1,
"two": 2,
"three": 3,
"four": 4,
"five": 5
}
You could use jquery's $.extend
like this:
let a = { "one" : 1, "two" : 2 },
b = { "three" : 3 },
c = { "four" : 4, "five" : 5 };
let d = $.extend({}, a, b, c)
console.log(d)

Underscore has few methods to do this;
1. _.extend(destination, *sources)
Copy all of the properties in the source objects over to the destination object, and return the destination object.
_.extend(a, _.extend(b, c));
=> {"one" : 1, "two" : 2, "three" : 3, "four" : 4, "five" : 5 }
Or
_.extend(a, b);
=> {"one" : 1, "two" : 2, "three" : 3}
_.extend(a, c);
=> {"one" : 1, "two" : 2, "three" : 3, "four" : 4, "five" : 5 }
2. _.defaults(object, *defaults)
Fill in undefined properties in object with values from the defaults objects, and return the object.
_.defaults(a, _.defaults(b, c));
=> {"one" : 1, "two" : 2, "three" : 3, "four" : 4, "five" : 5 }
Or
_.defaults(a, b);
=> {"one" : 1, "two" : 2, "three" : 3}
_.defaults(a, c);
=> {"one" : 1, "two" : 2, "three" : 3, "four" : 4, "five" : 5 }
