<function name="Merge" parent="table" type="libraryfunc"> <description> Merges the key-value pairs of the `source` table with the key-value pairs in the `destination` table. Recursively merges the key-value pairs of the `source` table with the key-value pairs in the `destination` table. See <page>table.Inherit</page>, which doesn't override existing values. See also <page>table.Add</page>, which simply adds values of one table to another. <note>This function can cause a stack overflow under certain circumstances.</note> </description> <realm>Shared and Menu</realm> <file line="85-L99">lua/includes/extensions/table.lua</file> <args> <arg name="destination" type="table">The table you want the source table to merge with</arg> <arg name="source" type="table">The table you want to merge with the destination table</arg> </args> <rets> <ret name="" type="table">Destination table</ret> </rets> </function> <example> <description>"Merges" the content of the second table with the first one, overwriting any matching key/value pairs in the destination with the source's version and prints the resulting merge.</description> <code> local destination = {[1] = "A", [2] = "Golden", [3] = "Apple"} local source = {[1] = "Two", [2] = "Orange"} table.Merge( destination, source ) PrintTable( destination ) </code> <output> ``` 1 = Two 2 = Orange 3 = Apple ``` </output> </example>
