Here is a simple way to copy an array, which contains primitive data types like string and integer, by value in Javascript.

var myArray = ['eureka', 30, true];
var clone = myArray.slice(0);

myArray[1] = 100;
console.log(myArray[1]); // output: 100
console.log(clone[1]);   // output: 30

But if myArray contains objects, those objects will be copied by reference. So if you really want to have a deep copy method, add the following clone function to Array.prototype.

Array.prototype.clone = function() {
  return this.slice(0);
};

Now you could make a copy by.

var myArray = ['eureka', 30, true];
var realClone = myArray.clone();
