Return to Question

Edit: I've found a few related SO questions, such as Mapping JSON Objects to Javascript Objects as mentioned by @xmojmr. My question was specific to TypeScript and I was wondering if TypeScript had any facilities of its own that would generate the javascript to make this a non-issue. If that's not the case, and we're sure TypeScript doesn't aim to solve this class of problem, then we can regard this question as a duplicate.

My current work-around:

this.customers = response.data.map(customer => {
    return angular.copy(customer, new Customer());
});

Feels wrong to build a whole new array and copy all those fields (in my real project Customer has many more properties).
