Creating a snapshot of select state
This pattern creates a complete snapshot of a select element's state. Use cases include: 1) Saving state for undo/redo functionality, 2) Comparing before/after states for change detection, 3) Serializing select state for storage or transmission, 4) Creating a backup before making changes, 5) Deep cloning of select state including custom data attributes. The spread operator on dataset ensures all custom data attributes are captured, making this pattern comprehensive for state management.
