# equals | ||
Check if two values are equivalent. This is a deep equivalence check so if an object has other objects on it properties they must also be equivalent in order for the overall comparison to hold. | ||
compare values of any complexity for equivalence | ||
## Getting Started | ||
With component(1) | ||
_With [component](//github.com/component/component), [packin](//github.com/jkroso/packin) or [npm](//github.com/isaacs/npm)_ | ||
`component install jkroso/equals --save` | ||
$ {package mananger} install jkroso/equals | ||
In Node.js | ||
then in your app: | ||
`npm install equals --save` | ||
```js | ||
var equals = require('equals') | ||
``` | ||
A pre-built browser version is also [available](https://raw.github.com/jkroso/equals/master/dist/equals.min.js). It exports the global variable equal. | ||

## deepEqual() | ||
### equals(...) | ||
Primitive types are equal if they represent the same value. | ||
While composite types, i.e. Objects and Arrays, are considered | ||
equal if their structure is the same, i.e. they have the same set of | ||
properties, and the primitive type bound to each property has the | ||
same value. Composite structures can be nested preactically as deep | ||
as you like and circular references are fine | ||
Same structure: | ||
equals takes as many arguments as you like of any type you like and returns a boolean result. Primitive types are equal if they are equal. While composite types, i.e. Objects and Arrays, are considered equal if they have both the same structure and the same content. Specifically that means the same set of keys each pointing to the same values. Composite structures can be as big as you like and and circular references are perfectly safe. | ||

Some possible gotchas: | ||
- null is __not__ equal to undefined | ||
- NaN __is__ equal to NaN (normally not the case in JS) | ||
- -0 is equal to +0 | ||
- Strings will __not__ coerce to numbers | ||
- Non enumerable properties will not be checked. (They can't be) Though | ||
special exceptions are made for `length` and `constructor` properties | ||
since many common patterns make these normally non-enumerable properties | ||
enumerable | ||
- Arguments objects may differ on callee though this property is | ||
non-enumerable so will not be considered. Usually this is the desired | ||
behavior though so no special case has been made for it. | ||

## objEquiv() | ||
### compare(a, b) | ||
If you already know your values are non-primitive you can save | ||
processing time by calling `equal.object` directly. | ||
```js | ||
equals.object( | ||
{0:'first', 1: 'second', length:2}, | ||
['first', 'second'] | ||
) // => true | ||
``` | ||
compare two values. | ||
For objects equivalence is determined by having the same number of | ||
enumerable properties, the same set of keys, and equivalent values for | ||
every key. | ||
Note: `length` is always checked even if it isn't enumerable while | ||
`constructor` is never checked: | ||
```js | ||
equals([], {length:0}) // => true` | ||
equals([], {}) // => false` | ||
equals.compare({}, {}) // => true | ||
``` | ||
Also note that inherited properties are compared | ||
## Running the tests | ||
## allEqual() | ||
Check that a sequence of values are equal | ||
```js | ||
equal.all(1,1,1,1) // => true | ||
``` | ||
## make() | ||
Create a custom version of this module | ||
properties matching `regex` will be excluded | ||
## Contributing | ||
As with all my work this is both a work in progress and a thought in progress. Feel free to chip in in any way you can. Optimisations are welcome so long as they are supported with benchmarks. | ||
