compare values of any type for equility
With your favorite package manager:
then in your app:
var equal = require('equals')
equal
takes as many arguments as you like of any type you like and returns a boolean result. Primitive types are equal if they are ===
. While composite types, i.e. Objects and Arrays, are considered equal if they have both the same structure and each sub-value is also equal
. Circular references in composite structures are supported.
Same structure:
equal(
{ a : [ 2, 3 ], b : [ 4 ] },
{ a : [ 2, 3 ], b : [ 4 ] }
) // => true
Different Structure:
equal(
{ x : 5, y : [6] },
{ x : 5}
) // => false
Same structure, different values:
equal(
{ a: [ 1, 2 ], b : [ 4 ]},
{ a: [ 2, 3 ], b : [ 4 ]}
) // => false
Primitives:
equal(new Date(0), new Date(1)) // => false
Some possible gotchas:
null
