hyperdiff

Find common, removed and added element between two collections.

Install

$ npm install hyperdiff --save

Usage

Using a flat Array:

const diff = require('hyperdiff')

var result = diff(
  [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6],
  [1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 0, 9, 10]
)

console.log(result)

// {
//   added: [ 0, 9, 10 ],
//   removed: [ 3 ],
//   common: [ 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 ]
// }

Using an Array of Object's (in this case you need to provide the unique id):

const diff = require('hyperdiff')
var result = diff(
  [
    {id: 1, name: 'a'},
    {id: 2, name: 'b'},
    {id: 3, name: 'c'},
    {id: 4, name: 'd'},
    {id: 5, name: 'e'}
  ],
  [
    {id: 1, name: 'a'},
    {id: 2, name: 'b'},
    {id: 7, name: 'e'}
  ],
  'id'
)

console.log(result)
// {
//   added: [ { id: 7, name: 'e' } ],
//   removed: [ { id: 3, name: 'c' }, { id: 4, name: 'd' }, { id: 5, name: 'e' } ],
//   common: [ { id: 1, name: 'a' }, { id: 2, name: 'b' } ]
// }

It's also support multiple properties as id or provide a function.
