The 'object-is' npm package provides a utility function for comparing two values, determining if they are the same value. This is particularly useful for edge cases in JavaScript comparisons, such as NaN, +0, and -0, where traditional equality checks (== or ===) might fail or not behave as expected.

What are object-is's main functionalities?

Exact equality comparison

This feature allows for the comparison of two values to determine if they are exactly the same, including more accurate handling of special JavaScript cases like NaN and +/-0.

const objectIs = require('object-is');
console.log(objectIs('foo', 'foo')); // true
console.log(objectIs(window, window)); // true
console.log(objectIs('foo', 'bar')); // false
console.log(objectIs(0, -0)); // false
console.log(objectIs(NaN, NaN)); // true

object-is

ES2015-compliant shim for Object.is - differentiates between -0 and +0, and can compare to NaN.

Essentially, Object.is returns the same value as === - but true for NaN, and false for -0 and +0.

This package implements the es-shim API interface. It works in an ES3-supported environment and complies with the spec.

Example

Object.is = require('object-is');
var assert = require('assert');

assert.ok(Object.is());
assert.ok(Object.is(undefined));
assert.ok(Object.is(undefined, undefined));
assert.ok(Object.is(null, null));
assert.ok(Object.is(true, true));
assert.ok(Object.is(false, false));
assert.ok(Object.is('foo', 'foo'));

var arr = [1, 2];
assert.ok(Object.is(arr, arr));
assert.equal(Object.is(arr, [1, 2]), false);

assert.ok(Object.is(0, 0));
assert.ok(Object.is(-0, -0));
assert.equal(Object.is(0, -0), false);

assert.ok(Object.is(NaN, NaN));
assert.ok(Object.is(Infinity, Infinity));
assert.ok(Object.is(-Infinity, -Infinity));
