swk-compare

Description

A simple library to assist with validating data by comparing it to an expectation

How To Use

var similair = compare(myValue, myExpectation);

myValue in the example above can be any of the following:

• a scalar value (i.e. integer, string, boolean)
• an array
• an object
• a function

myExpectation can contain the same

The comparison uses like for like:

var similar = compare("a", "a"); // true
var similar = compare("a", "b"); // false

or it can use a validation function:

var similar = compare("a", function (context) {
    return context === "a");
});// true

The comparison is recursive, so it will work with deeply nested structures

var similar = compare(
    [1, 2, 3, {"foo": {"bar": {"baz": function () { return true; }}}}],
    [1, 2, 3, {"foo": {"bar": {"baz": function (f) { return f() === true; }}}}]
); // true
