Compare primitives the right way (using `<`, `>` and `==`)
npm install comparecompare> Compare primitives the right way (using <, > and ==)
This module does the right thing with numbers and ascii strings.
Normally String.prototype.localeCompare is recommended for strings,
but that can have nasty side effects on some machines, eg.
``js`
'cu'.localeCompare('cs', 'hu')
Compare the above in stock node (which doesn't come with Intl) andIntl
a browser of your choice (which most likely has support).
`js
var compare = require('compare')
[1, 2, 10].sort() // [1, 10, 2]
[1, 2, 10].sort(compare) // [1, 2, 10]
// Below is sorted correctly according to Hungarian, but runtimes without Intl
// support will reorder them
['cu', 'cs'].sort((a, b) => a.localeCompare(b, 'hu'))
['cu', 'cs'].sort(compare) // This will always sort the same
`
Standard Array.prototype.sort(cmp) function signature. If a > b return 1,a < b
if return -1, otherwise return 0
Thanks to hughsk for the npm name!
