Usage

$3

- Method: compareObjectVals

- Parameters: toCompareVals: [Object[], Object[]], key?: string|string[]

- Returns: { createdVals: Object[]|null, updatedVals: Object[]|null, deletedVals: Object[]|null }

- Provides: Created, Updated, and Deleted values (via separate arrays) from comparing two arrays of objects.
- It is recommended to provide a related unique key (i.e. primary key on data) between the objects to be compared using the compareObjectVals function. A single or composite (several keys) key can be provided in an array for relatedObjectKey.
- Without giving a related key, the algorithm traverses every single key in each provided object looking for when a single object key is matched along with a value with equivalence between the matching found key.
- The values of the returned created, updated, or deleted arrays from compareObjectVals / compareArrayVals functions will be null if they do not exist.

`js
const originalArrayOfObjects = [{ one: 1, two: 2 }, { test: undefined }];
const newArrayOfObjects = [{ one: 1, two: null }, { one: 22, five: 5 }]
const relatedObjectKey = 'one';

const { createdVals, updatedVals, deletedVals } = compareObjectVals(
[originalArrayOfObjects, newArrayOfObjects],
relatedObjectKey // Not required, but suggested for speed.
);

console.log(createdVals); // [{ one: 22, five: 5 }]
console.log(updatedVals); // [{ one: 1, two: null }]
console.log(deletedVals); // [{ test: undefined }]
`

$3

- Method: compareArrayVals

- Parameters: toCompareVals: [any[], any[]]

- Returns: { createdVals: any[] | null, deletedVals: any[] | null }

- Provides: Created and Deleted values between two arrays of primitives (strings, numbers, etc.) using the compareArrayVals function.

`js
const originalArrayItem = [1, 2, 'five', true, 33];
const updatedArrayItem = [1, 'seven', true, 33];

const { createdVals, deletedVals } = compareArrayVals(
[ originalArrayItem, updatedArrayItem ]
);
console.log(createdVals); // ['seven']
console.log(deletedVals); // [2, 'five']
`

isEqualObject(a: Object, b: Object): Boolean

isEqualArray(a: any[], b: any[]): Boolean

- Deep Object and Array comparing helper functions are provided for quick equivalence checks using the isEqualObject or isEqualArray functions. *Note: Object.is() is used for primative data type comparison checks.

`js
const obj1 = {a: 1, b: 2, c: {'one': 1, 'two': [{ 2: 1, 44:3 }]}};
const obj2 = {a: 1, b: 2, c: {'one': 1, 'two': [{ 2: 1, 44:3 }]}};
const areObjectsEquivalent = isEqualObject(obj1, obj2); // true
`

`js
const array1 = [Symbol('33')];
const array2 = ['one', 'two'];
const areArraysEquivalent = isEqualArray(array1, array2); // false
``

Todo

- [ ] Add more tests for edge cases.
- [ ] Update prettier and fix the linter.
- [ ] Get the Google Closure Compiler working w/ the advanced compile setting, and fix types in the code to reach ~99%.
