Typescript-compatible minimalistic shallow equality check for arrays/objects
npm install shallow-equalIf you know you have two arrays or two objects in hand, and you want to know if they are shallowly equal or not, this library is for you.
- Super light
- No dependencies
- Thoroughly tested
``shell`
npm install shallow-equal --save
orshell`
yarn add shallow-equal
`js
import { shallowEqualArrays } from "shallow-equal";
shallowEqualArrays([1, 2, 3], [1, 2, 3]); // => true
shallowEqualArrays([{ a: 5 }], [{ a: 5 }]); // => false
`
`js
import { shallowEqualObjects } from "shallow-equal";
shallowEqualObjects({ a: 5, b: "abc" }, { a: 5, b: "abc" }); // => true
shallowEqualObjects({ a: 5, b: {} }, { a: 5, b: {} }); // => false
`
You can also use the generic form, shallowEqual. But note that it does runtime type checking in order to decide whether it's comparing arrays or objects, so the convenience comes with a runtime penalty.`js
import { shallowEqual } from "shallow-equal";
shallowEqual([1, 2, 3], [1, 2, 3]); // => true
shallowEqual({ a: 5, b: {} }, { a: 5, b: {} }); // => false
