[npm]: https://www.npmjs.org/package/value-equal

value-equal determines if two JavaScript values are equal using Object.prototype.valueOf.

In many instances when I'm checking for object equality, what I really want to know is if their values are equal. This is good for:

- Stuff you keep in localStorage
- window.history.state values
- Query strings

Installation

Using npm:

$ npm install --save value-equal

Then with a module bundler like webpack, use as you would anything else:

``js
// using ES6 modules
import valueEqual from 'value-equal';

// using CommonJS modules
var valueEqual = require('value-equal');
`

The UMD build is also available on unpkg:

`html

`

You can find the library on window.valueEqual.

Usage

`js
valueEqual(1, 1); // true
valueEqual('asdf', 'asdf'); // true
valueEqual('asdf', new String('asdf')); // true
valueEqual(true, true); // true
valueEqual(true, false); // false
valueEqual({ a: 'a' }, { a: 'a' }); // true
valueEqual({ a: 'a' }, { a: 'b' }); // false
valueEqual([1, 2, 3], [1, 2, 3]); // true
valueEqual([1, 2, 3], [2, 3, 4]); // false
``

That's it. Enjoy!
