Package Exports

@stdlib/assert-deep-equal

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@stdlib/assert-deep-equal) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

deepEqual

Test for deep equality between two values.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/assert-deep-equal

Usage

var deepEqual = require( '@stdlib/assert-deep-equal' );

deepEqual( a, b )

Returns a boolean indicating if a is deep equal to b.

var bool = deepEqual( [ 1, 2, 3 ], [ 1, 2, 3 ] );
// returns true

bool = deepEqual( [ 1, 2, 3 ], [ 1, 2, '3' ] );
// returns false

bool = deepEqual( { 'a': 2 }, { 'a': [ 2 ] } );
// returns false

Notes

The function uses strict equality checks (===) and does not perform any type coercion.
When given two objects, only enumerable own properties are recursively compared.

Examples

var deepEqual = require( '@stdlib/assert-deep-equal' );
var bool;
var a;
var b;

a = [ true, false, true ];
b = [ true, false, true ];
bool = deepEqual( a, b );
// returns true

b.pop();
bool = deepEqual( a, b );
// returns false

a = { 'a': { 'b': { 'c': 'd' } } };
b = { 'a': { 'b': { 'c': 'd' } } };
bool = deepEqual( a, b );
// returns true

b.a.b.c = null;
bool = deepEqual( a, b );
// returns false

a = { 'a': [ { 'b': 0 }, { 'c': 1 } ] };
b = { 'a': [ { 'b': 0 }, { 'c': 1 } ] };
bool = deepEqual( a, b );
// returns true

b = { 'a': [ { 'b': [ 0 ] }, { 'c': '1' } ] };
bool = deepEqual( a, b );
// returns false

Notice

This package is part of stdlib, a standard library for JavaScript and Node.js, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computing. The library provides a collection of robust, high performance libraries for mathematics, statistics, streams, utilities, and more.
