js comparing two arrays code example

Example 1: javascript difference between two arrays

let difference = arr1.filter(x => !arr2.includes(x));

Example 2: javascript compare two arrays of objects get same elements

var result = result1.filter(function (o1) {
    return result2.some(function (o2) {
        return o1.id === o2.id; // return the ones with equal id
   });
});
// if you want to be more clever...
let result = result1.filter(o1 => result2.some(o2 => o1.id === o2.id));

Example 3: how to compare two arrays javascript

function arraysAreIdentical(arr1, arr2){
    if (arr1.length !== arr2.length) return false;
    for (var i = 0, len = arr1.length; i < len; i++){
        if (arr1[i] !== arr2[i]){
            return false;
        }
    }
    return true; 
}

Example 4: compare arrays javascript

// For regular 1D array
const array1 = [1,2,3,4]
const array2 = [1,2,3,4]

array1.join() === array2.join()
// '1,2,3,4' === '1,2,3,4'

// For anything more complex
const array3 = [1,2,3,[1,2,3]]
const array4 = [1,2,3,[1,2,3]]

JSON.stringify(array3) === JSON.stringify(array4)
