obj-subset

Determine if one object is a subset of another object in node and the browser. Also works on arrays.

A large portion of this code was lifted from chai-subset.

Installation

npm:

$ npm install obj-subset

API

isSubset(original, subset, [strict])

Returns true if original contains all of the properties and values of subset, otherwise returns false. strict is set to true by default. Setting to false will allow lenient equality comparisons (== vs ===);

Usage

var isSubset = require('obj-subset');

var users = [{
    id: '1234',
    name: 'Foo',
    email: '[email protected]'
},
{
    id: '5678',
    name: 'Foo',
    email: '[email protected]'
}];

var lookUp = {
    name: 'Foo',
    email: '[email protected]'
};

isSubset(users[0], lookUp); // returns `false`
isSubset(users[1], lookUp); // returns `true`
