const obj1 = {
  a: 1,
  c: {
    a: 11,
    d: {}
  }
}
const obj2 = {
  a: 1,
  c: {
    a: 11,
    d: {}
  }
}
expect(objectEquals(obj1, obj2)).toEqual(true)

Options

depth

• Level of deep comparison, after which no deep comparison is done

  const obj1 = {
    a: 1,
    b: {
      c: '2'
    }
  }
  const obj2 = {
    a: 1,
    b: {
      c: '3'
    }
  }
  expect(objectEquals(obj1, obj2)).toEqual(false)
  expect(objectEquals(obj1, obj2, {depth: 1})).toEqual(true)
  expect(objectEquals(obj1, obj2, {depth: 2})).toEqual(false)

keysOnly

• if true, only keys will be compared irrespective of the values

  const obj1 = {
    a: 1,
    b: {
      c: '2'
    }
  }
  const obj2 = {
    a: 1,
    b: {
      c: '3'
    }
  }
  expect(objectEquals(obj1, obj2)).toEqual(false)
  expect(objectEquals(obj1, obj2, {keysOnly: true})).toEqual(true)

valuesOnly

• if true, only values will be compared irrespective of the keys

  const obj1 = {
    a: 1,
    b: {
      c: '2'
    }
  }
  const obj2 = {
    aaa: 1,
    bbbb: {
      cccc: '2'
    }
  }
  expect(objectEquals(obj1, obj2)).toEqual(false)
  expect(objectEquals(obj1, obj2, {valuesOnly: true})).toEqual(true)
