similar-js

A rich, modern and optimistic Javascript library to different datatype deep comparison, validation and model generation

Install Package from npm register npm install -S similar-js

Import function for comparison which do deep equal on individual data not on shallow references

import { isSimilar } from "similar-js"

OR

import similarJs from "similar-js" 
similarJs.isSimilar(a, b)

then compare any two value, here is one example:

console.log(isSimilar("str", "int")); // false
console.log(isSimilar("string", "string")); // true
console.log(isSimilar("str", 10)); // false
console.log(isSimilar(10, 10)); // true
console.log(isSimilar({}, null)); // false
console.log(isSimilar({ env: "dev" }, { env: "dev" })); // true
console.log(isSimilar({ env: "dev" }, { env: "prod", "debug": false })); // false
console.log(isSimilar(undefined, [1])); // false
console.log(isSimilar([10, 20, 300], [20, 10])) // false
console.log(isSimilar([10, 20, 300], [20, 10, 40])) // false

Meta object optional third parameter for custom comparison for deep equal (with default value)

1. exactObject = true - this allows lazy equal when we set as false example one object may have more property than another object but it should include all the property of another object. other wise both are exactly should have same number property and value
2. exactArray = true - this allows lazy equal when we set as false example one array may have more item than another another but it should include all the item of another array. other wise both are exactly should have same number items and value
3. swapCompObject = true (swapComparisonObject) - by default we are allowing to interchange passing arrgument to compare objects. example if you call isSimilar function with first argument as "A" and second argument as "B", while comparision this can be interchangeable for better comparison so it could inverted first argument as "B" then second as "A". while setting this as "false" we can restrict this inversion.
4. swapCompArray = true (swapComparisonArray) - by default we are allowing to interchange passing arrgument to compare objects. example if you call isSimilar function with first argument as "A" and second argument as "B", while comparision this can be interchangeable for better comparison so it could inverted first argument as "B" then second as "A". while setting this as "false" we can restrict this inversion.

Example with meta arguments:

console.log(isSimilar([1, 2, 3], [2, 1], { exactArray: false })); // true, because all the items in minimum length (second argument) array present in another array (first argument).

console.log(isSimilar([1, 2, 3], [2, 1], { exactArray: true })); // false, because all the items in minimum length (second argument) array present in another array (first argument). since meta option exactArray: true ensure that array should have same no.of item in both array and all of them should be equest may be order of elem may be changes

console.log(isSimilar([1, 2, 3], [2, 1], { exactArray: false, swapCompArray: false })); // false, because all the items in minimum length (second argument) array present in another array (first argument). since meta option swapCompArray: false ensure that base array should be the first argument itself so items present in first arg was not present in second argument

console.log(isSimilar([11, 3], [21, 1, 3, 11], { swapCompArray: false, exactArray: false })); // true, because all the items in first argument array (which has lesser items in array, lesser array item will takes as base array for comparision) are present in second argument array.

console.log(isSimilar([21, 1, 3, 11], [11, 3], { swapCompArray: false, exactArray: false })); // false, because all the items in first argument array (because swapCompArray: false, so first argument always taken for base comparator) are not present in second argument array.

console.log(isSimilar({ name: "mahe" }, {}, { exactObject: false, swapCompObject: false })); // false, because second argument object atleast should include all the property of first argument object.

console.log(isSimilar({ name: "mahe" }, {}, { exactObject: false })); // true, since swap of argument possible due to default "swapCompObject as true" option so second argument has the minimum property than first then it means another object (first argument) has all the property of seconf argument object so it return true.

console.log(isSimilar({ name: "mahe", school: "ICSA", "class": "10" }, { name: "mahe", school: "ICSA" }, { exactObject: true })); // false


console.log(isSimilar({ env: "dev" }, { env: "dev", "debug": true }, { exactObject: false })); //  true, because { exactObject: false }

console.log(isSimilar([10, 20, 300], [20, 10], { exactArray: false })) //  true, because {exactArray: false}

console.log(isSimilar({ name: "mahe", school: "ICSA", "class": "10" }, { name: "mahe", school: "ICSA", "class": "10" })); // true, default meta options value is { exactObject: true, exactArray: true, swapCompObject: true, swapCompArray: true }

console.log(isSimilar({ name: "mahe", school: "ICSA", "class": "10" }, { name: "mahe", "class": "10" })); // false, default meta options value is { exactObject: true, exactArray: true, swapCompObject: true, swapCompArray: true } so exactObject: true condition got failed

For deep complex object comparision which includes object of objects, array of objects, araya of array, and so on.
