deep-equals

Node.js module that compares objects

This does exactly what it says on the tin. It deep-compares objects, and returns what a javascript beginner would expect objectA === objectB to return

INSTALL

In your repository, run:

npm install --save deep-equals

USE

In your code:

const deepEquals = require ( 'deep-equals' );

const objectA = {
    a: 'b',
    c: {
        d: 'e',
        f: {
            g: [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ],
            h: new Date ( 0 ),
            i: 3
        }
    }
};

const objectB = {
    a: 'b',
    c: {
        d: 'e',
        f: {
            g: [ 1, 2, 3, 5, 4 ],
            h: new Date ( 0 ),
            i: 3
        }
    }
};

if ( deepEquals ( objectA, objectB ) ) {
    console.log ( 'They are the same' );
} else {
    console.log ( 'They are not the same' );
}

Do note that deep-equals treats array order as insignificant, as demonstrated in the example above.
