Object difference js

objectDiff

Usage

objectDiff will get the extra and different properties of the first object

ex.

objectDiff(
  {
    steel: {
      sword: {
        weight: 20
      }
    }
  },
  {
    steel: {
      train: {
        contains: "coal"
      }
    }
  });

yields

  {
    steel: {
      sword: {
        weight: 20
      }
    }
  }

because all the stuff in a is not in b (this diff shows extra or different, only for the first object). You can get the same for the second object by reversing the order in your call

if two objects are are the same, objectDiff yields undefined

ex.

  objectDiff({}, {}) === undefined //true

more examples.

  objectDiff(
  {
    steel: {
      sword:{
        weight: 10
      },
      train: {
        hasCoal: true
      }
    }
  },
  {
    steel: {
      sword: {
        weight: 10
      }
    }
  });

yields

{
  steel: {
    train: {
      hasCoal: true
    }
  }
}

because the first object is only different in the path steel.train.hasCoal
