Deep diff two JavaScript Objects
A small library that can deep diff two JavaScript Objects, including nested structures of arrays and objects.
Installation
yarn add deep-object-diff
npm i --save deep-object-diff
Functions available:
-
diff(originalObj, updatedObj)
returns the difference of the original and updated objects -
addedDiff(original, updatedObj)
returns only the values added to the updated object -
deletedDiff(original, updatedObj)
returns only the values deleted in the updated object -
updatedDiff(original, updatedObj)
returns only the values that have been changed in the updated object -
detailedDiff(original, updatedObj)
returns an object with the added, deleted and updated differences
Importing
ES6 / Babel:
import { diff, addedDiff, deletedDiff, updatedDiff, detailedDiff } from 'deep-object-diff';
ES5:
const { diff, addedDiff, deletedDiff, detailedDiff, updatedDiff } = require("deep-object-diff");
// OR
const diff = require("deep-object-diff").diff;
const addedDiff = require("deep-object-diff").addedDiff;
const deletedDiff = require("deep-object-diff").deletedDiff;
const detailedDiff = require("deep-object-diff").detailedDiff;
const updatedDiff = require("deep-object-diff").updatedDiff;
Usage:
diff:
const lhs = {
foo: {
bar: {
a: ['a', 'b'],
b: 2,
c: ['x', 'y'],
e: 100 // deleted
}
},
buzz: 'world'
};
const rhs = {
foo: {
bar: {
a: ['a'], // index 1 ('b') deleted
b: 2, // unchanged
c: ['x', 'y', 'z'], // 'z' added
d: 'Hello, world!' // added
}
},
buzz: 'fizz' // updated
};
console.log(diff(lhs, rhs)); // =>
/*
{
foo: {
bar: {
a: {
'1': undefined
},
c: {
'2': 'z'
},
d: 'Hello, world!',
e: undefined
}
},
buzz: 'fizz'
}
