Equality

A little utility for testing equality

Install

sudo npm install equality

Test

git clone git://github.com/apeace/equality.git
cd equality
sudo npm install
vows test/* --spec

Examples

var equality = require( 'equality' );

// deep
var A = { a: { b: 'c' }, d: { e: 'f' } },
    B = { a: { b: 'c' }, d: { e: 'f' } },
    C = { x: 10, y: { e: 'f' } };

equality.deep( A, B );     // ==> true
equality.deep( B, C );     // ==> false
equality.deep( A.d, C.y ); // ==> true

// deeper!
var X = { a: A, b: B, c: C },
    Y = { a: A, b: B, c: C },
    Z = { a: C, b: A, c: B };

equality.deep( X, Y );     // ==> true
equality.deep( Y, Z );     // ==> false
equality.deep( Y.b, Z.c ); // ==> true

// whoa...
var D = [ 1, 2, 3, 1 ],
    E = [ 1, 1, 3, 2 ],
    F = [ 6, 7, 8 ];

equality.members( D, E ); // ==> true
equality.members( E, F ); // ==> false

Methods

  • deep( obj1, obj2 ) tests for deep equality between two objects
  • members( arr1, arr2 ) tests whether two arrays have the same members, regardless of order
  • hash( obj ) returns a hash string that uniquely identifies the given object (based on its value)
  • type( obj1, obj2 ) tests whether the two objects have the same type

Future

Just released this real quick because I wanted it for a project. Planning on adding some more interesting methods and lots more tests. Feel free to pull request, of course.
