deepEqual

Test for deep equality between two values.

Usage

var deepEqual = require( '@stdlib/assert/deep-equal' );

deepEqual( a, b )

Returns a boolean indicating if a is deep equal to b.

var bool = deepEqual( [ 1, 2, 3 ], [ 1, 2, 3 ] );
// returns true

bool = deepEqual( [ 1, 2, 3 ], [ 1, 2, '3' ] );
// returns false

bool = deepEqual( { 'a': 2 }, { 'a': [ 2 ] } );
// returns false

Notes

• The function uses strict equality checks (===) and does not perform any type coercion.
• When given two objects, only enumerable own properties are recursively compared.

Examples

var deepEqual = require( '@stdlib/assert/deep-equal' );
var bool;
var a;
var b;

a = [ true, false, true ];
b = [ true, false, true ];
bool = deepEqual( a, b );
// returns true

b.pop();
bool = deepEqual( a, b );
// returns false

a = { 'a': { 'b': { 'c': 'd' } } };
b = { 'a': { 'b': { 'c': 'd' } } };
bool = deepEqual( a, b );
// returns true

b.a.b.c = null;
bool = deepEqual( a, b );
// returns false

a = { 'a': [ { 'b': 0 }, { 'c': 1 } ] };
b = { 'a': [ { 'b': 0 }, { 'c': 1 } ] };
bool = deepEqual( a, b );
// returns true

b = { 'a': [ { 'b': [ 0 ] }, { 'c': '1' } ] };
bool = deepEqual( a, b );
// returns false
