OVERVIEW:

compareobj is a script for comparing javascript objects. To my knowledge, it is most useful for writing unit tests and for comparing static json files that would used for web applications.

INSTALL:

compareobj may be downloaded directly or installed through npm.

• npm

$ npm install compareobj

• Direct Download

$ git clone https://github.com/iambumblehead/compareobj.git

TEST:

to run tests, use npm test from a shell.

$ npm test

<a id=usage">USAGE:

compare two objects to see if they have definition for the same members

var CompareObj = require('../compareobj'); CompareObj.isSameMembersDefinedObj({ prop1 : true, prop2 : { prop2a : { prop2a1 : true } }
}, { prop1 : true, prop2 : { prop2a : {} }
}); // false

> ```javascript
var CompareObj = require('../compareobj');
CompareObj.isSameMembersDefinedObj({
   prop1 : true,
   prop2 : {
     prop2a : {
       prop2a1 : true
     }
   }   
}, {
   prop1 : true,
   prop2 : {
     prop2a : {
       prop2a1 : true
     }
   }   
}); // true

isSameMembers will also accept a callback

var CompareObj = require('../compareobj'); CompareObj.isSameMembersDefinedSameObj({ prop1 : true, prop2 : { prop2a : { prop2a1 : true, prop2a2 : true } }
}, { prop1 : true, prop2 : { prop2a : {} }
}, function (type, propertyName) { console.log(type, propertyName); }); // child prop2 // property prop2a2

compare two objects to see if they have the _same_ definition for the given members of the first object.

> ```javascript
var CompareObj = require('../compareobj');
CompareObj.isSameMembersDefinedObj({
   prop1 : true,
   prop2 : {
     prop2a : {
       prop2a1 : true
     }
   }   
}, {
   prop1 : true,
   prop2 : {
     prop2a : {
       prop2a1 : true
     }
   }   
}); // true

var CompareObj = require('../compareobj'); CompareObj.isSameMembersDefinedObj({ prop1 : true, prop2 : { prop2a : { prop2a1 : true } }
}, { prop1 : true, prop2 : { prop2a : { prop2a1 : false } }
}); // false
