fast-deep-equal

The fastest deep equal with ES6 Map, Set and Typed arrays support.

# Install

npm install fast-deep-equal

# Features

- ES5 compatible
- works in node.js (8+) and browsers (IE9+)
- checks equality of Date and RegExp objects by value.

ES6 equal (‘require('fast-deep-equal/es6’)`) also supports:

- Maps
- Sets
- Typed arrays

# Usage

var equal = require('fast-deep-equal');
console.log(equal({foo: 'bar'}, {foo: 'bar'})); // true

To support ES6 Maps, Sets and Typed arrays equality use:

var equal = require('fast-deep-equal/es6');
console.log(equal(Int16Array([1, 2]), Int16Array([1, 2]))); // true

To use with React (avoiding the traversal of React elements' _owner property that contains circular references and is not needed when comparing the elements - borrowed from react-fast-compare):

var equal = require('fast-deep-equal/react');
var equal = require('fast-deep-equal/es6/react');
