# dequal [![CI](https://github.com/lukeed/dequal/workflows/CI/badge.svg)](https://github.com/lukeed/dequal/actions)

> A tiny (304B to 489B) utility to check for deep equality

This module supports comparison of all types, including `Function`, `RegExp`, `Date`, `Set`, `Map`, `TypedArray`s, `DataView`, `null`, `undefined`, and `NaN` values. Complex values (eg, Objects, Arrays, Sets, Maps, etc) are traversed recursively.

> **Important:**
> * key order **within Objects** does not matter
> * value order **within Arrays** _does_ matter
> * values **within Sets and Maps** use value equality
> * keys **within Maps** use value equality


## Install

```
$ npm install --save dequal
```

## Usage

```js
import { dequal } from 'dequal';

dequal(1, 1); //=> true
dequal({}, {}); //=> true
dequal('foo', 'foo'); //=> true
dequal([1, 2, 3], [1, 2, 3]); //=> true
dequal(dequal, dequal); //=> true
dequal(/foo/, /foo/); //=> true
dequal(null, null); //=> true
dequal(NaN, NaN); //=> true
dequal([], []); //=> true
dequal(
  [{ a:1 }, [{ b:{ c:[1] } }]],
  [{ a:1 }, [{ b:{ c:[1] } }]]
); //=> true

dequal(1, '1'); //=> false
dequal(null, undefined); //=> false
dequal({ a:1, b:[2,3] }, { a:1, b:[2,5] }); //=> false
dequal(/foo/i, /bar/g); //=> false
```

## API

### dequal(foo, bar)
Returns: `Boolean`

Both `foo` and `bar` can be of any type.<br>
A `Boolean` is returned indicating if the two were deeply equal.


## Benchmarks

> Running Node v10.13.0

The benchmarks can be found in the [`/bench`](/bench) directory. They are separated into two categories:

* `basic` – compares an object comprised of `String`, `Number`, `Date`, `Array`, and `Object` values.
* `complex` – like `basic`, but adds `RegExp`, `Map`, `Set`, and `Uint8Array` values.

> **Note:** Only candidates that pass validation step(s) are listed. <br>For example, `fast-deep-equal/es6` handles `Set` and `Map` values, but uses _referential equality_ while those listed use _value equality_.
