这是基于@JLavoie，使用lodash

let differences = function (newObj, oldObj) {
      return _.reduce(newObj, function (result, value, key) {
        if (!_.isEqual(value, oldObj[key])) {
          if (_.isArray(value)) {
            result[key] = []
            _.forEach(value, function (innerObjFrom1, index) {
              if (_.isNil(oldObj[key][index])) {
                result[key].push(innerObjFrom1)
              } else {
                let changes = differences(innerObjFrom1, oldObj[key][index])
                if (!_.isEmpty(changes)) {
                  result[key].push(changes)
                }
              }
            })
          } else if (_.isObject(value)) {
            result[key] = differences(value, oldObj[key])
          } else {
            result[key] = value
          }
        }
        return result
      }, {})
    }

下面是一个使用Lodash的简单解决方案:

_.differenceWith(a, b, _.isEqual);

注意，两个输入都需要是数组(可能是一个对象的数组)。

如果你需要知道哪些属性是不同的，使用reduce():

_.reduce(a, function(result, value, key) {
    return _.isEqual(value, b[key]) ?
        result : result.concat(key);
}, []);
// → [ "prop2" ]

我需要知道它们的某个嵌套属性是否不同

其他答案为这个问题提供了可能令人满意的解决方案，但它非常困难和常见，似乎有一个非常受欢迎的包来帮助解决这个问题。

要使用这个包，你需要npm i deep-object-diff，然后:

const { diff } = require('deep-object-diff');
var a = {};
var b = {};

a.prop1 = 2;
a.prop2 = { prop3: 2 };

b.prop1 = 2;
b.prop2 = { prop3: 3 };

if (!_.isEqual(a, b)) {
  const abDiff = diff(a, b);
  console.log(abDiff);
  /*
  {
    prop2: {
      prop3: 3
    }
  }
  */
}

// or alternatively
const abDiff = diff(a, b);
if(!_.isEmpty(abDiff)) {
  // if a diff exists then they aren't deeply equal
  // perform needed actions with diff...
}

下面是一个更详细的案例，直接从他们的文档中删除属性:

const lhs = {
  foo: {
    bar: {
      a: ['a', 'b'],
      b: 2,
      c: ['x', 'y'],
      e: 100 // deleted
    }
  },
  buzz: 'world'
};

const rhs = {
  foo: {
    bar: {
      a: ['a'], // index 1 ('b')  deleted
      b: 2, // unchanged
      c: ['x', 'y', 'z'], // 'z' added
      d: 'Hello, world!' // added
    }
  },
  buzz: 'fizz' // updated
};

console.log(diff(lhs, rhs)); // =>
/*
{
  foo: {
    bar: {
      a: {
        '1': undefined
      },
      c: {
        '2': 'z'
      },
      d: 'Hello, world!',
      e: undefined
    }
  },
  buzz: 'fizz'
}
*/

As it was asked, here's a recursive object comparison function. And a bit more. Assuming that primary use of such function is object inspection, I have something to say. Complete deep comparison is a bad idea when some differences are irrelevant. For example, blind deep comparison in TDD assertions makes tests unnecessary brittle. For that reason, I'd like to introduce a much more valuable partial diff. It is a recursive analogue of a previous contribution to this thread. It ignores keys not present in a

var bdiff = (a, b) =>
    _.reduce(a, (res, val, key) =>
        res.concat((_.isPlainObject(val) || _.isArray(val)) && b
            ? bdiff(val, b[key]).map(x => key + '.' + x) 
            : (!b || val != b[key] ? [key] : [])),
        []);

BDiff允许检查期望值，同时容忍其他属性，这正是您想要的自动检查。这允许构建各种高级断言。例如:

var diff = bdiff(expected, actual);
// all expected properties match
console.assert(diff.length == 0, "Objects differ", diff, expected, actual);
// controlled inequality
console.assert(diff.length < 3, "Too many differences", diff, expected, actual);

回到完整的解决方案。使用bdiff构建一个完整的传统diff是很简单的:

function diff(a, b) {
    var u = bdiff(a, b), v = bdiff(b, a);
    return u.filter(x=>!v.includes(x)).map(x=>' < ' + x)
    .concat(u.filter(x=>v.includes(x)).map(x=>' | ' + x))
    .concat(v.filter(x=>!u.includes(x)).map(x=>' > ' + x));
};

在两个复杂对象上运行上述函数将输出类似于下面的内容:

 [
  " < components.0.components.1.components.1.isNew",
  " < components.0.cryptoKey",
  " | components.0.components.2.components.2.components.2.FFT.min",
  " | components.0.components.2.components.2.components.2.FFT.max",
  " > components.0.components.1.components.1.merkleTree",
  " > components.0.components.2.components.2.components.2.merkleTree",
  " > components.0.components.3.FFTResult"
 ]

最后，为了了解值之间的差异，我们可能需要直接eval() diff输出。为此，我们需要一个更丑的bdiff版本，输出语法正确的路径:

// provides syntactically correct output
var bdiff = (a, b) =>
    _.reduce(a, (res, val, key) =>
        res.concat((_.isPlainObject(val) || _.isArray(val)) && b
            ? bdiff(val, b[key]).map(x => 
                key + (key.trim ? '':']') + (x.search(/^\d/)? '.':'[') + x)
            : (!b || val != b[key] ? [key + (key.trim ? '':']')] : [])),
        []);

// now we can eval output of the diff fuction that we left unchanged
diff(a, b).filter(x=>x[1] == '|').map(x=>[x].concat([a, b].map(y=>((z) =>eval('z.' + x.substr(3))).call(this, y)))));

这将输出类似于下面的内容:

[" | components[0].components[2].components[2].components[2].FFT.min", 0, 3]
[" | components[0].components[2].components[2].components[2].FFT.max", 100, 50]

我们需要在两个json更新之间获取delta，以跟踪数据库更新。也许其他人会觉得这很有用。
