是否有一种方法可以在JavaScript中返回两个数组之间的差异?

例如:

var a1 = ['a', 'b'];
var a2 = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'];

// need ["c", "d"]

当前回答

随着ES6的到来,带有sets和splat操作符(当时只在Firefox中工作,请检查兼容性表),你可以编写以下一行代码:

var a = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'];
var b = ['a', 'b'];
var b1 = new Set(b);
var difference = [...new Set(a.filter(x => !b1.has(x)))];

结果是["c", "d"]。

其他回答

const difference = function (baseArray, arrayToCampare, callback = (a, b) => a!== b) {
  if (!(arrayToCampare instanceof Array)) {
    return baseArray;
  }
  return baseArray.filter(baseEl =>
    arrayToCampare.every(compareEl => callback(baseEl, compareEl)));
}

下划线中的差分方法(或它的替换,Lo-Dash)也可以做到这一点:

(R)eturns the values from array that are not present in the other arrays

_.difference([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], [5, 2, 10]);
=> [1, 3, 4]

与任何下划线函数一样,你也可以以更面向对象的风格使用它:

_([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]).difference([5, 2, 10]);

我一直在寻找一个不涉及使用不同库的简单答案,我想出了我自己的答案,我想这里没有提到过。 我不知道它的效率如何,但它确实有效;

    function find_diff(arr1, arr2) {
      diff = [];
      joined = arr1.concat(arr2);
      for( i = 0; i <= joined.length; i++ ) {
        current = joined[i];
        if( joined.indexOf(current) == joined.lastIndexOf(current) ) {
          diff.push(current);
        }
      }
      return diff;
    }

对于我的代码,我也需要删除副本,但我想这并不总是可取的。

我想主要的缺点是它可能会比较许多已经被拒绝的选择。

我在这里读到的答案有很多问题,使得它们在实际编程应用中价值有限。

First and foremost, you're going to want to have a way to control what it means for two items in the array to be "equal". The === comparison is not going to cut it if you're trying to figure out whether to update an array of objects based on an ID or something like that, which frankly is probably one of the most likely scenarios in which you will want a diff function. It also limits you to arrays of things that can be compared with the === operator, i.e. strings, ints, etc, and that's pretty much unacceptable for grown-ups.

其次,diff操作有三种状态结果:

在第一个数组中但不在第二个数组中的元素 两个数组共用的元素 在第二个数组中但不在第一个数组中的元素

我认为这意味着你需要不少于2个循环,但我愿意接受肮脏的技巧,如果有人知道如何将其减少到一个。

这里是我拼凑的一些东西,我想强调的是,我绝对不在乎它在旧版本的Microshaft浏览器中不起作用。如果您在IE这样的较差的编码环境中工作,那么您就可以自行修改它,使其在您无法满意的限制范围内工作。

Array.defaultValueComparison = function(a, b) {
    return (a === b);
};

Array.prototype.diff = function(arr, fnCompare) {

    // validate params

    if (!(arr instanceof Array))
        arr = [arr];

    fnCompare = fnCompare || Array.defaultValueComparison;

    var original = this, exists, storage, 
        result = { common: [], removed: [], inserted: [] };

    original.forEach(function(existingItem) {

        // Finds common elements and elements that 
        // do not exist in the original array

        exists = arr.some(function(newItem) {
            return fnCompare(existingItem, newItem);
        });

        storage = (exists) ? result.common : result.removed;
        storage.push(existingItem);

    });

    arr.forEach(function(newItem) {

        exists = original.some(function(existingItem) {
            return fnCompare(existingItem, newItem);
        });

        if (!exists)
            result.inserted.push(newItem);

    });

    return result;

};
