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

下面是另一个可以返回差异的解决方案,就像git diff一样:(它已经用typescript编写,如果你不使用typescript版本,只需删除类型)

/**
 * util function to calculate the difference between two arrays (pay attention to 'from' and 'to'),
 * it would return the mutations from 'from' to 'to' 
 * @param { T[] } from
 * @param { T[] } to
 * @returns { { [x in string]: boolean } } it would return the stringified version of array element, true means added,
 * false means removed
 */
export function arrDiff<T>(from: T[], to: T[]): { [x in string]: boolean } {

  var diff: { [x in string]: boolean } = {};
  var newItems: T[] = []
  diff = from.reduce((a, e) => ({ ...a, [JSON.stringify(e)]: true }), {})

  for (var i = 0; i < to.length; i++) {
    if (diff[JSON.stringify(to[i])]) {
      delete diff[JSON.stringify(to[i])]
    } else {
      newItems.push(to[i])
    }
  }

  return {
    ...Object.keys(diff).reduce((a, e) => ({ ...a, [e]: false }), {}),
    ...newItems.reduce((a, e) => ({ ...a, [JSON.stringify(e)]: true }), {})
  }
}

下面是一个用法示例:

arrDiff(['a', 'b', 'c'], ['a', 'd', 'c', 'f']) //{"b": false, "d": true, "f": true}

/ / es6方法

function diff(a, b) {
  var u = a.slice(); //dup the array
  b.map(e => {
    if (u.indexOf(e) > -1) delete u[u.indexOf(e)]
    else u.push(e)   //add non existing item to temp array
  })
  return u.filter((x) => {return (x != null)}) //flatten result
}

我同意@luis-sieira的解决方案

我创建了位自解释函数,便于初学者一步一步理解:

function difference(oneArr, twoArr){
  var newArr = [];
  newArr = oneArr.filter((item)=>{
      return !twoArr.includes(item)
  });
  console.log(newArr)
    let arr = twoArr.filter((item)=>{
        return !oneArr.includes(item)
     });
    newArr =  newArr.concat(arr);
  console.log(newArr)
}
difference([1, 2, 3, 5], [1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
function diffArray(newArr, oldArr) {
    var newSet = new Set(newArr)
    var diff = []
    oldArr.forEach((a) => {
        if(!newSet.delete(a))diff.push(a)
    })
    return diff.concat(Array.from(newSet)) 
}
    function arrayDiff(a, b) {
      return a.concat(b).filter(val => !(b.includes(val)));
      //(or) return a.concat(b).filter(val => !(a.includes(val) && b.includes(val)));
    }

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;

};
