这个问题很老了，但仍然是javascript数组减法的热门问题，所以我想添加我正在使用的解决方案。适用于以下情况:

var a1 = [1,2,2,3]
var a2 = [1,2]
//result = [2,3]

下面的方法将产生预期的结果:

function arrayDifference(minuend, subtrahend) {
  for (var i = 0; i < minuend.length; i++) {
    var j = subtrahend.indexOf(minuend[i])
    if (j != -1) {
      minuend.splice(i, 1);
      subtrahend.splice(j, 1);
    }
  }
  return minuend;
}

需要注意的是，该函数不包括减数中没有被减数的值:

var a1 = [1,2,3]
var a2 = [2,3,4]
//result = [1]

var arrayDifference = function(arr1, arr2){
  if(arr1 && arr1.length){
    if(arr2 && arr2.length > 0){
      for (var i=0, itemIndex; i<arr2.length; i++){
        itemIndex = arr1.indexOf(arr2[i]);
        if(itemIndex !== -1){
          arr1.splice(itemIndex, 1);
        }
      }
    }
    return arr1;
  }
  return [];
};

arrayDifference([1,2,3,4,5], [1,5,6]);

根据之前的答案…取决于你是想要一个高效的还是“漂亮的联机”解决方案。

一般有三种方法……

"manual iterative" (using indexOf) - naive with O(n2) complexity (slow) var array_diff_naive = function(a,b){ var i, la = a.length, lb = b.length, res = []; if (!la) return b; else if (!lb) return a; for (i = 0; i < la; i++) { if (b.indexOf(a[i]) === -1) res.push(a[i]); } for (i = 0; i < lb; i++) { if (a.indexOf(b[i]) === -1) res.push(b[i]); } return res; } "abstract iterative" (using filter and concat library methods) - syntactic sugar for manual iterative (looks nicer, still sucks) var array_diff_modern = function(a1,a2){ return a1.filter(function(v) { return !a2.includes(v); } ) .concat(a2.filter(function(v) { return !a1.includes(v);})); } "using hashtable" (using object keys) - much more efficient - only O(n), but has slightly limited range of input array values var array_diff_hash = function(a1,a2){ var a = [], diff = []; for (var i = 0; i < a1.length; i++) { a[a1[i]] = true; } for (var i = 0; i < a2.length; i++) { if (a[a2[i]]) { delete a[a2[i]]; } else { a[a2[i]] = true; } } for (var k in a) { diff.push(k); } return diff; }

这里是使用地图的更快的方法

const arr1 = ['a','b','c','d'];
const arr2 = ['a','b','c']
let table = {}
arr1.forEach(v=>{table[v]=false})
arr2.forEach(v=>{
    if(table[v]===false) table[v] = true
    else table[v] = false
})
const diff = Object.keys(table).filter(v=>table[v]==false)

另一种解决问题的方法

function diffArray(arr1, arr2) {
    return arr1.concat(arr2).filter(function (val) {
        if (!(arr1.includes(val) && arr2.includes(val)))
            return val;
    });
}

diffArray([1, 2, 3, 7], [3, 2, 1, 4, 5]);    // return [7, 4, 5]

同样，你可以使用箭头函数语法:

const diffArray = (arr1, arr2) => arr1.concat(arr2)
    .filter(val => !(arr1.includes(val) && arr2.includes(val)));

diffArray([1, 2, 3, 7], [3, 2, 1, 4, 5]);    // return [7, 4, 5]

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)));
}
