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; }

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}

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])

/ / 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
}

function diffArray(arr1, arr2) {
  const newArr = [];

// arr1 match to arr2
arr1.map((item)=>{
if(arr2.indexOf(item)<0){
  console.log(item)
  newArr.push(item)
}  
})

// arr2 match to arr1
arr2.map((item)=>{
if(arr1.indexOf(item)<0){
  newArr.push(item)
}
})

  return newArr; 
}

差异([1,2,3,5]，[1,2,3,4,5])

输出::[4]

下面是一个稍微修改的版本，它使用Object来存储哈希，可以处理数组中的数字和字符串。

function arrDiff(a, b) {
  const hash = {};
  a.forEach(n => { hash[n] = n; });
  b.forEach(n => {
    if (hash[n]) {
      delete hash[n];
    } else {
      hash[n] = n;
    }
  });
  return Object.values(hash);
}
