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

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; }

这个怎么样:

Array.prototype.contains = function(needle){
  for (var i=0; i<this.length; i++)
    if (this[i] == needle) return true;

  return false;
} 

Array.prototype.diff = function(compare) {
    return this.filter(function(elem) {return !compare.contains(elem);})
}

var a = new Array(1,4,7, 9);
var b = new Array(4, 8, 7);
alert(a.diff(b));

这样你就可以用array1。diff(array2)来得到它们的区别算法的时间复杂度很可怕- O(array1。长度(我相信)

数据:

var new_storage = JSON.parse('[{"id_order":"0003"},{"id_order":"0004"},{"id_order":"0006"}]');

var old_storage = JSON.parse('[{"id_order":"0001"},{"id_order":"0002"},{"id_order":"0003"},{"id_order":"0004"},{"id_order":"0005"}]');

使用过滤器:

var diff = new_storage
.filter(x => {if(!(old_storage.filter(y => y.id_order==x.id_order)).length){return x}})
    .concat(old_storage
    .filter(x => {if(!(new_storage.filter(y => y.id_order==x.id_order)).length){return x}})
                       ) 

console.log(JSON.stringify(diff))

两个数组的结果不同

[{"id_order":"0006"},{"id_order":"0001"},{"id_order":"0002"},{"id_order":"0005"}]

使用http://phrogz.net/JS/ArraySetMath.js你可以:

var array1 = ["test1", "test2","test3", "test4"];
var array2 = ["test1", "test2","test3","test4", "test5", "test6"];

var array3 = array2.subtract( array1 );
// ["test5", "test6"]

var array4 = array1.exclusion( array2 );
// ["test5", "test6"]

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}

转换为字符串对象类型:

[1, 1].toString() === [1, 1].toString(); // true
