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

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)));
}

其他回答

function array_diff(a, b) {

    let array = [];
    for(let i = 0; i <a.length; i++) {
        let k = 0;
        for( let j = 0; j < b.length; j++) {
            if(a[i]!==b[j]) {
                k++;
            }
            if(k===b.length) {
                array = array.concat(a[i]);
            }
        }

        if(b.length ===0) {
            array = array.concat(a[i]);
        }
    }
    return array;
}

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"]

如果不使用hasOwnProperty,那么我们有不正确的元素。例如:

[1,2,3].diff([1,2]); //Return ["3", "remove", "diff"] This is the wrong version

我的版本:

Array.prototype.diff = function(array2)
  {
    var a = [],
        diff = [],
        array1 = this || [];

    for (var i = 0; i < array1.length; i++) {
      a[array1[i]] = true;
    }
    for (var i = 0; i < array2.length; i++) {
      if (a[array2[i]]) {
        delete a[array2[i]];
      } else {
        a[array2[i]] = true;
      }
    }

    for (var k in a) {
      if (!a.hasOwnProperty(k)){
        continue;
      }
      diff.push(k);
    }

    return diff;
  }

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]
function diffArray(arr1, arr2) {
  var newArr = arr1.concat(arr2);
  return newArr.filter(function(i){
    return newArr.indexOf(i) == newArr.lastIndexOf(i);
  });
}

这对我很有用
