deepest
is deeper
's devious
little brother. It doesn't care about encapsulation or data-hiding -- it finds
all the properties on your objects and makes sure that any two objects are
exactly the same by examining their property descriptors directly. Arguably
useful for comparing objects that have been created using defineProperty
magic, and can correctly test some objects that would lead to stack explosions
when used with deeper
or other more straightforward deep equality testers.
I'd love to know about any situations where this module turns out to be
necessary.
deepest
, like deeper
, also comes with shims for use with my three favorite
assertion libraries:
See the usage instructions for details on how to enable the shims.
installation
npm install deepest
usage
// vanillavar deepEqual = if ! console; // to install the shim against require('assert').deepEqual; // to patch Chai's eql / deep.equal / et al; // to patch node-tap's ridiculous array of synonyms for deepEqual;
caveats
All of deeper
's caveats apply here as well. Also, I'm not sure this module is
a good idea.
