Array difference based on function
JavaScript, Array · Oct 22, 2020

Filters out all values from an array for which the comparator function does not return true
.
- Use
Array.prototype.filter()
andArray.prototype.findIndex()
to find the appropriate values. - Omit the last argument,
comp
, to use a default strict equality comparator.
const differenceWith = (arr, val, comp = (a, b) => a === b) => arr.filter(a => val.findIndex(b => comp(a, b)) === -1); differenceWith( [1, 1.2, 1.5, 3, 0], [1.9, 3, 0], (a, b) => Math.round(a) === Math.round(b) ); // [1, 1.2] differenceWith([1, 1.2, 1.3], [1, 1.3, 1.5]); // [1.2]
