How to use underscore's “intersection” on objects?

Question

_.intersection([], [])

only works with primitive types, right?

It doesn\'t work with objects. How can I make it work with objects (maybe b

Answer 1

If you wanna compare only objects:

b = {"1":{"prod":"fibaro"},"2":{"prod":"aeotec"},"3":{"prod":"sw"}}; 
a = {"1":{"prod":"fibaro"}};


_.intersectObjects = function(a,b){
    var m = Object.keys(a).length;
    var n = Object.keys(b).length;
    var output;
    if (m > n) output = _.clone(a); else output = _.clone(b);

    var keys = _.xor(_.keys(a),_.keys(b));
    for(k in keys){
        console.log(k);
        delete output[keys[k]];
    }
    return output;
}
_.intersectObjects(a,b); // this returns { '1': { prod: 'fibaro' } }
