How to get the difference between two arrays of objects in JavaScript

Question

I have two result sets like this:

// Result 1
[
    { value: \"0\", display: \"Jamsheer\" },
    { value: \"1\", display: \"Muhammed\" },
    { value: \"2\",         


        

Answer 1

I've made a generalized diff that compare 2 objects of any kind and can run a modification handler gist.github.com/bortunac "diff.js" an ex of using :

old_obj={a:1,b:2,c:[1,2]}
now_obj={a:2 , c:[1,3,5],d:55}

so property a is modified, b is deleted, c modified, d is added

var handler=function(type,pointer){
console.log(type,pointer,this.old.point(pointer)," | ",this.now.point(pointer)); 

}

now use like

df=new diff();
df.analize(now_obj,old_obj);
df.react(handler);

the console will show

mdf ["a"]  1 | 2 
mdf ["c", "1"]  2 | 3 
add ["c", "2"]  undefined | 5 
add ["d"]  undefined | 55 
del ["b"]  2 | undefined
