How to check if two tables(objects) have the same value in Lua

Question

I wanna check if two tables have the same value in Lua, but didn\'t find the way.

I use the operator ==, it seems just to check the same objects, but no

Answer 1

I currently use this

local tableCompare
do
    local compare
    compare = function(src, tmp, _reverse)
        if (type(src) ~= "table" or type(tmp) ~= "table") then
            return src == tmp
        end

        for k, v in next, src do
            if type(v) == "table" then
                if type(tmp[k]) ~= "table" or not compare(v, tmp[k]) then
                    return false
                end
            else
                if tmp[k] ~= v then
                    return false
                end
            end
        end
        return _reverse and true or compare(tmp, src, true)
    end
    tableCompare = function(src, tmp, checkMeta)
        return compare(src, tmp) and (not checkMeta or compare(getmetatable(src), getmetatable(tmp)))
    end
end

print(tableCompare({ 1 , b = 30 }, { b = 30, 1 }, false))
