Lets say that you have two arrays with objects, Array 1 and Array 2. The issue I am having is finding the exact difference between the two arrays, which may include elements that are seemingly equal to each. In this example, I commented the specific objects in each array.
Think of this in terms of having a shopping cart with repeat items, but you can only redeem one item. So //number 4
is one of the repeat items, but you still need it in Array 3
ARRAY 1
[
{ // number 1
item_id: 4,
total_price: 2.71
},
{ // number 2
item_id: 2,
total_price: 3.71
},
{ // number 3
item_id: 4,
total_price: 1.71
},
{ // number 4
item_id: 4,
total_price: 2.71
}
]
ARRAY 2
[
{ // number 1
item_id: 4,
total_price: 2.71
}
]
How do I find the difference between these two arrays, Array 3?? And would it be best to have a unique key on each object to compare easier? Doing this in javascript/node and mainly using lodash.
ARRAY 3
[
{ // number 2
item_id: 2,
total_price: 3.71
},
{ // number 3
item_id: 4,
total_price: 1.71
},
{ // number 4
item_id: 4,
total_price: 2.71
}
