deepEqual()

Categories: Assert

deepEqual( actual, expected, message )

Description: A deep recursive comparison assertion, working on primitive types, arrays, objects, regular expressions, dates and functions.

deepEqual( actual, expected, message )
- actual
  
  Type: Object
  
  Object or Expression being tested
- expected
  
  Type: Object
  
  Known comparison value
- message
  
  Type: String
  
  A short description of the assertion

The deepEqual() assertion can be used just like equal() when comparing the value of objects, such that { key: value } is equal to { key: value }. For non-scalar values, identity will be disregarded by deepEqual.

notDeepEqual() can be used to explicitly test deep, strict inequality.

Example:

Compare the value of two objects.

test( "deepEqual test", function() {
  var obj = { foo: "bar" };
 
  deepEqual( obj, { foo: "bar" }, "Two objects can be the same in value" );
});
