How to check if two arrays are equal with JavaScript? [duplicate]

Answer 1

If you are using lodash and don't want to modify either array, you can use the function _.xor(). It compares the two arrays as sets and returns the set that contains their difference. If the length of this difference is zero, the two arrays are essentially equal:

var a = [1, 2, 3];
var b = [3, 2, 1];
var c = new Array(1, 2, 3);
_.xor(a, b).length === 0
true
_.xor(b, c).length === 0
true
