I have two arrays list1
and list2
which have objects with some properties; userId
is the Id or unique property:
list1 = [
{ userId: 1234, userName: 'XYZ' },
{ userId: 1235, userName: 'ABC' },
{ userId: 1236, userName: 'IJKL' },
{ userId: 1237, userName: 'WXYZ' },
{ userId: 1238, userName: 'LMNO' }
]
list2 = [
{ userId: 1235, userName: 'ABC' },
{ userId: 1236, userName: 'IJKL' },
{ userId: 1252, userName: 'AAAA' }
]
I'm looking for an easy way to execute the following three operations:
list1 operation list2
should return the intersection of elements:
[
{ userId: 1235, userName: 'ABC' },
{ userId: 1236, userName: 'IJKL' }
]
list1 operation list2
should return the list of all elements from list1
which don't occur in list2
:
[
{ userId: 1234, userName: 'XYZ' },
{ userId: 1237, userName: 'WXYZ' },
{ userId: 1238, userName: 'LMNO' }
]
list2 operation list1
should return the list of elements from list2
which don't occur in list1
:
[
{ userId: 1252, userName: 'AAAA' }
]
This is the solution that worked for me.
var intersect = function (arr1, arr2) {
var intersect = [];
_.each(arr1, function (a) {
_.each(arr2, function (b) {
if (compare(a, b))
intersect.push(a);
});
});
return intersect;
};
var unintersect = function (arr1, arr2) {
var unintersect = [];
_.each(arr1, function (a) {
var found = false;
_.each(arr2, function (b) {
if (compare(a, b)) {
found = true;
}
});
if (!found) {
unintersect.push(a);
}
});
return unintersect;
};
function compare(a, b) {
if (a.userId === b.userId)
return true;
else return false;
}
