Can you please help me with how can i ignore the order of arrays when comparing? about chai-exclude HOT 5 CLOSED

@rahulworks-git Hello, can you provide an example? Do you mean you also want to assert the order of the array? If yes, this package doesn't do it.

from chai-exclude.

@mesaugat Sure.

json_1 = {
"data":
[
{
"_id": "181",
"date_time": "2008-03-11T22:24:00.000Z",
"document_id": "111",
"exp_id": "f7w7d6hs",
"note_length": "5027"
},
{
"_id": "182",
"date_time": "2001-12-18T15:53:00.000Z",
"document_id": "123",
"encounter_id": "ha7sd7hahsd6",
"note_length": "10400"
},
{
"_id": "183",
"date_time": "2001-11-20T01:43:00.000Z",
"document_id": "134",
"exp_id": "jjasd8721",

{

"document_id": "167",
"exp_id": "sadasd871hj2",
"note_length": "5792"
}
]
}

json_2 = {
"data":

{
"_id": "183",
"date_time": "2001-11-20T01:43:00.000Z",

When i am using deepEqualExcludingEvery, then i get the response that the above 2 json are not the same whereas i am expecting them be the same. For my use case, the order of the records in an array does not matter, only the elements inside the array should not be different.

from chai-exclude.

@rahulworks-git Got it. Deep equality in chai by default seems to also care about the order of the objects. (Didn't know about this 😅)

Maybe you can use this plugin: https://github.com/oprogramador/deep-equal-in-any-order

expect(json_1).excludingEvery('a').to.deep.equalInAnyOrder(json_2)

@mesaugat This seemed to have worked partially. I need some help from you. Is it possible to connect over any meeting platform? Maybe i can share screen for a while and discuss the use case.

@rahulworks-git Hey sorry Rahul, I'm generally busy with my work. You can create an issue in the repository and I can take a look at it when I find the time.

Closing this issue for now.
