Reactive get array difference of two arrays.

By default, it returns the difference of the first array from the second array, so call A \ B, Relative Complement of B in A.

You can pass the symmetric option to get the Symmetric difference of two arrays A â–³ B.

Usage ​

Use with reactive array ​

js
import { useArrayDifference } from '@vueuse/core'

const list1 = ref([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
const list2 = ref([4, 5, 6])
const result = useArrayDifference(list1, list2)
// result.value: [0, 1, 2, 3]
list2.value = [0, 1, 2]
// result.value: [3, 4, 5]

Use with reactive array and use function comparison ​

js
import { useArrayDifference } from '@vueuse/core'

const list1 = ref([{ id: 1 }, { id: 2 }, { id: 3 }, { id: 4 }, { id: 5 }])
const list2 = ref([{ id: 4 }, { id: 5 }, { id: 6 }])

const result = useArrayDifference(list1, list2, (value, othVal) => value.id === othVal.id)
// result.value: [{ id: 1 }, { id: 2 }, { id: 3 }]

Symmetric Difference ​

This composable also supports Symmetric difference by passing the symmetric option.

js
import { useArrayDifference } from '@vueuse/core'

const list1 = ref([{ id: 1 }, { id: 2 }, { id: 3 }, { id: 4 }, { id: 5 }])
const list2 = ref([{ id: 4 }, { id: 5 }, { id: 6 }])

const result = useArrayDifference(
  list1,
  list2,
  (value, othVal) => value.id === othVal.id,
  { symmetric: true }
)
// result.value: [{ id: 1 }, { id: 2 }, { id: 3 }, { id: 6 }]

Type Declarations ​

typescript
export interface UseArrayDifferenceOptions {
  /**
   * Returns asymmetric difference
   *
   * @see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetric_difference
   * @default false
   */
  symmetric?: boolean
}
export declare function useArrayDifference<T>(
  list: MaybeRefOrGetter<T[]>,
  values: MaybeRefOrGetter<T[]>,
  key?: keyof T,
  options?: UseArrayDifferenceOptions,
): ComputedRef<T[]>
export declare function useArrayDifference<T>(
  list: MaybeRefOrGetter<T[]>,
  values: MaybeRefOrGetter<T[]>,
  compareFn?: (value: T, othVal: T) => boolean,
  options?: UseArrayDifferenceOptions,
): ComputedRef<T[]>
