Methods


<static> changed(obj1, obj2)

Performs a deep-diff comparison between two objects and returns a hash mapping all keys from obj1 and obj2 to whether or not they were changed. (A key is mapped to true if there are differences, false otherwise).

It does not matter which order you pass the parameters in; the returned object will remain the same.

Example:

var newModelAttributes = {
    a: 1,
    b: {create: true, edit: false},
    c: 'test',
    d: {a: 'b', c: {d: true}}
};

var oldModelAttributes = {
    a: 1,
    b: {create: true},
    c: undefined,
    e: [1, 2]
};

_.changed(newModelAttributes, oldModelAttributes);
// {a: false, b: true, c: true, d: true, e: true}
Parameters:
Name Type Description

Returns:

The hash of differences between obj1 and obj2. Returns undefined if obj1 and obj2 are empty.
