Check if two objects are deeply equal. This is used internally by expect().toEqual() in Bun's test runner.
const a = { a: 1, b: 2, c: { d: 3 } };
const b = { a: 1, b: 2, c: { d: 3 } };
Bun.deepEquals(a, b); // true
Pass true as a third argument to enable strict mode. This is used internally by expect().toStrictEqual() in Bun's test runner.
The following examples would return true in non-strict mode but false in strict mode.
// undefined values
Bun.deepEquals({}, { a: undefined }, true); // false
// undefined in arrays
Bun.deepEquals(["asdf"], ["asdf", undefined], true); // false
// sparse arrays
Bun.deepEquals([, 1], [undefined, 1], true); // false
// object literals vs instances w/ same properties
class Foo {
a = 1;
}
Bun.deepEquals(new Foo(), { a: 1 }, true); // false
