I'm using Lodash to compare two objects returned from Postman but I want to ignore the dynamic values (page_view and deletion.update_time). How can I do this? I've tried passing in the property names into omit but it's not working... how can I resolve this issue? Thank you.
var obj1 = {
name: "James",
age: 17,
page_view: "2",
creation: "13-03-2016",
deletion: {
"article_id": 4469568,
"update_time": 1226,
}
}
var obj2 = {
name: "James",
age: 17,
page_view: "62",
creation: "13-03-2016",
deletion: {
"article_id": 4469568,
"update_time": 12265,
}
}
var result = _.isEqual(
_.omit(obj1, ['page_view', 'update_time']),
_.omit(obj2, ['page_view', 'update_time'])
);
if (!result) {
pm.expect.fail("Pro and Sta are different")
}
You need to specify this on the sub-object:
var obj1={name:"James",age:17,page_view:"2",creation:"13-03-2016",deletion:{"article_id":4469568,"update_time":1226,}}
var obj2={name:"James",age:17,page_view:"62",creation:"13-03-2016",deletion:{"article_id":4469568,"update_time":12265,}}
const stripDynamicValues = o => {
let toCompare = _.omit(_.cloneDeep(o), "page_view");
// Here, you need to work explicitly on the sub-object
toCompare.deletion = _.omit(toCompare.deletion, "update_time");
return toCompare;
};
var result = _.isEqual(stripDynamicValues(obj1), stripDynamicValues(obj2));
console.log(result);<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/lodash.js/4.17.21/lodash.min.js"></script>
