Overview

Package compare has a function for comparing unsorted slices

Index

• func SliceUnsorted(a, b interface{}) (bool, error)

Examples

• SliceUnsorted

Functions

func SliceUnsorted

func SliceUnsorted(a, b interface{}) (bool, error)

SliceUnsorted will check whether two slices are equal when their sort order should not matter. Useful for testing, comparing results. Will return error if input is not slice

Example

With SliceUnsorted there is no need to construct a sort function for the data type in question

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"reflect"

	"github.com/markysand/compare"
)

func main() {
	sliceA := []struct {
		name    string
		surname string
	}{
		{"Donald", "Duck"},
		{"Mickey", "Mouse"},
	}
	sliceB := []struct {
		name    string
		surname string
	}{
		{"Mickey", "Mouse"},
		{"Donald", "Duck"},
	}
	result1, _ := compare.SliceUnsorted(sliceA, sliceB)
	result2 := reflect.DeepEqual(sliceA, sliceB)
	fmt.Println(result1)
	fmt.Println(result2)
}

Output:
true
false
