Usage

    var manipulate-js = require('manipulate-js'),
        getLeftMissingKeys = manipulate-js.getLeftMissingKeys,
        getRightMissingKeys = manipulate-js.getRightMissingKeys,
        getMissingKeys = manipulate-js.getMissingKeys;

    const OBJECT = { prop1: { subProp1: 'value1', subProp2: 'value2' }, prop2: 'value2' },
        OBJECT_MISSING_PROP = { prop1: { subProp1: 'value1', subProp2: 'value2' } },
        OBJECT_DIFFERENT_PROP = { prop1: { subProp1: 'value1', subProp3: 'value2' }, prop2: 'value2' };

    getLeftMissingKeys(OBJECT_MISSING_PROP, OBJECT); // ['prop2']
    getLeftMissingKeys(OBJECT, OBJECT_MISSING_PROP); // []
    getLeftMissingKeys(OBJECT, OBJECT); // []

    getRightMissingKeys(OBJECT_MISSING_PROP, OBJECT); // []
    getRightMissingKeys(OBJECT, OBJECT_MISSING_PROP); // ['prop2]
    getRightMissingKeys(OBJECT, OBJECT); // []

    getMissingKeys(OBJECT, OBJECT); // []
    getMissingKeys(OBJECT, OBJECT_MISSING_PROP); // [ { object: 'left', missingKeys: ['prop2'] } ]
    getMissingKeys(OBJECT_MISSING_PROP, OBJECT); // [ { object: 'right', missingKeys: ['prop2'] } ]
    getMissingKeys(OBJECT_DIFFERENT_PROP, OBJECT); // [ { object: 'left', missingKeys: ['prop1.subProp2'] }, { object: 'right', missingKeys: ['prop1.subProp3'] } ]

Functions

Returns an array of all keys present in other object which are missing in obj object. Nested keys are formatted by dot notation.

Returns an empty array if the objects contain the same keys.

getRightMissingKeys(obj, other)

Returns an array of all keys present in obj object which are missing in other object. Nested keys are formatted by dot notation.

Returns an empty array if the objects contain the same keys.
