Expect Arrays to be equal ignoring order

Question

With Jasmine is there a way to test if 2 arrays contain the same elements, but are not necessarily in the same order? ie

array1 = [1,2,3];
array2 = [3,2,1];

expect(array1).toEqualIgnoreOrder(array2);//should be true

Answer 1

If it's just integers or other primitive values, you can sort() them before comparing.

expect(array1.sort()).toEqual(array2.sort());

If its objects, combine it with the map() function to extract an identifier that will be compared

array1 = [{id:1}, {id:2}, {id:3}];
array2 = [{id:3}, {id:2}, {id:1}];

expect(array1.map(a => a.id).sort()).toEqual(array2.map(a => a.id).sort());
