Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Fastest deep equal comparison for React. Great for React.memo & shouldComponentUpdate. Also really fast general-purpose deep comparison.

The fastest deep equal comparison for React. Very quick general-purpose deep comparison, too. Great for React.memo and shouldComponentUpdate.

This is a fork of the brilliant fast-deep-equal with some extra handling for React.

benchmark chart

(Check out the benchmarking details.)

Install

$ yarn add react-fast-compare
# or
$ npm install react-fast-compare

Highlights

  • ES5 compatible; works in node.js (0.10+) and browsers (IE9+)
  • deeply compares any value (besides objects with circular references)
  • handles React-specific circular references, like elements
  • checks equality Date and RegExp objects
  • should as fast as fast-deep-equal via a single unified library, and with added guardrails for circular references.
  • small: under 650 bytes minified+gzipped

Usage

const isEqual = require("react-fast-compare");

// general usage
console.log(isEqual({ foo: "bar" }, { foo: "bar" })); // true

// React.memo
// only re-render ExpensiveComponent when the props have deeply changed
const DeepMemoComponent = React.memo(ExpensiveComponent, isEqual);

// React.Component shouldComponentUpdate
// only re-render AnotherExpensiveComponent when the props have deeply changed
class AnotherExpensiveComponent extends React.Component {
  shouldComponentUpdate(nextProps) {
    return !isEqual(this.props, nextProps);
  }
  render() {
    // ...
  }
}

Do I Need React.memo (or shouldComponentUpdate)?

What's faster than a really fast deep comparison? No deep comparison at all.

—This Readme

Deep checks in React.memo or a shouldComponentUpdate should not be used blindly. First, see if the default React.memo or PureComponent will work for you. If it won't (if you need deep checks), it's wise to make sure you've correctly indentified the bottleneck in your application by profiling the performance. After you've determined that you do need deep equality checks and you've identified the minimum number of places to apply them, then this library may be for you!

Benchmarking this Library

The absolute values are much less important than the relative differences between packages.

Benchmarking source can be found here. Each "operation" consists of running all relevant tests. The React benchmark uses both the generic tests and the react tests; these runs will be slower simply because there are more tests in each operation.

The results below are from a local test on a laptop (stats last updated 6/2/2020):

Generic Data

react-fast-compare x 177,600 ops/sec ±1.73% (92 runs sampled)
fast-deep-equal x 184,211 ops/sec ±0.65% (87 runs sampled)
lodash.isEqual x 39,826 ops/sec ±1.32% (86 runs sampled)
nano-equal x 176,023 ops/sec ±0.89% (92 runs sampled)
shallow-equal-fuzzy x 146,355 ops/sec ±0.64% (89 runs sampled)
  fastest: fast-deep-equal

react-fast-compare and fast-deep-equal should be the same speed for these tests; any difference is just noise. react-fast-compare won't be faster than fast-deep-equal, because it's based on it.

React and Generic Data

react-fast-compare x 86,392 ops/sec ±0.70% (93 runs sampled)
fast-deep-equal x 85,567 ops/sec ±0.95% (92 runs sampled)
lodash.isEqual x 7,369 ops/sec ±1.78% (84 runs sampled)
  fastest: react-fast-compare,fast-deep-equal

Two of these packages cannot handle comparing React elements, because they contain circular reference: nano-equal and shallow-equal-fuzzy.

Running Benchmarks

$ yarn install
$ yarn run benchmark

Differences between this library and fast-deep-equal

react-fast-compare is based on fast-deep-equal, with some additions:

  • react-fast-compare has try/catch guardrails for stack overflows from undetected (non-React) circular references.
  • react-fast-compare has a single unified entry point for all uses. No matter what your target application is, import equal from 'react-fast-compare' just works. fast-deep-equal has multiple entry points for different use cases.

Bundle Size

There are a variety of ways to calculate bundle size for JavaScript code. You can see our size test code in the compress script in package.json. Bundlephobia's calculation is slightly higher, as they do not mangle during minification.
