I am trying to pare two objects using lodash like below. The problem is that it always returns false. I think that the issue is that the objects have different order of keys and values. I however couldn't find a solution on how to pare it regardless on the order.

How to ignore the order and pare the two objects correctly?

var obj1 = {

• javascript
• lodash

You can use the isEqual function which does a deep equal check (regardless of key order):

   _.isEqual(obj1, obj2)
