arrayEqual

.arrayEqual()

Asserts that the target is strictly == equal to the given val.

Asserts that two arrays are strictly equal element by element. Uses proxyValue which now supports both string comparison and opEquals.

Examples

Basic Usage

expect([1, 2, 3]).to.equal([1, 2, 3]);
expect(["a", "b", "c"]).to.equal(["a", "b", "c"]);

With Negation

expect([1, 2, 3]).to.not.equal([1, 2, 4]);
expect(["a", "b", "c"]).to.not.equal(["a", "b", "d"]);
