下面是另一个可以返回差异的解决方案，就像git diff一样:(它已经用typescript编写，如果你不使用typescript版本，只需删除类型)

/**
 * util function to calculate the difference between two arrays (pay attention to 'from' and 'to'),
 * it would return the mutations from 'from' to 'to' 
 * @param { T[] } from
 * @param { T[] } to
 * @returns { { [x in string]: boolean } } it would return the stringified version of array element, true means added,
 * false means removed
 */
export function arrDiff<T>(from: T[], to: T[]): { [x in string]: boolean } {

  var diff: { [x in string]: boolean } = {};
  var newItems: T[] = []
  diff = from.reduce((a, e) => ({ ...a, [JSON.stringify(e)]: true }), {})

  for (var i = 0; i < to.length; i++) {
    if (diff[JSON.stringify(to[i])]) {
      delete diff[JSON.stringify(to[i])]
    } else {
      newItems.push(to[i])
    }
  }

  return {
    ...Object.keys(diff).reduce((a, e) => ({ ...a, [e]: false }), {}),
    ...newItems.reduce((a, e) => ({ ...a, [JSON.stringify(e)]: true }), {})
  }
}

下面是一个用法示例:

arrDiff(['a', 'b', 'c'], ['a', 'd', 'c', 'f']) //{"b": false, "d": true, "f": true}

var arrayDifference = function(arr1, arr2){
  if(arr1 && arr1.length){
    if(arr2 && arr2.length > 0){
      for (var i=0, itemIndex; i<arr2.length; i++){
        itemIndex = arr1.indexOf(arr2[i]);
        if(itemIndex !== -1){
          arr1.splice(itemIndex, 1);
        }
      }
    }
    return arr1;
  }
  return [];
};

arrayDifference([1,2,3,4,5], [1,5,6]);

简单地比较所有值，并返回数组与不重复的值。

var main = [9, '$', 'x', 'r', 3, 'A', '#', 0, 1];

var arr0 = ['Z', 9, 'e', '$', 'r'];
var arr1 = ['x', 'r', 3, 'A', '#'];
var arr2 = ['m', '#', 'a', 0, 'r'];
var arr3 = ['$', 1, 'n', '!', 'A'];


Array.prototype.diff = function(arrays) {
    var items = [].concat.apply(this, arguments);
    var diff = [].slice.call(items), i, l, x, pos;

    // go through all items
    for (x = 0, i = 0, l = items.length; i < l; x = 0, i++) {
        // find all positions
        while ((pos = diff.indexOf(items[i])) > -1) {
            // remove item + increase found count
            diff.splice(pos, 1) && x++;
        }
        // if item was found just once, put it back
        if (x === 1) diff.push(items[i]);
    }
    // get all not duplicated items
    return diff;
};

main.diff(arr0, arr1, arr2, arr3).join(''); // returns "Zeman!"

[].diff(main, arr0, arr1, arr2, arr3).join(''); // returns "Zeman!"

困难的方法(如果你想做一些比.indexOf更奇特的东西)

var difference = function (source, target) {
    return source.reduce(function (diff, current) { 
        if (target.indexOf(current) === -1) { 
            diff.push(current); 
        }

        return diff; 
    }, []);
}

简单的方法

var difference = function (source, target) {
    return source.filter(function (current) {
        return target.indexOf(current) === -1;
    });
}

你可以使用underscore.js: http://underscorejs.org/#intersection

你需要数组的方法:

_.difference([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], [5, 2, 10]);
=> [1, 3, 4]

_.intersection([1, 2, 3], [101, 2, 1, 10], [2, 1]);
=> [1, 2]

使用http://phrogz.net/JS/ArraySetMath.js你可以:

var array1 = ["test1", "test2","test3", "test4"];
var array2 = ["test1", "test2","test3","test4", "test5", "test6"];

var array3 = array2.subtract( array1 );
// ["test5", "test6"]

var array4 = array1.exclusion( array2 );
// ["test5", "test6"]
