为了获得对称差异，您需要以两种方式比较数组(或在多个数组的情况下以所有方式比较)

ES7 (ECMAScript 2016)

// diff between just two arrays:
function arrayDiff(a, b) {
    return [
        ...a.filter(x => !b.includes(x)),
        ...b.filter(x => !a.includes(x))
    ];
}

// diff between multiple arrays:
function arrayDiff(...arrays) {
    return [].concat(...arrays.map( (arr, i) => {
        const others = arrays.slice(0);
        others.splice(i, 1);
        const unique = [...new Set([].concat(...others))];
        return arr.filter(x => !unique.includes(x));
    }));
}

ES6(2015年ECMAScript)

// diff between just two arrays:
function arrayDiff(a, b) {
    return [
        ...a.filter(x => b.indexOf(x) === -1),
        ...b.filter(x => a.indexOf(x) === -1)
    ];
}

// diff between multiple arrays:
function arrayDiff(...arrays) {
    return [].concat(...arrays.map( (arr, i) => {
        const others = arrays.slice(0);
        others.splice(i, 1);
        const unique = [...new Set([].concat(...others))];
        return arr.filter(x => unique.indexOf(x) === -1);
    }));
}

ES5 (ECMAScript 5.1)

// diff between just two arrays:
function arrayDiff(a, b) {
    var arrays = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments);
    var diff = [];

    arrays.forEach(function(arr, i) {
        var other = i === 1 ? a : b;
        arr.forEach(function(x) {
            if (other.indexOf(x) === -1) {
                diff.push(x);
            }
        });
    })

    return diff;
}

// diff between multiple arrays:
function arrayDiff() {
    var arrays = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments);
    var diff = [];

    arrays.forEach(function(arr, i) {
        var others = arrays.slice(0);
        others.splice(i, 1);
        var otherValues = Array.prototype.concat.apply([], others);
        var unique = otherValues.filter(function (x, j) { 
            return otherValues.indexOf(x) === j; 
        });
        diff = diff.concat(arr.filter(x => unique.indexOf(x) === -1));
    });
    return diff;
}

例子:

// diff between two arrays:
const a = ['a', 'd', 'e'];
const b = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'];
arrayDiff(a, b); // (3) ["e", "b", "c"]

// diff between multiple arrays
const a = ['b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'g'];
const b = ['a', 'b'];
const c = ['a', 'e', 'f'];
arrayDiff(a, b, c); // (4) ["c", "d", "g", "f"]

对象数组之间的差异

function arrayDiffByKey(key, ...arrays) {
    return [].concat(...arrays.map( (arr, i) => {
        const others = arrays.slice(0);
        others.splice(i, 1);
        const unique = [...new Set([].concat(...others))];
        return arr.filter( x =>
            !unique.some(y => x[key] === y[key])
        );
    }));
}

例子:

const a = [{k:1}, {k:2}, {k:3}];
const b = [{k:1}, {k:4}, {k:5}, {k:6}];
const c = [{k:3}, {k:5}, {k:7}];
arrayDiffByKey('k', a, b, c); // (4) [{k:2}, {k:4}, {k:6}, {k:7}]

随着ES6的到来，带有sets和splat操作符(当时只在Firefox中工作，请检查兼容性表)，你可以编写以下一行代码:

var a = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'];
var b = ['a', 'b'];
var b1 = new Set(b);
var difference = [...new Set(a.filter(x => !b1.has(x)))];

结果是["c"， "d"]。

我就遇到了这个问题，就是求两个简单数组的差值

var a1 = ['a', 'b'];
var a2 = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'];

// need ["c", "d"]

我不明白为什么不使用基本的for循环:

for(var i=0; i < a1.length; i++) {
  for(var j=0; j < a2.length; j++) {
    if(a1[i] == a2[j]) {
      a2.splice(j, 1);
    }
  }
}

这将返回所需的["c"， "d"]

[编辑]提议正上方，看到晚了。

不管怎样，有什么好的理由来避免这个简单的解决方案吗?

function diff(a1, a2) {
  return a1.concat(a2).filter(function(val, index, arr){
    return arr.indexOf(val) === arr.lastIndexOf(val);
  });
}

合并这两个数组，唯一的值将只出现一次，因此indexOf()将与lastIndexOf()相同。

**这将根据'type'参数为任意2个数组返回一个唯一值数组，或一个重复值数组，或一个非重复值数组(difference)。**

let json1 = ['one', 'two']
let json2 = ['one', 'two', 'three', 'four']

function uniq_n_shit (arr1, arr2, type) {

  let concat = arr1.concat(arr2)
  let set = [...new Set(concat)]

  if (!type || type === 'uniq' || type === 'unique') {

    return set

  } else if (type === 'duplicate') {

    concat = arr1.concat(arr2)
    return concat.filter(function (obj, index, self) {
      return index !== self.indexOf(obj)
    })

  } else if (type === 'not_duplicate') {

    let duplicates = concat.filter(function (obj, index, self) {
      return index !== self.indexOf(obj)
    })

    for (let r = 0; r < duplicates.length; r++) {
      let i = set.indexOf(duplicates[r]);
      if(i !== -1) {
        set.splice(i, 1);
      }
    }

    return set

  }
}

console.log(uniq_n_shit(json1, json2, null)) // => [ 'one', 'two', 'three', 'four' ]
console.log(uniq_n_shit(json1, json2, 'uniq')) // => [ 'one', 'two', 'three', 'four' ]
console.log(uniq_n_shit(json1, json2, 'duplicate')) // => [ 'one', 'two' ]
console.log(uniq_n_shit(json1, json2, 'not_duplicate')) // => [ 'three', 'four' ]

使用ES7有一个更好的方法:

十字路口

 let intersection = arr1.filter(x => arr2.includes(x));

对于[1,2,3][2,3]，它将生成[2,3]。另一方面，for[1,2,3][2,3,5]将返回相同的结果。

区别

let difference = arr1.filter(x => !arr2.includes(x));

对于[1,2,3][2,3]，它将生成[1]。另一方面，for[1,2,3][2,3,5]将返回相同的结果。

对于对称差分，你可以这样做:

let difference = arr1
                 .filter(x => !arr2.includes(x))
                 .concat(arr2.filter(x => !arr1.includes(x)));

通过这种方式，您将得到一个包含arr1中所有不在arr2中的元素的数组，反之亦然

正如@Joshaven Potter在他的回答中指出的，你可以把这个添加到Array中。原型，所以它可以这样使用:

Array.prototype.diff = function(arr2) { return this.filter(x => !arr2.includes(x)); }
[1, 2, 3].diff([2, 3])
