equal

Check whether the value of a Dinero object is equal to another.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description	Required
dineroObject	Dinero<TAmount, TCurrency>	The first Dinero object to compare.	Yes
comparator	Dinero<TAmount, TCurrency>	The second Dinero object to compare.	Yes

Code examples

Compare two identical objects

import { dinero, equal } from 'dinero.js';
import { USD } from 'dinero.js/currencies';

const d1 = dinero({ amount: 500, currency: USD });
const d2 = dinero({ amount: 500, currency: USD });

equal(d1, d2); // true

Compare two objects with different amounts

import { dinero, equal } from 'dinero.js';
import { USD } from 'dinero.js/currencies';

const d1 = dinero({ amount: 500, currency: USD });
const d2 = dinero({ amount: 800, currency: USD });

equal(d1, d2); // false

Compare two identical objects after normalization

import { dinero, equal } from 'dinero.js';
import { USD } from 'dinero.js/currencies';

const d1 = dinero({ amount: 500, currency: USD });
const d2 = dinero({ amount: 5000, currency: USD, scale: 3 });

equal(d1, d2); // true

Compare two objects with different currencies

import { dinero, equal } from 'dinero.js';
import { USD, EUR } from 'dinero.js/currencies';

const d1 = dinero({ amount: 500, currency: USD });
const d2 = dinero({ amount: 500, currency: EUR });

equal(d1, d2); // false
