I know it's kinda late answer but I just lost about half an hour debugging cause of this, It might save someone some time.
BE MINDFUL, If you use angular.equals()
on objects that have property obj.$something
(property name starts with $) those properties will get ignored in comparison.
Example:
var obj1 = {
$key0: "A",
key1: "value1",
key2: "value2",
key3: {a: "aa", b: "bb"}
}
var obj2 = {
$key0: "B"
key2: "value2",
key1: "value1",
key3: {a: "aa", b: "bb"}
}
angular.equals(obj1, obj2) //<--- would return TRUE (despite it's not true)
