Object.keys should work equally well also for arrays. The only difference is that .keys() returns numbers, while Object.keys are strings.

The a.constructor check will crash when a is null or undefined, we should guard for that.

Yeah. I should have guessed that 😅

The a.constructor check will crash when a is null or undefined, we should guard for that.

I've borrowed the check for isShallowEqual, so it should be safe in this case.

Based on your suggestion, I think we can simplify logic to the example below. What do you think?

const keys =
	typeof a === 'object' && typeof b === 'object'
		? Object.keys( a ).filter( ( k ) => a[ k ] !== b[ k ] )
		: [];

But isShallowEqual does an if ( a && b ) check before it starts looking at a.constructor.

typeof a === 'object' && typeof b === 'object'

typeof null is also 'object' 🙀 It will all work only if you exit early when a or b is falsy.

I should stop ignoring the "everything is an object" JS motto 😄

Pushed update in 39bc8c1.

The warning will be confusing when the b object has some field that the a object doesn't have. Then it will report an empty list of non-equal keys.

It can happen in practice when we write code like this:

useSelect( select => {
  if ( someCondition ) {
    return { loading: false };
  }
  return { loading: false, data: select( store ).getData() };
} );

To fix this, we could construct a set of all fields on both objects and then filter it:

const allKeys = Array.from( new Set( [ ...Object.keys( a ), ...Object.keys( b ) ] ) );
const keys = allKeys.filter( ( k ) => a[ k ] !== b[ k ] );

But this will fail again for objects like {} and { a: undefined } which are not shallow equal but keys will be [].

It means that the b run happened with different state or parameters (mostly params, based on your example). That shouldn't be the case for this warning, as it only makes sense with the same state/params.

Oh that's true, I've been overthinking it 🙂 Running the mapSelect callback twice with the same state shouldn't produce objects like this unless you're doing it on purpose.
