True if this and the other Collection have value equality, as defined
by Immutable.is()
.
Note: This is equivalent to Immutable.is(this, other)
, but provided to
allow for chained expressions.
Computes and returns the hashed identity for this Collection.
The hashCode
of a Collection is used to determine potential equality,
and is used when adding this to a Set
or as a key in a Map
, enabling
lookup via a different instance.
const { List, Set } = require('immutable');
const a = List([ 1, 2, 3 ]);
const b = List([ 1, 2, 3 ]);
assert.notStrictEqual(a, b); // different instances
const set = Set([ a ]);
assert.equal(set.has(b), true);
Note: hashCode() MUST return a Uint32 number. The easiest way to
guarantee this is to return myHash | 0
from a custom implementation.
If two values have the same hashCode
, they are not guaranteed
to be equal. If two values have different hashCode
s,
they must not be equal.
Note: hashCode()
is not guaranteed to always be called before
equals()
. Most but not all Immutable.js collections use hash codes to
organize their internal data structures, while all Immutable.js
collections use equality during lookups.
