Find difference between two arrays

const difference = (a, b) => {
  const s = new Set(b);
  return a.filter(x => !s.has(x));
};

difference([1, 2, 3], [1, 2, 4]); // [3]

This method returns the difference between two arrays, after applying a given function to each element of both lists

const differenceBy = (a, b, fn) => {
  const s = new Set(b.map(fn));
  return a.filter(x => !s.has(fn(x)));
};

differenceBy([2.1, 1.2], [2.3, 3.4], Math.floor); // [1.2]
differenceBy([{ x: 2 }, { x: 1 }], [{ x: 1 }], v => v.x); // [{ x: 2 }]

This snippet removes the values for which the comparator function returns false

const differenceWith = (arr, val, comp) => arr.filter(a => val.findIndex(b => comp(a, b)) === -1);

differenceWith([1, 1.2, 1.5, 3, 0], [1.9, 3, 0], (a, b) => Math.round(a) === Math.round(b));
// [1, 1.2]
