### getListDiff()
output
```js
import { getListDiff } from "@donedeal0/superdiff";
```
Compares two arrays and returns a diff for each value:
- index change: `prevIndex`, `newIndex`, `indexDiff`
- `showOnly` gives you the option to return only the values whose status you are interested in (e.g. `["added", "equal"]`).
output
- `referenceProperty` will consider an object to be updated instead of added or deleted if one of its properties remains stable, such as its `id`. This option has no effect on other datatypes.
- `ignoreArrayOrder`: if set to `true`, `["hello", "world"]` and `["world", "hello"]` will be treated as `equal`, because the two arrays have the same value, just not in the same order.

import { streamListDiff } from "@donedeal0/superdiff";

Streams the diff of two object lists, ideal for large lists and maximum performance.

```ts
getObjectDiff(
prevList: T[],

nextList: T[],
id: 54,
referenceProperty: ReferenceProperty<T>,

showOnly?: returns only the values whose status you are interested in. (e.g. `["added", "equal"]`), // [] by default

chunksSize?: number, // // 0 by default

```
- `prevList`: the original object list.
- `nextList`: the new object list.
- `referenceProperty`: a common property in all the objects of your lists (e.g. `id`).
- `options`
- `chunksSize` the number of object diffs returned by each stream chunk. If set to `0`, each stream will return a single object diff. If set to `10` each stream will return 10 object diffs.
- `showOnly` gives you the option to return only the values whose status you are interested in (e.g. `["added", "equal"]`).
- `considerMoveAsUpdate`: if set to `true` the `moved` value will be considered as `updated`.
