Show result for all possible diffs

[i4got10]

For example, arrays diff looks like
undefined "zones.items" undefined " → " undefined
right now(then items was appended to collection)

Oh, right, need better support for array. Will fix asap.

It would be very good if you will set some test environment and make some tests. It can help other people to send PRs to help you and test your code in isolation.

I experimenting, but deep-diff has a little bit weird array support.
For example, it shows new & deleted as nested DeepDiff (and it's very handy), but change looks like object change and it's not good.

I will investigate tomorrow, but I released 0.5.0 with better (than nothing) support for arrays.

[imevro]

Good news.
I found recursive-diff which works very good (but has 1 small bug, representing nested object as [Object], not actually object). Will release 0.1.0 today.

"today" :D As a fellow OSS author, I know how off time estimates can be.

(great work on https://github.com/fcomb/redux-logger btw)

[imevro]

@ericclemmons oh, yes, I tried to build correct implementation but haven't enough time for this :(
I hope I will return ASAP to this module.

Diff stuff is hard :) There are two libs that I've referenced for solving this problem:

1. https://github.com/benjamine/jsondiffpatch
2. https://github.com/flitbit/diff

Hopefully one of those may help!

@theaqua any luck with this issue? jsondiffpatch looks very promissing
