/** | |
* Deep diff between two objects - i.e. an object with the new value of new & changed fields. | |
* Removed fields will be set as undefined on the result. | |
* Only plain objects will be deeply compared (@see _.isPlainObject) | |
* | |
* Inspired by: https://gist.github.com/Yimiprod/7ee176597fef230d1451#gistcomment-2565071 | |
* This fork: https://gist.github.com/TeNNoX/5125ab5770ba287012316dd62231b764/ | |
* | |
* @param {Object} base Object to compare with (if falsy we return object) | |
* @param {Object} object Object compared | |
* @return {Object} Return a new object who represent the changed & new values | |
