@MomsFriendlyDevCo/Patch
========================
Simple object patching.

This module is designed to compare two objects and return the differences between them in a third, patchable, object.

**Features:**
* Simple, fast, ES6 compatible object patching
* Arrays are treated as atomic - any change within them copies the entire array
* Various complex built-in types can be treated as simple scalars (Dates, Sets etc.)
* Functions for comparison or deep cloning can be customized
* Does not mutate A or B

```javascript
import {patch} from '@momsfriendlydevco/patch';

let a = {
foo: 'Foo!',
bar: 'Bar!',
quz: [1, 2, 3],
quark: {one: 1, two: 2},
plugh: '123', // Wont be picked up as we're patching A against B
};

let b = {
foo: 'Foo!',
quz: [1, 2, 3, 4],
quark: {two: 'two'},
flarp: {uno: 1},
};

console.log( patch(a, b) ) //=
let c = {
quz: [1, 2, 3, 4],
quark: {two: 'two'},
flarp: {uno: 1},
}
```

patch(a, b, options)
--------------------
Return a third, patch, object for the differences of B against A.

Options can be:

| Option | Type | Default | Description |
|-------------|------------|----------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------|
| `default` | `*` | `{}` | Value to return if the source object is exactly the same |
| `scalars` | `Array` | `[Buffer, Date, Map, Set]` | Meta objects to treat as a single value |
| `isEqual` | `Function` | `_.isEqual` | Equality tester |
| `cloneDeep` | `Function` | `_.cloneDeep` | Deep cloner used for arrays |
