Tool usage guide
This tool uses lodash's _.difference method to filter out values from a source array that are present in one or more exclude arrays, returning a unique array of values not found in the excludes.
Background
You maintain a list of active user IDs and need to remove those on a temporary ban list.
Problem
Manually checking and removing banned IDs is inefficient and error-prone.
How to use
Enter the source array of user IDs and the exclude array of banned IDs in the tool.
Source: [101, 102, 103, 104], Exclude: [102, 104]Outcome
The tool returns [101, 103], which are the active user IDs not banned.
Background
An online store has a master list of products and wants to identify out-of-stock items based on current inventory.
Problem
Cross-referencing large product lists manually is time-consuming.
How to use
Input the master product array and the inventory array as the exclude array.
Outcome
A list of products not in inventory, indicating items that need restocking.
It removes values from a source array that are present in one or more exclude arrays using lodash's _.difference method.
All arrays must be in valid JSON format, such as [1, 2, 3] or ['a', 'b', 'c'].
Yes, you can use up to three exclude arrays to filter out values from the source array.
When enabled, string comparisons are case-sensitive; disable it for case-insensitive matching.
The output array contains unique values, as lodash's difference function handles duplicates by returning only distinct values not in the excludes.
