This is my first question in this forum. I was trying to build a small utility function to check if array is part of other array.
Testing if an array is subset of another master array.
const masterArray = [1,2,3,4,5,6];
const candidateArray = [2,5,6];
//Test for subset.
//create a set from the two.
const s1 = new Set(masterArray.concat(candidateArray));
//Compare the sizes of the master array and the created set
//If the sizes are same, no new elements are added that means
//the candidate is complete subset.
s1.size === masterArray.length;
Can this be handled in a better way?

Wouldn't that fail ifmasterArrayhas duplicate elements?

Good point. In my case the master array is always unique.

I can enhance it by comparing with a new set created from master array(new Set(masterArray)).size
