✅ Examples of correct code for this rule
if (
  prevObj.prop === currObj.prop &&
  prevObj.arr.length === currObj.arr.length &&
  prevObj.arr.every(
    (prevItem, i) =>
      prevItem.x === currObj.arr[i].x && prevItem.y === currObj.arr[i].y
  )
) {
  // ...
}
if (isEqual(prevObj, currObj)) {
  // ...
}

function isEqual<T>(a: T, b: T): boolean {
  return JSON.stringify(a) === JSON.stringify(b);
