compareDeterministically()

Signature

function compareDeterministically<T>(
  a: EventEnvelope<T>,
  b: EventEnvelope<T>,
  tieBreaker?: TieBreaker<T>,
): number

Use this when stronger causal proof is unavailable but you still need deterministic fallback ordering over event envelopes.

Usage

import { compareDeterministically } from "causal-order"

const result = compareDeterministically(eventA, eventB, "event_id")

console.log(result)

Details

• Use this when stronger causal proof is unavailable but you still need stable fallback ordering.
• The return value is a comparator-style number suitable for deterministic ordering decisions.
