CLI installation & usage

Current limitations:

  • output always written to stdout only
  • only single theme available for now (easy to add new ones, PRs welcome!)
npx @thi.ng/hdiff

# any text files
npx hdiff file-a.txt file-b.txt > diff.html

# git revisions for given file (in local repo)
# rev can be any commit-ish ID understood by git (sha1, tag, etc.)
npx hdiff rel-file-path rev1 rev2 > diff.html

# example
npx hdiff packages/webgl/src/shader.ts develop~500 HEAD > diff.html

API

Generated API docs

computeDiff()

Signature: computeDiff(a: string, b: string) => any[]

Takes two strings and performs line-based diff, then formats result as tree of HTML elements in @thi.ng/hiccup format.

The generated format only uses the following data attributes:

  • data-diff: diff status for each code line ("+", "-" or " ")
  • data-lnum: formatted line number for each code line
  • data-fold: indicates folded pre-block
  • data-fold-range: line number range string

generateHtml()

Signature: generateHtml(header: any[], body: any[], theme: Theme) => string

Takes two hiccup trees for header and body and an optional theme. Compiles theme into CSS, serializes hiccup trees and returns complete HTML document as string.

compileTheme()

Signature: compileTheme(theme: Theme) => string

Compiles a theme config into a complete CSS stylesheet string (using @thi.ng/hiccup-css).
