NOTE: This is a fork of Pranesh Ravi's react-diff-viewer with added hooks and features that allow for more fluid multilline selection and enable commenting.

A simple and beautiful text diff viewer component made with Diff and React.

Inspired from Github diff viewer, it includes features like split view, inline view, word diff, line highlight and more. It is highly customizable and it supports almost all languages.

Install

yarn add @chunxei/react-diff-viewer

npm i @chunxei/react-diff-viewer

Usage

import React, { PureComponent } from 'react';
import ReactDiffViewer from '@chunxei/react-diff-viewer';

const oldCode = `
const a = 10
const b = 10
const c = () => console.log('foo')

if(a > 10) {
  console.log('bar')
}

console.log('done')
`;

const newCode = `
const a = 10
const boo = 10

if(a === 10) {
  console.log('bar')
}
`;

class Diff extends PureComponent {
  render = () => {
    return (
      <ReactDiffViewer
        oldValue={oldCode}
        newValue={newCode}

Props

PropTypeDefaultDescription
oldValuestring''Old value as string.
newValuestring''New value as string.
splitViewbooleantrueSwitch between unified and split view.
disableWordDiffbooleanfalseShow and hide word diff in a diff line.
compareMethodDiffMethodDiffMethod.CHARSJsDiff text diff method used for diffing strings. Check out the guide to use different methods.

highlightLinesarray[string][]List of lines to be highlighted. Works together with onLineNumberClick. Line number are prefixed with L and R for the left and right section of the diff viewer, respectively. For example, L-20 means 20th line in the left pane. To highlight a range of line numbers, pass the prefixed line number as an array. For example, [L-2, L-3, L-4, L-5] will highlight the lines 2-5 in the left pane.
showDiffOnlybooleantrueShows only the diffed lines and folds the unchanged lines

Added from v3.2.0

PropTypeDefaultDescription
onHighlightLinesfunctionundefined(highlightedLines: string[], prefix: string) => void. Event handler triggered when lines are highlighted in a batch, such as when a comment that references a set of lines is clicked.
onClearHighlightsfunctionundefined() => void. Event handler for when the clear button is clicked. Expected to trigger a wipe for highlightLines.

Each comment object must contain a commentLines: string[] field that holds the line ids of the lines the comment is for, a commentLabel: string field holding the label to be displayed on the comment button, and a isUrgent: boolean field to style the button with the _urgent class.
onCommentClick*functionundefined(comment: Record<string, any>, commentLines: string[], prefix: string) => void. Event handler for comment click.
onAddNewCommentStart*functionundefined(selectedLines: string[], prefix: string) => void. Returns a function with highlighted lines in the closure.

Instance Methods

resetCodeBlocks() - Resets the expanded code blocks to it's initial state. Return true on successful reset and false during unsuccessful reset.

Syntax Highlighting

Syntax highlighting is a bit tricky when combined with diff. Here, React Diff Viewer provides a simple render prop API to handle syntax highlighting. Use renderContent(content: string) => JSX.Element and your favorite syntax highlighting library to achieve this.

An example using Prism JS

// Load Prism CSS
<link
  href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/prism/1.15.0/prism.min.css"
/>

// Load Prism JS
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/prism/1.15.0/prism.min.js"></script>
import React, { PureComponent } from 'react';
import ReactDiffViewer from '@chunxei/react-diff-viewer';

const oldCode = `
const a = 10
const b = 10
const c = () => console.log('foo')

if(a > 10) {
  console.log('bar')
}

console.log('done')
`;

const newCode = `
const a = 10
const boo = 10

if(a === 10) {
  console.log('bar')
}
`;

class Diff extends PureComponent {
  highlightSyntax = str => (
    <pre
      style={{ display: 'inline' }}
      dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{
        __html: Prism.highlight(str, Prism.languages.javascript),
      }}
    />
  );

  render = () => {
    return (
      <ReactDiffViewer
        oldValue={oldCode}
        newValue={newCode}
        splitView={true}
        renderContent={this.highlightSyntax}
      />
    );
  };
}

Text block diff comparison

Different styles of text block diffing are possible by using the enums corresponding to variou JsDiff methods (learn more). The supported methods are as follows.

enum DiffMethod {
  CHARS = 'diffChars',
  WORDS = 'diffWords',
  WORDS_WITH_SPACE = 'diffWordsWithSpace',
  LINES = 'diffLines',
  TRIMMED_LINES = 'diffTrimmedLines',
  SENTENCES = 'diffSentences',
  CSS = 'diffCss',
}
import React, { PureComponent } from 'react';
import ReactDiffViewer, { DiffMethod } from '@chunxei/react-diff-viewer';

const oldCode = `
{
  "name": "Original name",
  "description": null
}
`;

const newCode = `
{
  "name": "My updated name",
  "description": "Brand new description",
  "status": "running"
}
`;

class Diff extends PureComponent {
  render = () => {
    return (
      <ReactDiffViewer
        oldValue={oldCode}
        newValue={newCode}
        compareMethod={DiffMethod.WORDS}
        splitView={true}
      />
    );
  };
}

Overriding Styles

React Diff Viewer uses emotion for styling. It also offers a simple way to override styles and style variables. You can supply different variables for both light and dark themes. Styles will be common for both themes.

Below are the default style variables and style object keys.

// Default variables and style keys

const defaultStyles = {
  variables: {
    light: {
      diffViewerBackground: '#fff',
      diffViewerColor: '#212529',
      addedBackground: '#e6ffed',
      addedColor: '#24292e',
      removedBackground: '#ffeef0',
      removedColor: '#24292e',
      wordAddedBackground: '#acf2bd',
      wordRemovedBackground: '#fdb8c0',
      addedGutterBackground: '#cdffd8',
      removedGutterBackground: '#ffdce0',
      gutterBackground: '#f7f7f7',
      gutterBackgroundDark: '#f3f1f1',
      highlightBackground: '#fffbdd',
      highlightGutterBackground: '#fff5b1',
      codeFoldGutterBackground: '#dbedff',
      codeFoldBackground: '#f1f8ff',
      emptyLineBackground: '#fafbfc',

      diffViewerColor: '#FFF',
      addedBackground: '#044B53',
      addedColor: 'white',
      removedBackground: '#632F34',
      removedColor: 'white',

      gutterColor: '#464c67',
      addedGutterColor: '#8c8c8c',
      removedGutterColor: '#8c8c8c',
      codeFoldContentColor: '#555a7b',
      diffViewerTitleBackground: '#2f323e',
      diffViewerTitleColor: '#555a7b',
      diffViewerTitleBorderColor: '#353846',
    }
  },

}

To override any style, just pass the new style object to the styles prop. New style will be computed using Object.assign(default, override).

For keys other than variables, the value can either be an object or string interpolation.

import React, { PureComponent } from 'react';

      line: {
        padding: '10px 2px',
        '&:hover': {
          background: '#a26ea1',
        },
      },
    };

    return (
      <ReactDiffViewer

        oldValue={oldCode}
        newValue={newCode}
        splitView={true}
        renderContent={this.highlightSyntax}
      />
    );
