Committing an update to the Datadiff API

In this example a customer has just updated their account.

var Datadiff = require('datadiff'),
    diff = new Datadiff({key: '**********', secret: '**********'});

...

// update account object
account.update(data, function(err, acc) {
	
	if(err) {
		// handle error
	}
	
	diff.commit(acc.toObject(), 'accounts', 'updated', '_id', {action: 'updated account', src: 'accounts page on software'});
	
});
