diff-for-html-text v0.0.1

Diff for HTML

Diff for HTML is a JavaScript library for comparing two blocks of HTML as plain text and efficiently return a list of differences.

• Diff-Match-Params Based: We found that using Google's library is extremely incovenient for this use. So we took the liberty of improving this to work with HTML.
• Write Anywhere: You can use this on the front-end as well as the back-end.

Installation

Go to the root of your project and run: npm i diff-for-html-text

Or if you use yarn: yarn add diff-for-html-text

Examples

I'll try to update here more examples. Here is the first one to get you started:

import { diff_html } from 'diff-for-html-text'

const html1 = '<p>I love this module</p>'
const html2 = "<p>I love this module, it's awesome</p>"

console.log(diff_html(html1, html2))

Expected output:

[
  [ 0, '<p>I love this module' ],
  [ 1, ", it's awesome" ],
  [ 0, '</p>' ]
]
