Executing Pretty Diff

Run with Node.js / CommonJS / RequireJS

A Node.js command line utility is provided by api/node-local.js. This file can execute in the following modes:

• auto - Determine if the resource is text, a file, or a directory and process as such (except that directories are processed with the subdirectory option)
• screen - code input is on the command line and output is to the command line
• filescreen - code input is in a file and the output is to the command line
• file - the input and the output reside in files
• directory - everything in a directory is processed into a specified output directory except ".", "..", and subdirectories
• subdirectory - process the entire directory tree

Execute in the context of a NodeJS application

Add this code to your application

var prettydiff = require("prettydiff"),
    args       = {
        source: "asdf",
        diff  : "asdd",
        lang  : "text"
    },
    output     = prettydiff(args);

Execute from the command line

Run in windows

node api/node-local.js source:"c:\myDirectory" readmethod:"subdirectory" diff:"c:\myOtherDirectory"

Run in Linux and OSX

node api/node-local.js source:"myDirectory" mode:"beautify" readmethod:"subdirectory" output:"path/to/outputDirectory"

To see a man page provide no arguments or these: help, man, manual

node api/node-local.js h
node api/node-local.js help
node api/node-local.js man
node api/node-local.js manual

To see only the version number supply only v or version as an argument:

node api/node-local.js v
node api/node-local.js version

To see a list of current settings on the console supply list as an argument:

node api/node-local.js l
node api/node-local.js list

Set configurations with a .prettydiffrc file.

Pretty Diff will first look for a .prettydiffrc file from the current directory in the command prompt. If the .prettydiffrc is not present in the current directory it will then look for it in the application's directory.

The .prettydiffrc first checks for JSON format. This allows a simple means of defining options in a file. It also allows a JavaScript application format so that options can be set conditionally.

Run in a web browser with api/dom.js

Please feel free to use index.xhtml file to supplement dom.js. Otherwise, dom.js requires supplemental assistance to map DOM nodes from an HTML source. dom.js is fault tolerant so nodes mapped to the supplied index.xhtml don't need to be supported from custom HTML.

To run Pretty Diff using dom.js include the following two script tags and bind the global.prettydiff.pd.recycle() function to the executing event. Please refer to index.xhtml for an HTML example and documentation.xhtml for option and execution information.

<script src="lib/global.js" type="application/javascript"></script>
<script src="lib/language.js" type="application/javascript"></script>
<script src="lib/options.js" type="application/javascript"></script>
<script src="lib/finalFile.js" type="application/javascript"></script>
<script src="lib/safeSort.js" type="application/javascript"></script>
<script src="ace/ace.js" type="application/javascript"></script> **(optional)**
<script src="api/dom.js" type="application/javascript"></script>
<script src="lib/csspretty.js" type="application/javascript"></script>
<script src="lib/csvpretty.js" type="application/javascript"></script>
<script src="lib/diffview.js" type="application/javascript"></script>
<script src="lib/jspretty.js" type="application/javascript"></script>
<script src="lib/markuppretty.js" type="application/javascript"></script>
<script src="prettydiff.js" type="application/javascript"></script>

Execute with vanilla JS

var global = {},
    args   = {
        source: "asdf",
        diff  : "asdd",
        lang  : "text"
    },
    output = prettydiff(args);
