little-diff v1.0.4
little-diff
A tiny module to get a big difference.
Lightning fast string and array get and apply diff library. The module file is less than 350 bytes compressed and gzipped.
Install
npm install little-diffUsage
A browser build is available in the dist directory. Otherwise, use the ./index.js module file which exports getDelta, applyDelta, and LittleDiff (which just has getDelta, applyDelta as methods).
getDelta(source:string | Array, target:string | Array)
Returns an array of arrays of the form [start:number, end:number, items:Array|undefined]. These are effectively splice operations that when applied in sequence will transfrom the source into the target. This is what makes the library small and fast. It is very close to native JavaScript.
applyDelta(source: string | Array, delta: Array)
Applies the delta to return a target. The return type will be the same as the source type.
See the file ./exmaple.js.
