Mergely

http://mergely.com

Mergely is a javascript component to diff/merge files interactively in a browser, providing rich API that enables you to easily integrate Mergely into your existing web application. It is suitable for comparing text files online, e.g. .txt, .html, .xml, .c, .cpp, .java, etc. Mergely has a javascript implementation of the Longest Common Subsequence diff algorithm (LCS) and a customizable markup engine.

Installation

Installation via webpack

The recommended way to install mergely is to use npm and webpack to install mergely and its dependencies. It is highly recommended that you start by cloning mergely-webpack. It has everything that you need to get started.

Angular 6.1.1

You can also use mergely within angular. You can start by cloning mergely-angular.

Installation via .tgz

Unpack mergely.tgz into a folder, e.g. ./lib, and then add the following to the <head> of your target html source file.

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/codemirror/5.32.0/codemirror.min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" media="all" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/codemirror/5.32.0/codemirror.css" />
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/codemirror/5.32.0/addon/search/searchcursor.min.js"></script>
<script src="lib/mergely/lib/mergely.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" media="all" href="lib/mergely/lib/mergely.css" />

Create a div for the editor in <body>. This example uses a style that provides 8px padding (mergely-full-screen-8):

<div class="mergely-full-screen-8">
  <div class="mergely-resizer">
    <div id="mergely"></div>
  </div>
</div>

Then initialize mergely, setting options as required.

$(document).ready(function () {
    $('#mergely').mergely();
});

Synchronous content initialization

The following example can be used to set the lhs and rhs editors synchronously (i.e. their contents are already known):

$(document).ready(function () {
    // set editor content
    $('#mergely').mergely({
        lhs: function(setValue) {
            setValue('the quick red fox\njumped over the hairy dog');
        },
        rhs: function(setValue) {
            setValue('the quick brown fox\njumped over the lazy dog');
        }
    });
});

Aynchronous initialization

If the editor contents are retrieved asynchronously (recommended), then retrieve the editor contents and set them:

$(document).ready(function () {
    // initialize mergely
    $('#mergely').mergely();
    
    // get async lhsResponse, then set lhs value
    $('#mergely').mergely('lhs', lhsResponse);
    
    // get async rhsResponse, then set rhs value
    $('#mergely').mergely('rhs', rhsResponse);
});
