difflet

difflet
=======

Create colorful diffs for javascript objects.

example
=======

string.js
---------

`` js
var difflet = require('difflet');

var s = difflet.compare({ a : 2, c : 5 }, { a : 3, b : 4 });
process.stdout.write(s);
`

output:

!colorful output

colors.js
---------

` js
var diff = require('difflet')({ indent : 2 });

var prev = {
yy : 6,
zz : 5,
a : [1,2,3],
fn : 'beep',
c : { x : 7, z : 3 }
};

var next = {
a : [ 1, 2, "z", /beep/, new Buffer(3) ],
fn : function qqq () {},
b : [5,6,7],
c : { x : 8, y : 5 }
};

diff(prev, next).pipe(process.stdout);
`

output:

!colorful output

green for inserts, blue for updates, red for deletes

methods
=======

var difflet = require('difflet')

var diff = difflet(opts={})
---------------------------

Create a difflet from optional options opts.

With opts.start(type, stream) and opts.stop(type, stream),
you can write custom handlers for all the types of differences:
'inserted', 'updated', and 'deleted'.
By default green is used for insertions, blue for updates, and red for
deletions.

If opts.indent is set, output will span multiple lines and opts.indent
spaces will be used for leading whitespace.

If opts.comma === 'first' then commas will be placed at the start of lines.

Setting opts.comment to true will turn on comments with the previous
contents like this:

Setting opts.deepEqual allows a different equality function to be used. By default
deep-is is used.

!object comments

diff(prev, next)
----------------

Return a stream with the colorful changes between objects prev and next.

diff.compare(prev, next)
------------------------

Return a string with the colorful changes between prev and next.

difflet.compare(prev, next)
---------------------------

Return a string with the colorful changes between prev and next with the
default options.
