npm package (browser and nodejs) for https://github.com/google/diff-match-patch/javascript
When importing the JS file from npm pacakge https://www.npmjs.com/package/diff-match-patch in a browser, it gives error: "Uncaught ReferenceError: module is not defined at index.js:2186", this motivated me to develop this package.
npm install diff-match-patch-js-browser-and-nodejs
diff_match_uncompressed.js is the human-readable version. This should be used by developers and Node.js.
diff_match_patch.js has been compressed using Google's Closure Compiler on 'simple' mode. This reduces the size to 25% of the uncompressed version.
The JavaScript version has no dependencies. It works in Netscape 4, Internet Explorer 5.5, and all browsers released since the year 2000 (the limiting factor is the use of the encodeURI function).
Tests Unit tests can be performed by pointing a web browser at tests/diff_match_patch_test.html. Over a hundred tests should run, with zero failures.
Speed test for diff can be performed by pointing a web browser at tests/speedtest.html and pressing "Compute Diff".
Hello World Here's a minimal example of a diff in JavaScript:
<html>
<body>
<script src="diff_match_patch.js"></script>
<script>
var dmp = new diff_match_patch();
var diff = dmp.diff_main('Hello World.', 'Goodbye World.');
// Result: [(-1, "Hell"), (1, "G"), (0, "o"), (1, "odbye"), (0, " World.")]
dmp.diff_cleanupSemantic(diff);
// Result: [(-1, "Hello"), (1, "Goodbye"), (0, " World.")]
alert(diff);
</script>
</body>
</html>
Save the above as an HTML file in the javascript directory, then open the file in any web browser.
