How to use

Pretty HTML diff

Diff2Html.getPrettyHtml(exInput, configuration)

Intermediate Json From Git Word Diff Output

Diff2Html.getJsonFromDiff(exInput)

Check out the index.html for a complete example.

Configuration

The HTML output accepts a Javascript object with configuration. Possible options:

• inputFormat: the format of the input data: 'diff' or 'json', default is 'diff'
• outputFormat: the format of the output data: 'line-by-line' or 'side-by-side', default is 'line-by-line'
• showFiles: show a file list before the diff: true or false, default is false
• matching: matching level: 'lines' for matching lines, 'words' for matching lines and words or 'none', default is none
• matchWordsThreshold: similarity threshold for word matching, default is 0.25

Syntax Highlight

Add the dependencies. Choose one color scheme, and add the main highlight code. If your favourite language is not included in the default package also add its javascript highlight file.

Invoke the highlightjs plugin

document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function () {
    // parse the diff to json
    var diffJson = Diff2Html.getJsonFromDiff(lineDiffExample);

    // collect all the file extensions in the json
    var allFileLanguages = diffJson.map(function (line) {
        return line.language;
    });

    // remove duplicated languages
    var distinctLanguages = allFileLanguages.filter(function (v, i) {
        return allFileLanguages.indexOf(v) == i;
    });

    // pass the languages to the highlightjs plugin
    hljs.configure({languages: distinctLanguages});

    // generate and inject the diff HTML into the desired place
    document.getElementById("line-by-line").innerHTML = Diff2Html.getPrettyHtml(diffJson, { inputFormat: 'json' });
    document.getElementById("side-by-side").innerHTML = Diff2Html.getPrettyHtml(diffJson, { inputFormat: 'json', outputFormat: 'side-by-side' });

    // collect all the code lines and execute the highlight on them
    var codeLines = document.getElementsByClassName("d2h-code-line-ctn");
    [].forEach.call(codeLines, function (line) {
        hljs.highlightBlock(line);
    });
});
