Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Install

yarn add react-diff-viewer

# or

npm i react-diff-viewer

Usage

import React, { PureComponent } from 'react';
import ReactDiffViewer from 'react-diff-viewer';

const oldCode = `
const a = 10
const b = 10
const c = () => console.log('foo')

if(a > 10) {
  console.log('bar')
}

console.log('done')
`;
const newCode = `
const a = 10
const boo = 10

if(a === 10) {
  console.log('bar')
}
`;

class Diff extends PureComponent {
  render = () => {
    return (
      <ReactDiffViewer oldValue={oldCode} newValue={newCode} splitView={true} />
    );
  };
}

Props

| Prop | Type | Default | Description | | ------------------------- | --------------- | ------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | oldValue | string | '' | Old value as string. | | newValue | string | '' | New value as string. | | splitView | boolean | true | Switch between unified and split view. | | disableWordDiff | boolean | false | Show and hide word diff in a diff line. | | compareMethod | DiffMethod | DiffMethod.CHARS | JsDiff text diff method used for diffing strings. Check out the guide to use different methods. | | hideLineNumbers | boolean | false | Show and hide line numbers. | | renderContent | function | undefined | Render Prop API to render code in the diff viewer. Helpful for syntax highlighting | | onLineNumberClick | function | undefined | Event handler for line number click. (lineId: string) => void | | highlightLines | array[string] | [] | List of lines to be highlighted. Works together with onLineNumberClick. Line number are prefixed with L and R for the left and right section of the diff viewer, respectively. For example, L-20 means 20th line in the left pane. To highlight a range of line numbers, pass the prefixed line number as an array. For example, [L-2, L-3, L-4, L-5] will highlight the lines 2-5 in the left pane. | | showDiffOnly | boolean | true | Shows only the diffed lines and folds the unchanged lines | | extraLinesSurroundingDiff | number | 3 | Number of extra unchanged lines surrounding the diff. Works along with showDiffOnly. | | codeFoldMessageRenderer | function | Expand {number} of lines ... | Render Prop API to render code fold message. | | styles | object | {} | To override style variables and styles. Learn more about overriding styles | | useDarkTheme | boolean | true | To enable/disable dark theme. | | leftTitle | string | undefined | Column title for left section of the diff in split view. This will be used as the only title in inline view. | | rightTitle | string | undefined | Column title for right section of the diff in split view. This will be ignored in inline view. | | linesOffset | number | 0 | Number to start count code lines from. |

Instance Methods

resetCodeBlocks() - Resets the expanded code blocks to it's initial state. Return true on successful reset and false during unsuccessful reset.

Syntax Highlighting

Syntax highlighting is a bit tricky when combined with diff. Here, React Diff Viewer provides a simple render prop API to handle syntax highlighting. Use renderContent(content: string) => JSX.Element and your favorite syntax highlighting library to achieve this.

An example using Prism JS

// Load Prism CSS
<link
  href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/prism/1.15.0/prism.min.css"
/>

// Load Prism JS
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/prism/1.15.0/prism.min.js"></script>
import React, { PureComponent } from 'react';
import ReactDiffViewer from 'react-diff-viewer';

const oldCode = `
const a = 10
const b = 10
const c = () => console.log('foo')

if(a > 10) {
  console.log('bar')
}

console.log('done')
`;
const newCode = `
const a = 10
const boo = 10

if(a === 10) {
  console.log('bar')
}
`;

class Diff extends PureComponent {
  highlightSyntax = str => (
    <pre
      style={{ display: 'inline' }}
      dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{
        __html: Prism.highlight(str, Prism.languages.javascript),
      }}
    />
  );

  render = () => {
    return (
      <ReactDiffViewer
        oldValue={oldCode}
        newValue={newCode}
        splitView={true}
        renderContent={this.highlightSyntax}
      />
    );
  };
}

Text block diff comparison

Different styles of text block diffing are possible by using the enums corresponding to variou JsDiff methods (learn more). The supported methods are as follows.

enum DiffMethod {
  CHARS = 'diffChars',
  WORDS = 'diffWords',
  WORDS_WITH_SPACE = 'diffWordsWithSpace',
  LINES = 'diffLines',
  TRIMMED_LINES = 'diffTrimmedLines',
  SENTENCES = 'diffSentences',
  CSS = 'diffCss',
}
import React, { PureComponent } from 'react';
import ReactDiffViewer, { DiffMethod } from 'react-diff-viewer';

const oldCode = `
{
  "name": "Original name",
  "description": null
}
`;
const newCode = `
{
  "name": "My updated name",
  "description": "Brand new description",
  "status": "running"
}
`;

class Diff extends PureComponent {
  render = () => {
    return (
      <ReactDiffViewer
        oldValue={oldCode}
        newValue={newCode}
        compareMethod={DiffMethod.WORDS}
        splitView={true}
      />
    );
  };
}

Overriding Styles

React Diff Viewer uses emotion for styling. It also offers a simple way to override styles and style variables. You can supply different variables for both light and dark themes. Styles will be common for both themes.

Below are the default style variables and style object keys.


// Default variables and style keys

const defaultStyles = {
  variables: {
    light: {
      diffViewerBackground: '#fff',
      diffViewerColor: '#212529',
      addedBackground: '#e6ffed',
      addedColor: '#24292e',
      removedBackground: '#ffeef0',
      removedColor: '#24292e',
      wordAddedBackground: '#acf2bd',
      wordRemovedBackground: '#fdb8c0',
      addedGutterBackground: '#cdffd8',
      removedGutterBackground: '#ffdce0',
      gutterBackground: '#f7f7f7',
      gutterBackgroundDark: '#f3f1f1',
      highlightBackground: '#fffbdd',
      highlightGutterBackground: '#fff5b1',
      codeFoldGutterBackground: '#dbedff',
      codeFoldBackground: '#f1f8ff',
      emptyLineBackground: '#fafbfc',
      gutterColor: '#212529',
      addedGutterColor: '#212529',
      removedGutterColor: '#212529',
      codeFoldContentColor: '#212529',
      diffViewerTitleBackground: '#fafbfc',
      diffViewerTitleColor: '#212529',
      diffViewerTitleBorderColor: '#eee',
    },
    dark: {
      diffViewerBackground: '#2e303c',
      diffViewerColor: '#FFF',
      addedBackground: '#044B53',
      addedColor: 'white',
      removedBackground: '#632F34',
      removedColor: 'white',
      wordAddedBackground: '#055d67',
      wordRemovedBackground: '#7d383f',
      addedGutterBackground: '#034148',
      removedGutterBackground: '#632b30',
      gutterBackground: '#2c2f3a',
      gutterBackgroundDark: '#262933',
      highlightBackground: '#2a3967',
      highlightGutterBackground: '#2d4077',
      codeFoldGutterBackground: '#21232b',
      codeFoldBackground: '#262831',
      emptyLineBackground: '#363946',
      gutterColor: '#464c67',
      addedGutterColor: '#8c8c8c',
      removedGutterColor: '#8c8c8c',
      codeFoldContentColor: '#555a7b',
      diffViewerTitleBackground: '#2f323e',
      diffViewerTitleColor: '#555a7b',
      diffViewerTitleBorderColor: '#353846',
    }
  },
  diffContainer?: {}, // style object
  diffRemoved?: {}, // style object
  diffAdded?: {}, // style object
  marker?: {}, // style object
  emptyGutter?: {}, // style object
  highlightedLine?: {}, // style object
  lineNumber?: {}, // style object
  highlightedGutter?: {}, // style object
  contentText?: {}, // style object
  gutter?: {}, // style object
  line?: {}, // style object
  wordDiff?: {}, // style object
  wordAdded?: {}, // style object
  wordRemoved?: {}, // style object
  codeFoldGutter?: {}, // style object
  codeFold?: {}, // style object
  emptyLine?: {}, // style object
  content?: {}, // style object
  titleBlock?: {}, // style object
  splitView?: {}, // style object
}

To override any style, just pass the new style object to the styles prop. New style will be computed using Object.assign(default, override).

For keys other than variables, the value can either be an object or string interpolation.

import React, { PureComponent } from 'react';
import ReactDiffViewer from 'react-diff-viewer';

const oldCode = `
const a = 10
const b = 10
const c = () => console.log('foo')

if(a > 10) {
  console.log('bar')
}

console.log('done')
`;
const newCode = `
const a = 10
const boo = 10

if(a === 10) {
  console.log('bar')
}
`;

class Diff extends PureComponent {
  highlightSyntax = str => (
    <span
      style={{ display: 'inline' }}
      dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{
        __html: Prism.highlight(str, Prism.languages.javascript),
      }}
    />
  );

  render = () => {
    const newStyles = {
      variables: {
        dark: {
          highlightBackground: '#fefed5',
          highlightGutterBackground: '#ffcd3c',
        },
      },
      line: {
        padding: '10px 2px',
        '&:hover': {
          background: '#a26ea1',
        },
      },
    };

    return (
      <ReactDiffViewer
        styles={newStyles}
        oldValue={oldCode}
        newValue={newCode}
        splitView={true}
        renderContent={this.highlightSyntax}
      />
    );
  };
}
