FineDiff

Originally written by Raymond Hill (https://github.com/gorhill/PHP-FineDiff) FineDiff has been tweaked to bring it up to date with the modern world. That means documented, nicely formatted, tested code that can be easily extended.

Installation

Composer

The preferred way of using FineDiff is through Composer.

Add the following to your composer.json file:

{
    "require": {
        "cogpowered/finediff": "0.3.*"
    }
}

Upgrading

0.3.x introduces a backwards incompatible version, so if you have stored opcodes do not upgrade!

0.3.x fixes a double encoding issue that generates a longer opcode than is needed.

Usage

Render HTML

Render as HTML the difference between two strings:

$diff = new cogpowered\FineDiff\Diff;
echo $diff->render('string one', 'string two');

This would then output:

string <ins>tw</ins>o<del>ne</del>

You could change the granularity to cogpowered\FineDiff\Granularity\Word so the output is:

string <del>one</del><ins>two</ins>

You do this by passing it into the Diff constructor:

$granularity = new cogpowered\FineDiff\Granularity\Word;
$diff        = new cogpowered\FineDiff\Diff($granularity);

Grab opcode instructions

Opcode instructions are what tell FineDiff how to change one string into another.

$diff = new cogpowered\FineDiff\Diff;
echo $diff->getOpcodes('string one', 'string two');

This would then output:

c7d3i3:two

Render text using the opcodes:

$render = new cogpowered\FineDiff\Render\Text;
echo $render->process('string one', 'c7d3i3:two');

Would output:

string two

Same with HTML:

$render = new cogpowered\FineDiff\Render\Html;
echo $render->process('string one', 'c7d3i3:two');
