v-code-diff

A code diff display plugin, available for Vue2 / Vue3.

Old Version:

0.x version, latest version 0.3.12 (traditional version, improved based on vue-code-diff, is no longer maintained. We will try to align the functionality of 0.x version in 1.x version and minimize migration cost as much as possible). This project references the following projects, and I would like to express my gratitude to the original authors!

Extend languages

In order to reduce the size of the packaged file, the system only supports the following commonly used languages by default.

plaintext
xml/html
javascript
json
yaml
python
java
bash
sql

If the language you need is not included, you can manually import the relevant language highlighting module.

pnpm add highlight.js

export default {
  components: {
    CodeDiff,
  }

</script>

<template>
  <div>
    <CodeDiff
      old-string="#include <stdio.h>"

Migrate from 0.x version

The v-code-diff 1.x version has features such as reduced packaging size and improved performance compared to the 0.x version. And we will try to align the functions with the 0.x version as much as possible to reduce your migration cost.

Key points:

In the 1.x version, language recognition and highlighting will no longer be automatically performed, you need to manually specify the language type, such as language="python", if not specified, it will default to plaintext and will not be highlighted.
In the 1.x version, due to the fact that rendering and highlighting are performed at the same time, the component events have been removed.
In the 1.x version, the following component properties (Prop) have been changed:
- highlight - removed
- drawFileList - removed
- fileName - rename to "filename"
- newFilename - new
- theme - new

Below is a detailed comparison of the two versions, you can refer to it to complete the migration.

The difference of event.

The component events are no longer provided in the 1.x version as rendering and highlighting are carried out simultaneously.

Event Name	Change Status
before-render	No longer provided
after-render	No longer provided

The difference of prop.

Prop	Description	Change Status
highlight	Control code highlighting	Removed in version 1.x
language	Code language	None
oldString	Old string	None
newString	New string	None
context	The number of lines to separate different parts so that they are not hidden	None
output-format	Display mode	None
diffStyle	Difference style, word-level differences or letter-level differences	None
drawFileList	Display file comparison list	Removed in version 1.x
renderNothingWhenEmpty	Do not render when there is no comparison	Removed in version 1.x
fileName	File name	To be determined, not under development
newFilename		New in version 1. To be determined, not under development
isShowNoChange	Display source code when there is no comparison	Removed as it became the default in version 1.x
trim	Remove blank characters at the beginning and end of the string	None
noDiffLineFeed	Don't diff Windows line feed (CRLF) and Linux line feed (LF)	None
theme	Add dark mode	New in version 1
