Overview ¶

Package textdiff computes line diffs for display: what an edit or write changed in a file, grouped into hunks with a little surrounding context. It has no dependencies and no notion of styling — the chat layer builds diffs from tool calls and the render layer paints them.

Types ¶

type Diff ¶

type Diff struct {
	Lines   []Line
	Added   int
	Removed int
}

Diff is a displayable diff: its rows (hunks separated by Gap rows) and the total count of added and removed lines.

func Compute ¶

func Compute(old, new string, ctx int) Diff

Compute diffs old against new line by line and groups the result into hunks with ctx lines of context on each side. A negative ctx keeps every unchanged line (no Gap rows).

func Fragment ¶

func Fragment(old, new string) Diff

Fragment diffs two snippets whose position in the file is unknown — an edit's old and new strings when the file itself could not be read. Every line is kept and line numbers are cleared, so a renderer shows no number gutter rather than numbers that would be wrong.

func (Diff) Empty ¶

func (d Diff) Empty() bool

Empty reports whether the diff changes nothing.

type Kind ¶

type Kind int

Kind classifies one line of a diff.

const (
	Context Kind = iota // unchanged line shown around a change
	Add                 // line present only in the new text
	Del                 // line present only in the old text
	Gap                 // elided run of unchanged lines between two hunks
)

type Line ¶

type Line struct {
	Kind  Kind
	OldNo int
	NewNo int
	Text  string
}

Line is one displayed row of a diff. OldNo and NewNo are 1-based line numbers in the old and new text; 0 means the side has no such line (an Add has no OldNo) or the numbers are unknown (a fragment diff, see Fragment).
