word-diff is a word based inline string diff library, based on John Resig's Javascript Diff Algorithm. Focus is put on producing comprehensible diff instead of a compact one. The diff consists of the minimal count of items describing changes in the string. Both the original and the changed string can be reproduced from the diff. Whitespace-only differences are ignored.
$ [sudo] npm install word-diffThis module can be used to generate word based diff for two strings.
varworddiff=require('word-diff');worddiff.diffString('what a great time to be alive','how great it is to be alive')// returns:[{'remove': 'what a ','add': 'how '},{'text': 'great '},{'remove': 'time ','add': 'it is '},{'text': 'to be alive'}]For more examples, have a look at the tests.
