Custom HTML wrapper template

The template is a very based on a simple replace of several placeholders as coded https://github.com/rtfpessoa/diff2html-cli/blob/master/src/cli.ts#L40

To provide a custom template you need to make sure you have the following comments and imports in your HTML, exactly as they are here:

  • Inside the <head> tag
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/highlight.js/9.9.0/styles/github.min.css" />
<!--diff2html-css-->
<!--diff2html-js-ui-->
<script>
  document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
    const targetElement = document.getElementById('diff');
    const diff2htmlUi = new Diff2HtmlUI(targetElement);
    //diff2html-fileListToggle
    //diff2html-synchronisedScroll
    //diff2html-highlightCode
  });
</script>
  • Inside the <body> tag
<div id="diff">
  <!--diff2html-diff-->
</div>

Examples

diff2html -s line -f html -d word -i command -o preview -- -M HEAD~1

  • diff last commit, line by line, word comparison between lines, previewed in the browser and input from git diff command

diff2html -i file -- my-file-diff.diff

  • reading the input from a file

diff -u file1.txt file2.txt | diff2html -i stdin

  • reading diff from stdin

diff2html -f json -o stdout -- -M HEAD~1

  • print json format to stdout

diff2html -F my-pretty-diff.html -- -M HEAD~1

  • print to file

diff2html -F my-pretty-diff.html --hwt my-custom-template.html -- -M HEAD~1

  • print to file using custom markup templates can include the following variables

diff2html --ig package-lock.json --ig yarn.lock

  • Ignore package-lock.json and yarn.lock from the generated diff

NOTE: notice the -- in the examples
