Functions to find the difference between two texts (strings). Usage

Add the following to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
difference = "2.0"

Now you can use the crate in your code

extern crate difference;

Examples

See Examples.md for more examples.

use difference::{Difference, Changeset};

let changeset = Changeset::new("test", "tent", "");

assert_eq!(changeset.diffs, vec![
  Difference::Same("te".to_string()),
  Difference::Rem("s".to_string()),
  Difference::Add("n".to_string()),
  Difference::Same("t".to_string())
]);

Macros

assert_diff

Structs

Enums
