Diff implementation for PHP, factored out of PHPUnit into a stand-alone component.
You can add this library as a local, per-project dependency to your project using Composer:
composer require sebastian/diff
If you only need this library during development, for instance to run your project's test suite, then you should add it as a development-time dependency:
composer require --dev sebastian/diff
The Differ
class can be used to generate a textual representation of the difference between two strings:
<?php declare(strict_types=1);use SebastianBergmannDiffDiffer;use SebastianBergmannDiffOutputUnifiedDiffOutputBuilder;$differ = new Differ(new UnifiedDiffOutputBuilder); print $differ->diff('foo', 'bar');
The code above yields the output below:
--- Original+++ New@@ @@-foo+bar
The UnifiedDiffOutputBuilder
used in the example above generates output in "unified diff"
format and is used by PHPUnit, for example.
The StrictUnifiedDiffOutputBuilder
generates output in "strict unified diff" format with
hunks, similar to diff -u
and compatible with patch
or git apply
.
The DiffOnlyOutputBuilder
generates output that only contains the lines that differ.
If none of these three output builders match your use case then you can implementDiffOutputBuilderInterface
to generate custom output.
The Parser
class can be used to parse a unified diff into an object graph:
use SebastianBergmannDiffParser;use SebastianBergmannGit;$git = new Git('/usr/local/src/money');$diff = $git->getDiff( '948a1a07768d8edd10dcefa8315c1cbeffb31833', 'c07a373d2399f3e686234c4f7f088d635eb9641b');$parser = new Parser;print_r($parser->parse($diff));
The code above yields the output below:
Array ( [0] => SebastianBergmannDiffDiff Object ( [from:SebastianBergmannDiffDiff:private] => a/tests/MoneyTest.php [to:SebastianBergmannDiffDiff:private] => b/tests/MoneyTest.php [chunks:SebastianBergmannDiffDiff:private] => Array ( [0] => SebastianBergmannDiffChunk Object ( [start:SebastianBergmannDiffChunk:private] => 87 [startRange:SebastianBergmannDiffChunk:private] => 7 [end:SebastianBergmannDiffChunk:private] => 87 [endRange:SebastianBergmannDiffChunk:private] => 7 [lines:SebastianBergmannDiffChunk:private] => Array ( [0] => SebastianBergmannDiffLine Object ( [type:SebastianBergmannDiffLine:private] => 3 [content:SebastianBergmannDiffLine:private] => * @covers SebastianBergmannMoneyMoney::add ) [1] => SebastianBergmannDiffLine Object ( [type:SebastianBergmannDiffLine:private] => 3 [content:SebastianBergmannDiffLine:private] => * @covers SebastianBergmannMoneyMoney::newMoney ) [2] => SebastianBergmannDiffLine Object ( [type:SebastianBergmannDiffLine:private] => 3 [content:SebastianBergmannDiffLine:private] => */ ) [3] => SebastianBergmannDiffLine Object ( [type:SebastianBergmannDiffLine:private] => 2 [content:SebastianBergmannDiffLine:private] => public function testAnotherMoneyWithSameCurrencyObjectCanBeAdded() ) [4] => SebastianBergmannDiffLine Object ( [type:SebastianBergmannDiffLine:private] => 1 [content:SebastianBergmannDiffLine:private] => public function testAnotherMoneyObjectWithSameCurrencyCanBeAdded() ) [5] => SebastianBergmannDiffLine Object ( [type:SebastianBergmannDiffLine:private] => 3 [content:SebastianBergmannDiffLine:private] => { ) [6] => SebastianBergmannDiffLine Object ( [type:SebastianBergmannDiffLine:private] => 3 [content:SebastianBergmannDiffLine:private] => $a = new Money(1, new Currency('EUR')); ) [7] => SebastianBergmannDiffLine Object ( [type:SebastianBergmannDiffLine:private] => 3 [content:SebastianBergmannDiffLine:private] => $b = new Money(2, new Currency('EUR')); ) ) ) ) ) )
Note: If the chunk size is 0 lines, i.e., getStartRange()
or getEndRange()
return 0, the number of line returned by getStart()
or getEnd()
is one lower than one would expect. It is the line number after which the chunk should be inserted or deleted; in all other cases, it gives the first line number of the replaced range of lines.
