Made for Pulsar!

This package was written specifically for Pulsar and did not exist in the Atom package repository.

diff-view

Compare files side-by-side with synchronized scrolling. A split pane diff tool with soft-wrap support, git integration, and context menus.

view

Fork of split-diff.

Features

Soft-wrap support: Diff works correctly with soft-wrap enabled, including proper line offsets and scroll synchronization.
Buffer-based scroll sync: Uses buffer line positions for proper alignment across different soft-wrap settings.
Quick toggle buttons: Footer buttons for soft-wrap toggle and equalizing pane widths.
Context menus: Right-click on tree-view files or tabs to "Diff with Active File".
Scrollmap: Shows diff markers in the scrollbar via scrollmap.
Modern codebase: Converted to JavaScript with updated dependencies.

Installation

To install diff-view search for diff-view in the Install pane of the Pulsar settings or run ppm install diff-view. Alternatively, you can run ppm install asiloisad/pulsar-diff-view to install a package directly from the GitHub repository.

Service

The package provides a diff-view service for other packages.

In your package.json:

{
  "consumedServices": {
    "diff-view": {
      "versions": {
        "1.0.0": "consumeDiffView"
      }
    }
  }
}

In your main module:

module.exports = {
  consumeDiffView(diffViewService) {
    // Get marker layers for the current diff
    diffViewService.getMarkerLayers().then((layers) => {
      // layers.editor1MarkerLayer, layers.editor2MarkerLayer
    });

    // Start a diff between two editors
    diffViewService.diffEditors(editor1, editor2, {
      ignoreWhitespace: true,
      autoDiff: false
    });

    // Disable the current diff
    diffViewService.disable();
  }
}
