User-friendly virtual DOM diffing
npm install diferente --save
bower install diferente --save
In contrast with el.innerHTML = markup
, which wipes out the DOM when set, diferente
allows you to easily swap out markup with an intelligent virtual-dom changeset diff patch.
diferente(el, '<new markup to diff/>');
The diffhtml algorithm was invented by tbranyen. I wanted something that didn't pollute the environment (his code assigned to Element.prototype.diffHTML
), so I took the code he wrote and just exposed the function that was called when assigning to diffHTML
. All credit goes to him.
