api/dom.js

Please feel free to use prettydiff.com.xhtml file to supplement dom.js. Otherwise, dom.js requires supplemental assistance to map DOM nodes from an HTML source to the properties of the pd.o object found in dom.js. dom.js is fault tolerant so most of the nodes mapped by pd.o need not be supported from custom HTML.

To run Pretty Diff using dom.js include the following two script tags and bind the pd.recycle() function to the executing event. Please refer to prettydiff.com.xhtml for an HTML example and documentation.xhtml for option and execution information.

<script type="application/javascript" src="prettydiff.js"></script>
<script type="application/javascript" src="api/dom.js"></script>

Node.js / CommonJS / RequireJS

Node.js support is provided by api/node-local.js. This file can execute in the following modes:

• screen - code input is on the command line and output is to the command line
• filescreen - code input is in a file and the output is to the command line
• file - the input and the output reside in files
• directory - everything in a directory is processed into a specified output directory except ".", "..", and subdirectories

In your Node.js script include Pretty Diff with this code:

var prettydiff = require("prettydiff");

From the command line execute api/node-local.js similar to these examples:

>node c:\\prettydiff\\api\\node-local.js source:"c:\mydirectory\myfile.js" readmethod:"file" diff:"c:\myotherfile.js"

>node c:\\prettydiff\\api\\node-local.js source:"c:\mydirectory\myfile.js" mode:"beautify" readmethod:"file" output:"c:\output\otherfile.js"

WSH

Create a WSH script file using XML syntax and with a file extension of "WSF". This file must have a tag for each supported argument, must be capable of reading from a file, and retrieving dependencies.

http://prettydiff.com/api/prettydiff.wsf

Pretty Diff would be executed using the following on CLI:

cscript prettydiff.wsf
cscript prettydiff.wsf /source:"myFile.xml" /mode:"beautify"

Pre-Inventory:

• The component files are provided for access to individual functions independent of the Pretty Diff application. The component code is already included in prettydiff.js, so it is not needed in addition to prettydiff.js. The only files not included with prettydiff.js are the APIs and the stylesheet - diffview.css.
