# sebastian/diff
Diff implementation for PHP, factored out of PHPUnit into a stand-alone component.
## Installation

You can add this library as a local, per-project dependency to your project using [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/):
```
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 SebastianBergmann\Diff\Differ;
use SebastianBergmann\Diff\Output\UnifiedDiffOutputBuilder;
$differ = new Differ(new UnifiedDiffOutputBuilder);
print $differ->diff('foo', 'bar');
```diff
--- 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 implement
`DiffOutputBuilderInterface` to generate custom output.

The `Parser` class can be used to parse a unified diff into an object graph:
```php
use SebastianBergmann\Diff\Parser;
use SebastianBergmann\Git;
$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] => SebastianBergmann\Diff\Diff Object

[from:SebastianBergmann\Diff\Diff:private] => a/tests/MoneyTest.php
[to:SebastianBergmann\Diff\Diff:private] => b/tests/MoneyTest.php

[0] => SebastianBergmann\Diff\Chunk Object

)
[3] => SebastianBergmann\Diff\Line Object
(
[type:SebastianBergmann\Diff\Line:private] => 2
[content:SebastianBergmann\Diff\Line:private] => public function testAnotherMoneyWithSameCurrencyObjectCanBeAdded()
)
[4] => SebastianBergmann\Diff\Line Object
(
[type:SebastianBergmann\Diff\Line:private] => 1
[content:SebastianBergmann\Diff\Line:private] => public function testAnotherMoneyObjectWithSameCurrencyCanBeAdded()
)
[5] => SebastianBergmann\Diff\Line Object
(
[type:SebastianBergmann\Diff\Line:private] => 3
[content:SebastianBergmann\Diff\Line:private] => {
)
[6] => SebastianBergmann\Diff\Line Object
(
[type:SebastianBergmann\Diff\Line:private] => 3
[content:SebastianBergmann\Diff\Line:private] => $a = new Money(1, new Currency('EUR'));
)
[7] => SebastianBergmann\Diff\Line Object
(
[type:SebastianBergmann\Diff\Line:private] => 3
[content:SebastianBergmann\Diff\Line: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.
