## Introduction

You can see the difference between the two codes with the `vue-diff` plugin.  
This plugin dependent on <a href="https://github.com/JackuB/diff-match-patch">diff-match-patch</a> and <a href="https://github.com/highlightjs/highlight.js/">highlight.js</a>, shows similar results to other diff viewers (e.g., Github Desktop).  
Here is the <a href="https://hoiheart.github.io/vue-diff/index.html" target="_blank" style="font-size: 1.2em; text-decoration: underline;">demo</a>

## Features

- Support split / unified mode
- Support multiple languages and can be extended
- Support two themes (dark / light) and can be customized
- Virtual scroll for large text comparison
- Folding view (_Partial folding is not supported_)
- Support typescript

- dark: `highlight.js/scss/monokai.scss`
- light: `highlight.js/scss/vs.scss`

```bash
npm install highlight.js
```

```vue
<template>
  <Diff
    :mode="mode"
    
    theme="custom"
    :language="language"
    :prev="prev"
    :current="current"
  />
</template>

background-color: #000; // Set background color
}
</style>
```

## Virtual scroll

Comparing text from many lines can slow down performance.<br>
With virtualScroll props, virtualScroll applies. (Self-made for this plug-in.)

#### Object property value

When using virtual scroll, the css of all code lines is changed to the absolute position, which requires detailed settings.

- height (`number`): Diff box height (Applies only to px values)
- lineMinHeight (`number`): minimum height of line
  > Minimum height value of line is required for visible area calculation.<br>The default is 24, but you can set it yourself if you need to adjust it according to the page's front-size, line-height, etc.
- delay (`number`): re-rendering delay when scrolling or resizing
  > Performance problems occur when too often a re-rendering function is invoked based on scrolling or resizing<br>This setting applies a delay using throttle.
