@molecule/app-diff-viewer-react

Auto-generated, AI-first package reference for the molecule.dev ecosystem. It is written to be read by coding agents as much as by people, and is generated from this package's source — edit src/index.ts JSDoc, not this file.

Text/code diff viewer.

Exports <DiffViewer> (unified or split mode). Pure JS line diff (LCS, no external library) with add/remove row highlighting, optional line numbers, and an optional filename header.

Quick Start

import { DiffViewer } from '@molecule/app-diff-viewer-react'

;<DiffViewer
  before={'const x = 1\nconsole.log(x)'}
  after={'const x = 2\nconsole.log(x)'}
  filename="src/config.ts"
  mode="unified"
  showLineNumbers={true}
/>

npm install -D @types/react

API

Interfaces

DiffViewerProps

Props for {@link DiffViewer}.

interface DiffViewerProps {
  /** Original text. */
  before: string
  /** New text. */
  after: string
  /** Display mode. Defaults to `'unified'`. */
  mode?: 'unified' | 'split'
  /** Show line numbers. Defaults to true. */
  showLineNumbers?: boolean
  /** Optional filename / context label. */
  filename?: string
  /** Extra classes. */
  className?: string
}

Functions

DiffViewer(props)

Text diff viewer — unified or split layout with line-by-line add/remove highlighting. Pure JS (no library) so apps don't pull in megabytes for simple diffs.

For large diffs (10k+ lines), wrap with virtualization upstream.

function DiffViewer({
  before,
  after,
  mode = 'unified',
  showLineNumbers = true,
  filename,
  className,
}: DiffViewerProps): JSX.Element

Injection Notes

Requirements

Peer dependencies:

• @molecule/app-react ^1.0.1
• @molecule/app-ui ^1.0.1
• @molecule/app-ui-react ^1.0.1
• react ^18.0.0 || ^19.0.0

Runtime Dependencies

• @molecule/app-react

• @molecule/app-ui

• @molecule/app-ui-react

• react

• Pass before/after as JS string expressions (curly braces) as above. A quoted JSX attribute (before="a\nb") does NOT interpret \n — you would diff one line containing a literal backslash-n.

• The diff is an O(n*m) dynamic program — fine for typical UI diffs; for very large inputs (10k+ lines) chunk or virtualize upstream.

• Highlight colors are fixed translucent green/red (rgba) rather than theme tokens; they read on light and dark surfaces but are not themeable via ClassMap.

• No user-facing text of its own (only +/- glyphs), so no locale bond is needed. Styling resolves through getClassMap() — requires a wired ClassMap bond (standard molecule app setup).
