🏃 How to use

checks the diff in array

import ListDiffer, { diff } from "@egjs/list-differ";

// script => eg.ListDiffer
// Value is key
const differ = new ListDiffer([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7], e => e);
// const result = diff([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7], [4, 3, 6, 2, 1, 7], e => e);
const result = differ.update([4, 3, 6, 2, 1, 7]);
// List before update
// [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]
console.log(result.prevList);
// Updated list
// [4, 3, 6, 2, 1, 7]
console.log(result.list);
// Index array of values added to `list`
// [2]
console.log(result.added);
// Index array of values removed in `prevList`
// [5, 4]
console.log(result.removed);
// An array of index pairs of `prevList` and `list` with different indexes from `prevList` and `list`
// [[3, 0], [2, 1], [1, 3], [0, 4], [6, 5]]
console.log(result.changed);
// The subset of `changed` and an array of index pairs that moved data directly. Indicate an array of absolute index pairs of `ordered`.(Formatted by: Array<[index of prevList, index of list]>)
// [[3, 0], [2, 1], [1, 3]]
console.log(result.pureChanged);
// An array of index pairs to be `ordered` that can synchronize `list` before adding data. (Formatted by: Array<[prevIndex, nextIndex]>)
// [[3, 0], [3, 1], [3, 2]]
console.log(result.ordered);
// An array of index pairs of `prevList` and `list` that have not been added/removed so data is preserved
// [[3, 0], [2, 1], [1, 3], [0, 4], [6, 5]]
console.log(result.maintained);

What is changed?

• changed: An array of index pairs of prevList and list with different indexes from prevList and list
• pureChanged: The subset of changed and an array of index pairs that moved data directly. Indicate an array of absolute index pairs of ordered.(Formatted by: Array<[index of prevList, index of list]>)

	changed	pureChanged:
	[[3, 0], [2, 1], [1, 3], [0, 4], [6, 5]]	[[[3, 0], [2, 1], [1, 3]]
prevList
process	-
list

What is ordered?

An array of index pairs to be ordered that can synchronize list before adding data. (Formatted by: Array<[prevIndex, nextIndex]>)

	removed -> ordered -> added
prevList
removed [5, 4]
ordered	[[3, 0], [3, 1], [3, 2]]
ordered[0] [3 => 0]
ordered[1] [3 => 1]
ordered[2] [3 => 2]
added [2]
list

Data Sync Examples

import ListDiffer, { diff } from "@egjs/list-differ";

const prevList = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7];
const list = [4, 3, 6, 2, 1, 7];
// const differ = new ListDiffer(prevList, e => e);
// const result = differ.update(list);
const result = diff(prevList, list, e => e);

removed => ordered => added

	removed => ordered => added

process
list

• Synchronize List

const nextList = prevList.slice();
result.removed.forEach(index => {
  nextList.splice(index, 1);
});
result.ordered.forEach(([from, to], i) => {
  nextList.splice(from, 1);
  nextList.splice(to, 0, list[result.pureChanged[i][1]]);
});
result.added.forEach(index => {
  nextList.splice(index, 0, list[index]);
});
// `nextList` is the same as `list`.
console.log(nextList);

• Synchronize DOM

const parentElement = document.querySelector(".parent");
const children = parentElement.children;

result.removed.forEach(index => {
  children[index].remove();
});
result.ordered.forEach(([from, to]) => {
  parentElement.insertBefore(children[from], children[from < to ? to + 1 : to]);
});
result.added.forEach(index => {
  parentElement.insertBefore(document.createElement("div"), children[index]);
});

• Synchronize List

const nextList: number[] = [];
result.removed.forEach(index => {
  // There is a remove operation for the index.
  // prevList[index];
});
result.maintained.forEach(([from, to]) => {
  nextList[to] = list[to];
});
result.added.forEach(index => {
  nextList[index] = list[index];
});
// `nextList` is the same as `list`.
console.log(nextList);

• Synchronize DOM

const parentElement = document.querySelector(".parent");
const children = parentElement.children;
const prevChildren: Element[] = [].slice.call(parentElement.children);

result.removed.forEach(index => {
  prevChildren[index].remove();
});
result.maintained.forEach(([from, to]) => {
  parentElement.appendChild(prevChildren[from]);
});
result.added.forEach(index => {
  parentElement.insertBefore(document.createElement("div"), children[index]);
});
