I needed a way to ignore attributes because I’m diffing markdown-generated html.
Some markdown libraries assign ids to headings based on content. For example:
# heading
Will generate:
If a user changes that to
# heading foo
, they will only care that the content of the heading changed. They won’t care that the id changed to"heading-foo"
. They won’t even know that such an id even exists, so causing it to display a modification to the entire heading would only confuse the user. They would only want to see the insertion of “foo”.I did my best to add passing tests but I was unsure about one thing: diff.ts:587,
areNodesEqual(previousSibling, formattingNode)
did not require the new option, for some reason. All tests already pass without changing it toareNodesEqual(previousSibling, formattingNode, false, ignoreAttributes)
. I don’t know why. Maybe I’m missing a test case.
