# Installation
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install dir-compare
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# Library
|
|
|
|
## Use
|
|
```javascript
|
|
const dircompare = require('dir-compare');
|
|
|
|
const options = { compareSize: true };
|
|
// Multiple compare strategy can be used simultaneously - compareSize, compareContent, compareDate, compareSymlink.
|
|
// If one comparison fails for a pair of files, they are considered distinct.
|
|
const path1 = '...';
|
|
const path2 = '...';
|
|
|
|
// Synchronous
|
|
const res = dircompare.compareSync(path1, path2, options)
|
|
print(res)
|
|
|
|
// Asynchronous
|
|
dircompare.compare(path1, path2, options)
|
|
.then(res => print(res))
|
|
.catch(error => console.error(error));
|
|
|
|
|
|
function print(result) {
|
|
console.log('Directories are %s', result.same ? 'identical' : 'different')
|
|
|
|
console.log('Statistics - equal entries: %s, distinct entries: %s, left only entries: %s, right only entries: %s, differences: %s',
|
|
result.equal, result.distinct, result.left, result.right, result.differences)
|
|
|
|
result.diffSet.forEach(dif => console.log('Difference - name1: %s, type1: %s, name2: %s, type2: %s, state: %s',
|
|
dif.name1, dif.type1, dif.name2, dif.type2, dif.state))
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Typescript
|
|
```typescript
|
|
import { compare, compareSync, Options, Result } from "dir-compare";
|
|
const path1 = '...';
|
|
const path2 = '...';
|
|
const options: Options = { compareSize: true };
|
|
|
|
const res: Result = compareSync(path1, path2, options);
|
|
console.log(res)
|
|
|
|
compare(path1, path2, options)
|
|
.then(res => console.log(res))

|
|
## Glob patterns
|
|
[Minimatch](https://www.npmjs.com/package/minimatch) patterns are used to include/exclude files to be compared.
|
|
|
|
The pattern is matched against the relative path of the entry being compared.
|
|
|
|
Following examples assume we are comparing two [dir-compare](https://github.com/gliviu/dir-compare) code bases.
|
|
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
const options = {
|
|
excludeFilter: ".git,node_modules", // exclude git and node modules directories
|
|
excludeFilter: "expected" , // exclude '/tests/expected' directory
|
|
excludeFilter: "/tests/expected" , // exclude '/tests/expected' directory
|
|
excludeFilter: "**/expected" , // exclude '/tests/expected' directory
|
|
excludeFilter: "**/tests/**/*.js" , // exclude all js files in '/tests' directory and subdirectories
|
|
|
|
includeFilter: "*.js,*.yml" , // include js and yaml files
|
|
includeFilter: "/tests/**/*.js" , // include all js files in '/tests' directory and subdirectories
|
|
includeFilter: "**/tests/**/*.ts" // include all js files in '/tests' directory and subdirectories
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Custom file content comparators
|
|
By default file content is binary compared. As of version 1.5.0 custom file comparison handlers may be specified.
|
|
|
|
Custom handlers are specified by `compareFileSync` and `compareFileAsync` options which correspond to `dircompare.compareSync()` or `dircompare.compare()` methods.
|
|
|
|
A couple of handlers are included in the library:
|
|
* binary sync compare - `dircompare.fileCompareHandlers.defaultFileCompare.compareSync`
|
|
* binary async compare - `dircompare.fileCompareHandlers.defaultFileCompare.compareAsync`
|
|
* text sync compare - `dircompare.fileCompareHandlers.lineBasedFileCompare.compareSync`
|
|
* text async compare - `dircompare.fileCompareHandlers.lineBasedFileCompare.compareAsync`
|
|
|
|
Use [defaultFileCompare.js](https://github.com/gliviu/dir-compare/blob/master/src/fileCompareHandler/defaultFileCompare.js) as an example to create your own.
|
|
|
|
### Ignore line endings and white spaces
|
|
Line based comparator can be used to ignore line ending and white space differences.
|
|
```javascript
|
|
const dircompare = require('dir-compare');
|
|
|
|
const options = {
|
|
compareContent: true,
|
|
compareFileSync: dircompare.fileCompareHandlers.lineBasedFileCompare.compareSync,
|
|
compareFileAsync: dircompare.fileCompareHandlers.lineBasedFileCompare.compareAsync,
|
|
ignoreLineEnding: true, // Ignore crlf/lf line ending differences
|
|
ignoreWhiteSpaces: true, // Ignore white spaces at the beginning and ending of a line (similar to 'diff -b')
|
|
ignoreAllWhiteSpaces: true, // Ignore all white space differences (similar to 'diff -w')
|
|
ignoreEmptyLines: true // Ignores differences caused by empty lines (similar to 'diff -B')
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
const path1 = '...';
|
|
const path2 = '...';
|
|
const res = dircompare.compareSync(path1, path2, options);
|
|
console.log(res)
|
|
|
|
dircompare.compare(path1, path2, options)
|
|
.then(res => console.log(res))
|
|
```
|
|
## Custom name comparators
|
|
If [default](https://github.com/gliviu/dir-compare/blob/master/src/nameCompare/defaultNameCompare.js) name comparison is not enough, custom behavior can be specified with [compareNameHandler](https://gliviu.github.io/dc-api/index.html#comparenamehandler) option.
|
|
Following example adds the possibility to ignore file extensions.
|
|
```typescript
|
|
import { Options, compare } from 'dir-compare'
|
|
import path from 'path'
|
|
|
|
const options: Options = {
|
|
compareSize: false, // compare only name by disabling size and content criteria
|
|
compareContent: false,
|
|
compareNameHandler: customNameCompare, // new name comparator used to ignore extensions
|
|
ignoreExtension: true, // supported by the custom name compare below
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
function customNameCompare(name1: string, name2: string, options: Options) {
|
|
if (options.ignoreCase) {
|
|
name1 = name1.toLowerCase()
|
|
name2 = name2.toLowerCase()
|
|
}
|
|
if (options.ignoreExtension) {
|
|
name1 = path.basename(name1, path.extname(name1))
|
|
name2 = path.basename(name2, path.extname(name2))
|
|
}
|
|
return ((name1 === name2) ? 0 : ((name1 > name2) ? 1 : -1))
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
const path1 = '/tmp/a';
|
|
const path2 = '/tmp/b';
|
|
|
|
const res = compare(path1, path2, options).then(res => {
|
|
console.log(`Same: ${res.same}`)
|
|
if (!res.diffSet) {
|
|
return
|
|
}
|
|
res.diffSet.forEach(dif => console.log(`${dif.name1} ${dif.name2} ${dif.state}`))
|
|
})
|
|
|
|
// Outputs
|
|
// icon.svg icon.png equal
|
|
// logo.svg logo.jpg equal
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Custom result builder
|
|
[Result builder](https://gliviu.github.io/dc-api/index.html#resultbuilder) is called for each pair of entries encountered during comparison. Its purpose is to append entries in `diffSet` and eventually update `statistics` object with new stats.
|
|
|
|
If needed it can be replaced with custom implementation.
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
const dircompare = require("dircompare")
|
|
|
|
const customResultBuilder = function (entry1, entry2, state, level, relativePath, options, statistics, diffSet, reason) {
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
const options = {
|
|
compareSize: true,
|
|
resultBuilder: customResultBuilder
|
|
}
|
|
const res = dircompare.compareSync('...', '...', options)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The [default](https://github.com/gliviu/dir-compare/blob/master/src/resultBuilder/defaultResultBuilderCallback.js) builder can be used as an example.
|
|
|
|
## Symbolic links
|
|
Unless `compareSymlink` option is used, symbolic links are resolved and any comparison is applied to the file/directory they point to.
|
|
|
|
Circular loops are handled by breaking the loop as soon as it is detected.
|
|
|
|
Version `1.x` treats broken links as `ENOENT: no such file or directory`.
|
|
Since `2.0` they are treated as a special type of entry - `broken-link` - and are available as stats (`totalBrokenLinks`, `distinctBrokenLinks`, ...).
|
|
|
|
Using `compareSymlink` option causes `dircompare` to check symlink values for equality.
|
|
In this mode two entries with identical name are considered different if
|
|
* one is symlink, the other is not
|
|
* both are symlinks but point to different locations
|
|
|
|
These rules are applied in addition to the other comparison modes; ie. by content, by size...
|
|
|
|
If entries are different because of symlinks, `reason` will be `different-symlink`. Also statistics summarizes differences caused by symbolik links.
|
|
|
|
## Handling permission denied errors
|
|
Unreadable files or directories are normally reported as errors. The comparison will be intrerrupted with an `EACCES` exception.
|
|
This behavior can be altered with [Options.handlePermissionDenied](https://gliviu.github.io/dc-api/interfaces/options.html#handlepermissiondenied).
