# 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))
.catch(error => console.error(error));
```
## Api
```typescript
compare(path1: string, path2: string, options?: Options): Promise<Result>
compareSync(path1: string, path2: string, options?: Options): Result
```
More details can be found in the reference documentation:
* [compare](https://gliviu.github.io/dc-api/index.html#compare)
* [compareSync](https://gliviu.github.io/dc-api/index.html#comparesync)
* [Options](https://gliviu.github.io/dc-api/interfaces/options.html)
* [Result](https://gliviu.github.io/dc-api/interfaces/result.html)
Common options:
* [compareSize](https://gliviu.github.io/dc-api/interfaces/options.html#comparesize)

* [skipEmptyDirs](https://gliviu.github.io/dc-api/interfaces/options.html#skipemptydirs)
## 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).
