I so far haven't been able to get sensible output between two simple fragments. I have this for a simple comparison service:
class ComparisonService
def initialize(seq1, seq2)
@doc1 = Nokogiri::HTML.fragment(seq1)
@doc2 = Nokogiri::HTML.fragment(seq2)
end
def raw
{
old: @doc1,
new: @doc2
}
end
def changes
output = []
@doc1.diff(@doc2) do |change, node|
output << {
change: change,
node: node.to_html
}
end
output
end
end
This is the ouput of comparison.raw:
{:old=>
#(DocumentFragment:0x2aef160d6238 {
name = "#document-fragment",
children = [
#(Element:0x2aef160c5de8 { name = "p", children = [ #(Text "This paragraph remains the same.")] }),
#(Element:0x2aef160c5d84 { name = "p", children = [ #(Text "This paragraph gets removed.")] })]
}),
:new=>
#(DocumentFragment:0x2aef160c5b68 {
name = "#document-fragment",
children = [
#(Element:0x2aef160c5438 { name = "p", children = [ #(Text "This paragraph remains the same.")] }),
#(Element:0x2aef160c5348 { name = "p", children = [ #(Text "This paragraph is new.")] })]
})}
I should see one removal and one addition for the change in the second paragraph. However, the changes method lumps everything together:
[{:change=>"-", :node=>"<p>This paragraph remains the same.</p><p>This paragraph gets removed.</p>"}, {:change=>"+", :node=>"<p>This paragraph remains the same.</p><p>This paragraph is new.</p>"}]
I've tried @doc1 = Nokogiri::HTML(seq1) but this appends <html> and <body> (unwanted) and seems to run the comparison against children recurrsively, like a russian doll:
[1] pry(#<DocumentsController>)> comp.raw
=> {:old=>
#(Document:0x2aef1679ac90 {
name = "document",
children = [
#(DTD:0x2aef1669663c { name = "html" }),
#(Element:0x2aef16692604 {
name = "html",
children = [
#(Element:0x2aef1668c31c {
name = "body",
children = [
#(Element:0x2aef1667f5cc { name = "p", children = [ #(Text "This paragraph remains the same.")] }),
#(Element:0x2aef166764f4 { name = "p", children = [ #(Text "This paragraph gets removed.")] })]
})]
})]
}),
:new=>
#(Document:0x2aef1679abdc {
name = "document",
children = [
#(DTD:0x2aef1663fcec { name = "html" }),
#(Element:0x2aef1663e068 {
name = "html",
children = [
#(Element:0x2aef16635ef4 {
name = "body",
children = [
#(Element:0x2aef1662d1f0 { name = "p", children = [ #(Text "This paragraph remains the same.")] }),
#(Element:0x2aef1661ebf0 { name = "p", children = [ #(Text "This paragraph is new.")] })]
})]
})]
})}
[2] pry(#<DocumentsController>)> comp.changes
=> [{:change=>" ", :node=>""},
{:change=>" ", :node=>"<html><body>\n<p>This paragraph remains the same.</p>\n<p>This paragraph gets removed.</p>\n</body></html>"},
{:change=>" ", :node=>"<body>\n<p>This paragraph remains the same.</p>\n<p>This paragraph gets removed.</p>\n</body>"},
{:change=>" ", :node=>"<p>This paragraph remains the same.</p>\n"},
{:change=>" ", :node=>"<p>This paragraph gets removed.</p>"},
{:change=>" ", :node=>"This paragraph remains the same."},
{:change=>"-", :node=>"This paragraph gets removed."},
{:change=>"+", :node=>"This paragraph is new."}]
I'm not sure if others find that output favourable, but I'm looking to make the output make sense by rendering html changes side by side, like commits can be viewed on github. Any suggestions?
