Functions

func AnyDiff

func AnyDiff[T any](have, want T) string

AnyDiff returns a textual representation of the differences between 'have' and 'want'. Consider using ReprDiff instead, which has a better human-readable output.

func ReprDiff

func ReprDiff[T any](have, want T) string

ReprDiff returns a highly human-readable unified diff of the string representation of (have, want). This is probably the function you are looking for.

func TextDiff

func TextDiff(oldLabel string, newLabel string, old string, new string) string

TextDiff returns a unified diff of the strings (old, new). Based on a copy of x/tools/internal/diff https://github.com/golang/tools/tree/master/internal/diff

func TextDiffPatient

func TextDiffPatient(oldName string, old []byte, newName string, new []byte) []byte

TextDiffPatient returns a unified diff of the strings (old,new), using the patient diff algorithm. Note that "patient" comes from "patient sorting": it is actually _faster_ than a standard diff algorithm. Based on a copy of x/tools/internal/diffp https://github.com/golang/go/tree/master/src/internal/diffp
