vtree
A realtime tree diffing algorithm
Motivation
vtree currently exists as part of virtual-dom. It is used for imitating
diff operations between two vnode structures that imitate the structure of
the active DOM node structure in the browser.
This module is currently re-exporting the vtree from virtual-dom, but the
aim is to eventually make this a standalone module and have virtual-dom
depend on vtree instead.
Example
var VNode = require("vtree/vnode")
var diff = require("vtree/diff")
var leftNode = new VNode("div")
var rightNode = new VNode("text")
var patches = diff(leftNode, rightNode)
/*
-> {
a: lefNode,
0: vpatch<REPLACE>(rightNode) // a replace operation for the first node
}
*/Installation
npm install vtree
