README

A PHP console utility to find differences in configuration files.

Utility features:

• Multi-format support
• Report generation as plain text, pretty и json

Installation

Via Composer

$ composer require mariya/gendiff

Usage

Get help:

$ gendiff -h

Generate the difference between two files (json, yaml):

$ gendiff before.json after.json

The utility supports different output formats. By default, the report is generated as pretty. Example:

$ gendiff before.json after.json

{
    host: hexlet.io
  + timeout: 20
  - timeout: 50
  - proxy: 123.234.53.22
  + verbose: true
}

Using the option --format with value plain to get a report in the following format:

$ gendiff --format plain before.json after.json

Property 'timeout' was changed. From '50' to '20'
Property 'proxy' was removed
Property 'verbose' was added with value: 'true'

In addition, you can get the report in json format using the appropriate option value:

$ gendiff --format json before.json after.json
