What is jest-diff?

The jest-diff npm package is a utility primarily used to show differences between two values, typically used in testing environments to assert the equality of objects, arrays, or other data structures. It is part of the Jest testing framework but can be used independently for its diffing capabilities.

What are jest-diff's main functionalities?

Diffing two values

This feature allows you to compare two JavaScript objects and outputs a string that visually represents the differences between them. It is useful for debugging and in test assertions to see what exactly differs when a test fails.

const diff = require('jest-diff');
const a = { a: { b: { c: 5 } } };
const b = { a: { b: { c: 6 } } };
console.log(diff(a, b));

Customizing diff output

This feature allows customization of the diff output by passing options. You can specify annotations for the compared values, which helps in making the output more understandable and tailored to specific needs.

const diff = require('jest-diff');
const options = { aAnnotation: 'First', bAnnotation: 'Second' };
const a = [1, 2, 3];
const b = [2, 1, 3];
console.log(diff(a, b, options));
