Object Versions

Lets you diff two objects, store the changes, and resolve them back into an object. Allows you to track every version of an object over time.

Examples

var history = require('object-diff-history')

Get a deep difference between two objects.

history.diff(null, {name: "sean"}) 		
// {name: "sean"}

history.diff({name: "sean"}, {name: "sean", age: 32})
// {age: 32}

history.diff({name: "sean"}, {name: "bobby"})
// {name: "bobby"}

Use this to keep track of every version of your object

// this array was generated from diffs
var versions = [
	{name: "sean"},
	{age: 32},
	{name: "bobby"}
]

history.resolve(versions)
// {name: "bobby", age: 32}

Nested objects are deeply differenced

history.diff({
	mood:{cheerful:true}
}, {
	mood:{cheerful:true, annoying:true}
})
// {mood:{annoying:true}}

Nested arrays are completely replaced.

history.diff({likes: ['food']}, {likes: ['food', 'games']})
// {likes: ['food', 'games']}
