Diffs Viewer

This is the Diffs viewer for DecaturVote.com. Built with Liaison. Diffs are managed by decatur-vote/diffs-db and decatur-vote/text-diff.

Install

composer require decatur-vote/diffs-viewer v1.0.x-dev   

or in your composer.json

{"require":{ "decatur-vote/diffs-viewer": "v1.0.x-dev"}}  

Routes

The default base url is /diff/. (I think Package::base_url can be changed, but I'm not sure how, because Liaison doesn't document it.)

• /diff/{uuid}/ - display diffs for a particular source uuid. If $integration->can_access_diff($diff) returns false, no further diffs or full texts will be displayed. If the first diff cannot be accessed, then the original text will not display either.
• /diff/admin/ - view a list of avaialble diffs (grouped by source uuid). Only viewable if $integration->canViewAdminPages() returns true
• /diff/diffs.css - Base css for viewing diffs. This is automatically added when requesting /diff/{uuid}/.

Usage

To setup the viewer: Set it up with Liaison, style it, and add an Integration class for needed callbacks.

NOTICE: Setup decatur-vote/diffs-db to actually store & manage your diffs, so they can be viewed.

Setup with Liaison

<?php  
$viewer_app = new \Lia\Package\Server($lia, 'decatur-vote:diffs-viewer', dirname(__DIR__).'/src/');    
$viewer_app->integration = new \MyIntegrationClass();  

Setup Integration

Define MyIntegrationClass. It must implement src/IntegrationInterface.php: (This is a barebones version from our tests)

<?php  
  
namespace DecaturVote\DiffsViewer\Test;  
  
  
class Integration implements \DecaturVote\DiffsViewer\IntegrationInterface {  
  
    protected \PDO $pdo;   
  
    public function __construct(\PDO $pdo){  
        $this->pdo = $pdo;  
    }  
  
    public function getPdo(): \PDO{  
        return $this->pdo;  
    }  
  
    public function canViewAdminPages(): bool {  
        return true;  
    }  
  
    public function get_current_text(string $uuid): string {  
        return file_get_contents(__DIR__.'/../input/text-'.$uuid.'.txt');  
    }  
  
    public function can_access_diff(\DecaturVote\DiffDb\TextDiff $diff): bool {  
        return true;  
    }  
  
    public function clean_diff_opps(string $diff_ops): string {  
        return $diff_ops;  
    }  
  
    public function clean_text(string $text): string{  
        return str_replace("\n", "\n<br>",$text);  
    }  
  
    public function diffs_will_display(\Lia $lia): void {  
        // $lia->addResourceFile('path/to/styles.css');  
    }  
}  

Styling

The only style built-in is a white-space:pre for the list of diffs. See src/public/diffs.css & override styles as you wish

/** Container for displaying diffs */  
.DiffList {  
  
}  
  
/** the full text for the current iteration */  
.DiffList .full_text {  
  
}  
  
/** The diff operations */  
.DiffList .changes {  
    white-space: pre;  
}  

Testing

Setup Mysql test settings

At the root of DiffsViewer, create the file mysql_settings.json and fill it in with your development environment settings:

WARNING: Running tests will delete your all text diffs from your database

{  
    "database": "dbname",  
    "host": "localhost",  
    "user": "user_name",  
    "password": "bad_password"  
}  

Then you'll need to vendor/bin/phptest server, visit the localhost url, and go to /diff/admin/

Screenshots

These are with no additional styling or page theme.
