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.

Example

var h = require("virtual-dom/h")
var diff = require("virtual-dom/diff")

var leftNode = h("div")
var rightNode = h("text")

var patches = diff(leftNode, rightNode)
/*
  -> {
    a: leftNode,
    0: vpatch<REPLACE>(rightNode) // a replace operation for the first node
  }
*/

Installation

npm install virtual-dom
