How do I interpret the results of a diff? #16

Closed joetidee closed 7 years ago

joetidee commented 7 years ago

When I run a diff on to Maps, I get the following:

List
__altered: false
__hash: undefined
__ownerID: undefined
_capacity: 1
_level: 5
_origin: 0
_root: undefined
_tail: undefined
size: 1

How do I interpret these results?

Hi, it's immutable list. You can call .toJSON() to convert to native data structures for example.

Right, but this informaiton is not telling me anything about what the different was, for example, what does 'capacity' mean?

You are looking at the internal structure of the Immutable.List.. Try calling results.toJSON() to see the actual data.

For a visual output, there are few libraries out there than can render html as well, as such as https://github.com/cezary/react-diff
