How to call for a diff instead of a fix

[brunoais]

This tool seems to be very useful but I don't want it to change my code, instead, I want to get what it suggested to change based on the jshint/jslint complaints and then I perform the changes myself. Which method should I call? I can only see the .fix() method.

if you use the included "binary" on a cli you can pass in --diff but I don't think there's a programatic way of doing that. I welcome PRs

Where's the diff? I can see a require function for it but I don't see the file.

https://github.com/jshint/fixmyjs/blob/master/lib/cli.js#L64

[brunoais]

That's not what I'm looking for. I'm looking for the diff itself.

[goatslacker]

what do you mean?

[brunoais]

You require diff here: https://github.com/jshint/fixmyjs/blob/master/lib/cli.js#L2 Right? Where is it?

[brunoais]

Is it this one? https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-diff Maybe this one? https://www.npmjs.com/package/diff

[goatslacker]

It's where I linked to. In that function itself.

[goatslacker]

The package name is in the package json https://github.com/jshint/fixmyjs/blob/master/package.json

[brunoais]

Oh right... I forgot package.json. Thank you.

[brunoais]

I thought this had been closed because someone was doing it. Did I understand it wrong?

[goatslacker]

Sorry I thought you just had a question about which package was being used.

[brunoais]

That was just part of a stream of questions :D. I'll look into the code and find what I want, then.

[brunoais]

I've been unable to find time for this. I'll try finding some asap.

[brunoais]

I'm having rl issues and there has been many change of plans that I don't control. I'll reopen if I can find back the time I need to work with this.
