Feature for adding extra templated output to the diff #38

Closed simonw closed 3 weeks ago

simonw commented 3 weeks ago

For this project: https://github.com/simonw/scrape-hacker-news-by-domain

I want to include latest links in the human readable output that link to https://news.ycombinator.com/latest?id=41459472 for each item.

I'm going to try using Python format strings like this:

csv-diff --format json simon-previous.json simon.json --key id --extra latest 'https://news.ycombinator.com/latest?id={id}'
