--- *mini.diff* Work with diff hunks

---

--- MIT License Copyright (c) 2024 Evgeni Chasnovski

--- Features:

---

--- - Visualize difference between buffer text and its configurable reference

--- interactively (updates as you type). This is done per line showing whether

--- it is inside added, changed, or deleted part of difference (called hunk).

--- Visualization can be with customizable colored signs or line numbers.

---

--- - Special toggleable overlay view with more hunk details inside text area.

--- See |MiniDiff.toggle_overlay()|.

---

--- - Completely configurable per buffer source(s) of reference text used to keep

--- it up to date and define interactions with it. Can be array of sources which

--- are attempted to attach in order. See |MiniDiff-source-specification|.

--- By default uses Git source. See |MiniDiff.gen_source.git()|.

---

--- - Configurable mappings to manage diff hunks:

--- - Apply and reset hunks inside region (selected visually or with

--- a dot-repeatable operator).

--- - "Hunk range under cursor" textobject to be used as operator target.

--- - Navigate to first/previous/next/last hunk. See |MiniDiff.goto_hunk()|.

---

--- What it doesn't do:

---

--- - Provide functionality to work directly with Git outside of visualizing

--- and staging (applying) hunks with (default) Git source. In particular,

--- unstaging hunks is not supported. See |MiniDiff.gen_source.git()|.

---

--- # Setup ~

---

--- This module needs a setup with `require('mini.diff').setup({})` (replace

--- `{}` with your `config` table). It will create global Lua table `MiniDiff`

--- which you can use for scripting or manually (with `:lua MiniDiff.*`).

---

--- See |MiniDiff.config| for `config` structure and default values.

---

--- You can override runtime config settings locally to buffer inside

--- `vim.b.minidiff_config` which should have same structure as

--- `MiniDiff.config`. See |mini.nvim-buffer-local-config| for more details.

---

--- # Comparisons ~

---

--- - [lewis6991/gitsigns.nvim](https://github.com/lewis6991/gitsigns.nvim):

--- - Main inspiration for this module, so there are many similarities.

--- - Can display only Git hunks, while this module has extensible design.

--- - Provides more functionality to work with Git outside of hunks.

--- This module does not (by design).

---

--- # Highlight groups ~

---

--- - `MiniDiffSignAdd` - "add" hunk lines visualization.

--- - `MiniDiffSignChange` - "change" hunk lines visualization.

--- - `MiniDiffSignDelete` - "delete" hunk lines visualization.

--- - `MiniDiffOverAdd` - added buffer text shown in overlay.

--- - `MiniDiffOverChange` - changed reference text shown in overlay.

--- - `MiniDiffOverChangeBuf` - changed buffer text shown in overlay.

--- - `MiniDiffOverContext` - context of a change shown in reference overlay.

--- - `MiniDiffOverContextBuf` - context of a change shown in buffer overlay.

--- - `MiniDiffOverDelete` - deleted reference text shown in overlay.

---

--- To change any highlight group, set it directly with |nvim_set_hl()|.

---

--- # Disabling ~

---

--- To temporarily disable features without relying on |MiniDiff.disable()|,

--- set `vim.g.minidiff_disable` (globally) or `vim.b.minidiff_disable` (for

--- a buffer) to `true`. Considering high number of different scenarios and

--- customization intentions, writing exact rules for disabling module's

--- functionality is left to user.

--- See |mini.nvim-disabling-recipes| for common recipes.

--- # Diffs and hunks ~

---

--- The "diff" (short for "difference") is a result of computing how two text

--- strings differ from one another. This is done on per line basis, i.e. the

--- goal is to compute sequences of lines common to both files, interspersed

--- with groups of differing lines (called "hunks").

---

--- Although computing diff is a general concept (used on its own, in Git, etc.),

--- this module computes difference between current text in a buffer and some

--- reference text which is kept up to date specifically for that buffer.

--- For example, default reference text is computed as file content in Git index.

--- This can be customized in `config.source` (see |MiniDiff-source-specification|).

---

--- # Hunk specification ~

--- *MiniDiff-hunk-specification*

---

--- Hunk describes two sets (one from buffer text, one - from reference) of

--- consecutive lines which are different. In this module hunk is stored as

--- a table with the following fields:

---

--- - <buf_start> `(number)` - start of hunk buffer lines. First line is 1.

--- Can be 0 if first reference lines are deleted.

---

--- - <buf_count> `(number)` - number of consecutive buffer lines. Can be 0 in

--- case reference lines are deleted.

---

--- - <ref_start> `(number)` - start of hunk reference lines. First line is 1.

--- Can be 0 if lines are added before first reference line.

---

--- - <ref_count> `(number)` - number of consecutive reference lines. Can be 0 in

--- case buffer lines are added.

---

--- - <type> `(string)` - hunk type. Can be one of:

--- - "add" - lines are present in buffer but absent in reference.

--- - "change" - lines are present in both buffer and reference.

--- - "delete" - lines are absent in buffer but present in reference.

---

--- # Life cycle ~

---

--- - When entering proper (not already enabled, valid, showing text) buffer,

--- it is attempted to be enabled for diff processing.

--- - During enabling, attempt attaching the source. This should set up how

--- reference text is kept up to date.

--- - On every text change, diff computation is scheduled in debounced fashion

--- after customizable delay (200 ms by default).

--- - After the diff is computed, do the following:

--- - Update visualization based on configurable style: either by placing

--- colored text in sign column or coloring line numbers. Colors for both

--- styles are defined per hunk type in corresponding `MiniDiffSign*`

--- highlight group (see |mini.diff|) and sign text for "sign" style can

--- be configured in `view.signs` of |MiniDiff.config|.

--- - Update overlay view (if it is enabled).

--- - Update `vim.b.minidiff_summary` and `vim.b.minidiff_summary_string`

--- buffer-local variables. These can be used, for example, in statusline.

--- - *MiniDiff-update-event* Trigger `MiniDiffUpdated` `User` event.

--- See |MiniDiff-diff-summary| for example of how to use it.

---

--- Notes:

--- - Use |:edit| to reset (disable and re-enable) current buffer.

--- - To work with BOM bytes, set 'bomb' and have `ucs-bom` in 'fileencodings'.

---

--- # Overlay ~

---

--- Along with basic visualization, there is a special view called "overlay".

--- Although it is meant for temporary overview of diff details and can be

--- manually toggled via |MiniDiff.toggle_overlay()|, text can be changed with

--- overlay reacting accordingly.

---

--- It shows more diff details inside text area:

---

--- - Added buffer lines are highlighted with `MiniDiffOverAdd` highlight group.

---

--- - Deleted reference lines are shown as virtual lines and highlighted with

--- `MiniDiffOverDelete` highlight group.

---

--- - "Change" hunks with equal number of buffer/reference lines show "word diff".

--- This is usually the case when `options.linematch` is enabled (as by default).

--- Reference line is shown next to its buffer counterpart. Changed parts are

--- highlighted with `MiniDiffOverChange` and `MiniDiffOverChangeBuf` in reference

--- and buffer lines. The rest of lines have `MiniDiffOverContext`

--- and `MiniDiffOverContextBuf` highlighting.

---

--- Change with unequal number of buffer/reference lines is shown with reference

--- part as virtual lines highlighted with `MiniDiffOverChange` group.

--- Corresponding buffer lines are treated as context for the change and are

--- highlighted with `MiniDiffOverContextBuf` group.

---

--- Notes:

--- - Word diff has non-zero context width. This means if changed characters

--- are close enough, whole range between them is also colored. This usually

--- reduces visual noise.

--- - Virtual lines above line 1 (like deleted or changed lines) need manual

--- scroll to become visible (with |CTRL-Y|).

---

--- # Mappings ~

---

--- This module provides mappings for common actions with diffs, like:

--- - Apply and reset hunks.

--- - "Hunk range under cursor" textobject.

--- - Go to first/previous/next/last hunk range.

---

--- Examples:

--- - `vip` followed by `gh` / `gH` applies/resets hunks inside current paragraph.

--- Same can be achieved in operator form `ghip` / `gHip`, which has the

--- advantage of being dot-repeatable (see |single-repeat|).

--- - `gh_` / `gH_` applies/resets current line (even if it is not a full hunk).

--- - `ghgh` / `gHgh` applies/resets hunk range under cursor.

--- - `dgh` deletes hunk range under cursor.

--- - `[H` / `[h` / `]h` / `]H` navigate cursor to the first / previous / next / last

--- hunk range of the current buffer.

---

--- Mappings for some functionality are assumed to be done manually.

--- See |MiniDiff.operator()|.

---

--- # Buffer-local variables ~

--- *MiniDiff-diff-summary*

---

--- Each enabled buffer has the following buffer-local variables which can be

--- used in custom statusline to show an overview of hunks in current buffer:

---

--- - `vim.b.minidiff_summary` is a table with the following fields:

--- - `source_name` - name of the active source. This is the only present field

--- if buffer's reference text is not (yet) set.

--- - `n_ranges` - number of hunk ranges (sequences of contiguous hunks).

--- - `add` - number of added lines.

--- - `change` - number of changed lines.

--- - `delete` - number of deleted lines.

---

--- - `vim.b.minidiff_summary_string` is a string representation of summary

--- with a fixed format. Empty string if there is no reference text (yet).

--- It is expected to be used as is. To achieve different formatting, use

--- `vim.b.minidiff_summary` to construct one. The best way to do this is by

--- overriding `vim.b.minidiff_summary_string` inside |MiniDiff-update-event|: >lua

---

--- local format_summary = function(data)

--- local summary = vim.b[data.buf].minidiff_summary

--- local t = {}

--- if summary.add > 0 then table.insert(t, '+' .. summary.add) end

--- if summary.change > 0 then table.insert(t, '~' .. summary.change) end

--- if summary.delete > 0 then table.insert(t, '-' .. summary.delete) end

--- vim.b[data.buf].minidiff_summary_string = table.concat(t, ' ')

--- end

--- local au_opts = { pattern = 'MiniDiffUpdated', callback = format_summary }

--- vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd('User', au_opts)

--- <

--- Defaults ~

---@eval return MiniDoc.afterlines_to_code(MiniDoc.current.eval_section)

---@text # View ~

---

--- `config.view` contains settings for how diff hunks are visualized.

--- Example of using custom signs: >lua

---

--- require('mini.diff').setup({

--- view = {

--- style = 'sign',

--- signs = { add = '+', change = '~', delete = '-' },

--- },

--- })

--- <

--- `view.style` is a string defining visualization style. Can be one of "sign"

--- (as a colored sign in a |sign-column|) or "number" (colored line number).

--- Default: "number" if |'number'| option is enabled, "sign" otherwise.

--- Note: with "sign" style it is better to have |'signcolumn'| always shown.

---

--- `view.signs` is a table with one or two character strings used as signs for

--- corresponding ("add", "change", "delete") hunks.

--- Default: all hunks use "▒" character resulting in a contiguous colored lines.

---

--- `view.priority` is a number with priority used for visualization and

--- overlay |extmarks|.

--- Default: 199 which is one less than `user` in |vim.hl.priorities| (on Neovim<0.11

--- see |vim.hl.priorities|) to have higher priority than automated

--- extmarks but not as in user enabled ones.

---

--- # Source ~

--- *MiniDiff-source-specification*

---

--- `config.source` is a table with single source or array of them. Single source

--- defines how reference text is managed in a particular buffer. Sources in array

--- are attempted to attach in order; call |MiniDiff.disable()| if none attaches.

---

--- A single source table can have the following fields:

---

--- - <attach> `(function)` - callable which defines how and when reference text

--- is updated inside a particular buffer. It is used inside |MiniDiff.enable()|

--- with a buffer identifier as a single argument.

---

--- Should execute logic which results into calling |MiniDiff.set_ref_text()|

--- when reference text for buffer needs to be updated. Like inside callback

--- for an |autocommand| or file watcher (see |watch-file|).

---

--- For example, default Git source watches when ".git/index" file is changed

--- and computes reference text as the one from Git index for current file.

---

--- Can return `false` to indicate that attach has failed. If attach fail can

--- not be inferred immediately (for example, due to asynchronous execution),

--- should explicitly call |MiniDiff.fail_attach()| with appropriate arguments.

--- This is important to properly process array of sources.

---

--- No default value, should be always supplied.

---

--- - <name> `(string|nil)` - source name. String `"unknown"` is used if not supplied.

---

--- - <detach> `(function|nil)` - callable with cleanup action to be done when

--- buffer is disabled. It is called inside |MiniDiff.disable()| with a buffer

--- identifier as a single argument.

---

--- If not supplied, nothing is done during detaching.

---

--- - <apply_hunks> `(function|nil)` - callable which defines how hunks are applied.

--- It is called with buffer identifier as first argument and array of hunks

--- (see |MiniDiff-hunk-specification|) as second. It should eventually update

--- reference text: either by explicitly calling |MiniDiff.set_ref_text()| or

--- performing action triggering its call.

---

--- For example, default Git source computes patch based on the hunks and

--- applies it inside file's git repo.

---

--- If not supplied, applying hunks throws an error.

---

--- Default: a single |MiniDiff.gen_source.git()|.

---

--- # Delay ~

---

--- `config.delay` contains settings for delays in asynchronous processes.

---

--- `delay.text_change` is a number (in ms) defining how long to wait after latest

--- text change (in debounced fashion) before updating diff and visualization.

--- Default: 200.

---

--- # Mappings ~

---

--- `config.mappings` contains keys which are mapped during |MiniDiff.setup()|.

---

--- `mappings.apply` keys can be used to apply hunks inside visual/operator region.

--- What exactly "apply hunks" means depends on the source and its `apply_hunks()`.

--- For example, in default Git source it means stage hunks.

---

--- `mappings.reset` keys can be used to reset hunks inside visual/operator region.

--- Reset means replacing buffer text in region with corresponding reference text.

---

--- `mappings.textobject` keys define "hunk range under cursor" textobject

--- which can be used in Operator-pending mode as target for operator (like

--- |d|, |y|, apply/reset hunks, etc.). It is also set up in Visual mode if

--- keys do not conflict with `mappings.apply` and `mappings.reset`.

--- "Hunk range" is used in a sense that contiguous (back-to-back) hunks are

--- considered as parts of a same hunk range.

---

--- `mappings.goto_first` / `mappings.goto_prev` / `mappings.goto_next` /

--- `mappings.goto_last` keys can be used to navigate to first / previous / next /

--- last hunk range in the current buffer.

---

--- # Options ~

---

--- `config.options` contains various customization options.

---

--- `options.algorithm` is a string defining which diff algorithm to use.

--- Default: "histogram". See |vim.diff()| for possible values.

---

--- `options.indent_heuristic` is a boolean defining whether to use indent

--- heuristic for a (possibly) more naturally aligned hunks.

--- Default: `true`.

---

--- `options.linematch` is a number defining hunk size for which a second

--- stage diff is executed for a better aligned and more granular hunks.

--- Default: 60. See |vim.diff()| and 'diffopt' for more details.

---

--- `options.wrap_goto` is a boolean indicating whether to wrap around edges during

--- hunk navigation (with |MiniDiff.goto_hunk()| or `goto_*` mappings). Like if

--- cursor is after the last hunk, going "next" will put cursor on the first hunk.

--- Default: `false`.
