npm diff

Compare package versions from the npm registry and show differences. Similar to git diff. More information: https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/npm-diff.

• Compare two specific package versions:

npm diff --diff {{package_name}}@{{version1}} --diff {{package_name}}@{{version2}}

• Compare current local packages with latest published version:

npm diff

• Compare current local package with a specific version:

npm diff --diff {{package_name}}@{{version}}

• Compare a package in the current directory with the registry version:

npm diff --diff {{package_name}}

• Show only filenames that differ:

npm diff --diff-name-only --diff {{package_name}}@{{version1}} --diff {{package_name}}@{{version2}}

• Compare specific files or directories only:

npm diff {{path/to/file_or_directory}} --diff {{package_name}}@{{version1}} --diff {{package_name}}@{{version2}}

• Ignore whitespace when comparing:

npm diff --diff-ignore-all-space --diff {{package_name}}@{{version1}} --diff {{package_name}}@{{version2}}
