daff is an R package that can find difference in values between data.frames, store this difference, render it and apply this difference to patch a data.frame. It can also merge two versions of a data.frame having a common parent. It wraps the daff.js library using the V8 package.
The diff format is described in https://paulfitz.github.io/daff-doc/spec.html.
Functions:
diff_datapatch_dataread_diff and write_diffrender_diffmerge_dataYou can install the development version of daff from GitHub with:
Calculate the difference between a reference and a changed data.frame
library(daff)
y <- iris[1:3,]
x <- y
x <- head(x,2) # remove a row
x[1,1] <- 10 # change a value
x$hello <- "world" # add a column
x$Species <- NULL # remove a column
patch <- diff_data(y, x)
# write a patch to disk
write_diff(patch, "patch.csv")render_diff(patch) will generate the following HTML page:
Patch a data.frame using a diff generated with diff_data.
# read a diff from disk
patch <- read_diff("patch.csv")
# apply patch
y_patched <- patch_data(y, patch)Merge two data.frames that have diverged from a common parent data.frame.
parent <- a <- b <- iris[1:3,]
a[1,1] <- 10
b[2,1] <- 11
# succesful merge
merge_data(parent, a, b)
parent <- a <- b <- iris[1:3,]
a[1,1] <- 10
b[1,1] <- 11
# conflicting merge (both a and b change same cell)
merged <- merge_data(parent, a, b)
merged #note the conflict
#find out which rows contain a conflict
