showDiff

This API is used to display differences between any property or text in an easy to interpret way in a dialog box that consists of two panes. The left pane that contains the current value is editable, and the right pane contains the reference value that the current value is being compared with. Changes are shown live as you edit the contents of the left pane.

The API does not save the text. After you click Done in the dialog box, the updated content from the left pane is passed to the callback function for users to perform any action.

The pega.ui.compare module is available for every harness.

Syntax

pega.ui.compare.showDiff(event, language, fetch, currentString, compareString, propertyName, currentLabel, compareWithLabel, doneCallback, cancelCallback, ruleClass);
