Does Angular 2+ (Angular 7) have a code diff component

Question

Does Angular 2+ (Angular 7 to be exact) have a code diff component or plugin that can be used for comparing 2 separate text files.

Our current AngularJS app, which we're upgrading, uses Ace-Diff which works well. Yet I can't find anyone who's successfully used an Angular2 version of Ace-Diff, or PrettyDiff, etc.

@DavidWalschots: By Angular 2+ I'm referring to anything post AngularJS. As you probably know, after their first javascript version, the Angular team rewrote their framework to a TextScript / componentized version. I called it Angular 1.7 but I think that's wrong, editing to Angular 7. — paiego

@paiego does this mean the "AngularJS" tag should also be removed since it says it should not be used for versions 2 or later? — user10747134

You have currently have two options:

You use ngx-diff See npm
You implement your own Component using a 3rd-party-library like google-diff-match-patch

ngx-diff's Fetaures are pretty limited and im not sure how the styling works so you maybe wanna build your own for flexibility.

Be a Hero and publish it to npm so everyone can use it.

I'm surprised no one has migrated this. I'd love to be the hero but don't have much time for that ;)

You can still use the google-diff-match-patch as third-party-library in angular.

I implemented ngx-diff it only has line by line diff. side by side is more readable.. so it has limited features.

Version v8.0.0 of ngx-diff now contains a side-by-side diff.
