# Diff Editor

The diff editor is contained in a Split editor and will highlight differences between the two editor boxes.

## Demo

## Example Code

```typescript
import React, { Component } from "react";
import { render } from "react-dom";
import { diff as DiffEditor } from "react-ace";

import "ace-builds/src-noconflict/theme-github";

render(
  <DiffEditor
    value={["Test code differences", "Test code difference"]}
    height="1000px"
    width="1000px"
    mode="text"
  />
);
```

Also see the [diff](../example/diff.js) [example](../example/diff.html) in the example folder for more robust sample code (seen in the [demo](http://securingsincity.github.io/react-ace/diff.html)).
