Examples

See Examples.md for more examples.

use difference::{Difference, Changeset};

let changeset = Changeset::new("test", "tent", "");

assert_eq!(changeset.diffs, vec![
  Difference::Same("te".to_string()),
  Difference::Rem("s".to_string()),
  Difference::Add("n".to_string()),
  Difference::Same("t".to_string())
]);

Enums
