Compare items of two datasets to see changes in their fields. You match the items by a key field and then compare the any number of textual fields.

Diff

You can choose one or more fields to diff between two items that are matched by a key field. The diff is computed using the fast-diff package where the output is a list of text parts that are marked with a number depending if they are inserted (1), deleted (-1) or unchanged (0).

Output

The output is a JSON object with the following properties:

  • type: Representing how the items were compared. Can be new, removed, unchanged or updated.
  • oldItem: The item from the old dataset
  • newItem: The item from the new dataset
  • diff: The diff between the two items. Only present if the type is updated.

Example input

1{
2    "oldDatasetId": "0Azg4BxggC3RmcPpY",
3    "newDatasetId": "i4mfnrQEP8QmQAbHu",
4    "fieldToMapBy": "url",
5    "fieldsToDiff": ["text", "markdown"],
6    "outputTypes": ["new", "removed", "updated", "unchanged"],
7}

Example output

This is one item that was matched in both datasets, the real output will have all items from both datasets.
