diff

Diff UI Extensions

The diff editor extension shows the diff between the draft value and the published value of a short text field.

Installation and usage

Check you have the requirements needed to use extensions.

Local development

Start a local server, changing the port if needed:

python -m SimpleHTTPServer 3030

Don't use the extension.json descriptor file but instead use 3rd party hosting from localhost

contentful extension update --force --src 'http://localhost:3030/index.html' --id diff --name diff --field-types Symbol -field-types Text

The same constraints apply to loading unsafe scripts.

Using the extension in the Contentful web app

Enable the extension in the Contentful web app for a "Short text" field by opening the Settings for a field and selecting the widget in the appearance tab.
