@pierre/diffs is an open source diff and code rendering library. It's built on Shiki for syntax highlighting and theming, is super customizable, and comes packed with features. Made with love by The Pierre Computer Company.
Currently v1.1.6
Choose from stacked (unified) or split (side-by-side). Both use CSS Grid and Shadow DOM under the hood, meaning fewer DOM nodes and faster rendering.
We built @pierre/diffs on top of Shiki for syntax highlighting and general theming. Our components automatically adapt to blend in with your theme selection, including across color modes.

Your diffs, your choice. Render changed lines with classic diff indicators (+/–), full-width background colors, or vertical bars. You can even highlight inline changes—character or word based—and toggle line wrapping, hide numbers, and more.
@pierre/diffs adapts to any font, font-size, line-height, and even font-feature-settings you may have set. Configure font options with your preferred CSS method globally or on a per-component basis.

Switch between lightweight header metadata and a fully custom header rendered inside the built-in data-diffs-header shell.
Render conflicts through a dedicated diff primitive that treats current and incoming sections as structured additions/deletions without running text diffing. Resolve by choosing current, incoming, or both changes and preview the updated file instantly.

||@pierre/diffs provide a flexible annotation framework for injecting additional content and context. Use it to render your own line comments, annotations from CI jobs, and other third-party content.

We could restrict it to a set of allowed values.
Good idea, maybe use a Literal type or an enum.
Agreed, we should also update verify_token to return the role.
Annotations can also be used to build interactive code review interfaces similar to AI-assisted coding tools like Cursor. Use it to track the state of each change, inject custom UI like accept/reject buttons, and provide immediate visual feedback.

When enabled, clicking a line number will select that line. Click and drag to select multiple lines, or hold Shift and click to extend your selection. You can also control the selection programmatically. Also selections will elegantly manage the differences between split and unified views.
In addition to rendering standard Git diffs and patches, you can pass any two files in @pierre/diffs and get a diff between them. This is especially useful when comparing across generative snapshots where linear history isn't always available. Edit the css below to see the diff.
