@particle-academy/fancy-file-commons

Shared pure core for the file-focused packages (editors / viewers / writers / diff surfaces) — the structured diff engine + model, git unified-diff parser, merge resolution, per-line gutter annotations, path helpers, and filename→language. Zero deps, no React; fancy-diff re-exports it and the fancy-code diff gutter runs on it.

API surface

This package renders no UI surface — it is the hooks / APIs / server-side tooling described above.

Renders no UI. A supporting package with no rendered components, so there are no live demos — reach for the README + Changelog for the full reference, and the Issues link to file feedback.

Fancy File Commons

@particle-academy/fancy-file-commons — the shared pure core for all of the Fancy file-focused packages: the editors (fancy-code), the viewers (FileViewer and friends), the writers (holy-sheet / dark-slide), and the diff surfaces (fancy-diff).

The rule: anything two file packages would otherwise both implement lives here, once. When an editor needs to know what changed in a document, it uses the same engine the diff viewer renders; when a viewer needs a language for app.tsx, it asks the same map the editor uses.

Zero dependencies. No React, no DOM. Every model is JSON-friendly, deterministic (content-derived ids, no randomness), and safe to hand across an MCP bridge.

Modules (v0.1)

`diff` — structured diffing

Engine — computeDiff(before, after) → a structured Diff: line-level LCS alignment, adjacent delete+insert runs collapsed into replace hunks, optional intra-line word segments.
Unified-diff parser — parseUnifiedDiff(text) turns git diff output (multi-file) into the same Diff model, one per file (flagged partial).
Source resolution — resolveSource({ before, after } | { unified } | { diff }).
Merge resolution — mergeResult(diff, acceptance) folds per-hunk accept/reject decisions into the merged document.
Line annotations — annotateLines(before, after) → per-line gutter marks for the after document: added / modified per line, deletedAbove / deletedAtEnd counts, and totals. What an editor gutter or diff rail renders.

`path` — filename helpers

basename / extname / stem — pure string logic (query/hash-aware, dotfile-aware).

`language` — filename → editor language

languageFromFilename("app.tsx") → "typescript", backed by the suite-wide EXT_LANGUAGE extension map. Unknown → "plaintext".

Install

npm install @particle-academy/fancy-file-commons

Use

import {
  computeDiff,
  annotateLines,
  mergeResult,
  setAllStatus,
  languageFromFilename,
  extname,
} from "@particle-academy/fancy-file-commons";

// Structured diff
const diff = computeDiff("a\nb\nc", "a\nB\nc\nd");

// Editor-gutter model (cheap: skips intra-line segmentation)
const ann = annotateLines("a\nb\nc", "a\nB\nc\nd");
// -> { byLine: { 2: {type:"modified"}, 4: {type:"added"} }, deletedAtEnd: 0, added: 1, modified: 1, removed: 0 }

// Accept everything -> the merged result is the after doc
mergeResult(diff, setAllStatus(diff, "accepted")); // "a\nB\nc\nd"

languageFromFilename("src/App.tsx"); // "typescript"
extname("report.final.XLSX"); // "xlsx"

Consumers

Package	Uses
`@particle-academy/fancy-diff`	the whole diff module (re-exported), + the React review UI on top
`@particle-academy/fancy-code`	`annotateLines` for the CodeEditor diff gutter; `languageFromFilename` for FileViewer

New shared file functionality (mime maps, file-tree models, artifact naming, …) lands here first, then the surface packages consume it.

Develop

npm install
npm test       # node:test over test/*.test.ts
npm run build  # tsup -> dist (ESM + CJS + types)
