Custom regex

[IonicaBizau]

It would be super nice to allow a custom regex for splitting the words, for example. I need that in one of my projects.

This could be useful when I want to consider words containing special characters (like . or so).

You can do this with a custom override. Take a look at how all of the existing diffs are implemented:

  var CssDiff = new Diff(true);
  CssDiff.tokenize = function(value) {
    return removeEmpty(value.split(/([{}:;,]|\s+)/));
  };

I know, but how can I call the local removeEmpty function, outside of the module?

Thanks!

Right now you'd need to copy that into your own code. We don't expose that anywhere right now but #64 should make this a bit easier to use once implemented.
