Diff in PhpStorm



How can I compare a document in current project with one that is not a part of project?
How can I compare two arbitrary files in my computer with phpStorm?





You could copy the content from the external file into clipboard and right click on/in your project file and then click Compare with clipboard.

Compare with clipboard





@Dan Lee Yes, as you mentioned currently easiest way that I found for comparing a project file with a non-project file is copy external file to clipboard and select "View->Compare with clipboard".

For me this feature is broken in version phpstorm 10. Someone experiencing the same?

It can be done only externally:



You can also open the difference viewer without running PhpStorm. This is done through the following command:


<path to PhpStorm executable file> diff <path_1> <path_2>



where path_1 and path_2 are paths to the files in question, which can be of various types, including jar.


path_1


path_2



From inside PhpStorm you can only compare files that are available in the project.



What I do for comparing two external sources (web page sources etc.)



1 - Open a new scratch file from "File" Menu -> "New Scratch File" and choose a file type



2 - Copy & Paste Source 1 to this new scratch file



3 - Either create a new scratch file for second source and click "Compare With" from "View" Menu
or
better just directly copy second to clipboard and from "View" Menu click to "Compare with Clipboard"



In phpStorm 2016.2 (and possibly some earlier editions) you can navigate to the external file via File >> Open... , which will open a tab showing the external file's content. You can then use View>> Compare with... to compare the external file to a file within your project.

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Firebase Auth - with Email and Password - Check user already registered I want to check when a user attempts to signup with createUserWithEmailAndPassword() in Firebase user Authentication method, this user is already registered with my app. createUserWithEmailAndPassword() 8 Answers 8 To detect whether a user with that email address already exists, you can detect when the call to createUserWithEmailAndPassword () fails with auth/email-already-in-use . I see that @Srinivasan just posted an answer for this. createUserWithEmailAndPassword () auth/email-already-in-use Alternatively, you can detect that an email address is already used by calling fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() (previous called fetchProvidersForEmail() ). fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() fetchProvidersForEmail() When the user trying to create an user with same email address, the task response will be "Response: The email address is already in use by another account." mFirebas

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Dynamically update html content plain JS So I have a script bound in my index.html, which literally has to fetch an array of jsons from an api, then dynamically update my page when get response. But as a result I'm getting an as the only update of my page. here is my script fetch(url) .then((resp) => resp.json()) .then((resp) => resp.results.forEach(item => fetch(item.url) .then((response)=> response.json()) .then((response) => pokeArr.push(response)) .catch(console.log) ) ).catch(console.log) const filler = () => if(!pokeArr) return 0 pokeArr.map((i,j)=> return `<tr>$i.name</tr>` ) const pokeindex = () => document.getElementById('a').appendChild(document.createElement(filler())) pokeindex() When I'm consoling it, I can see in the console all the responses I get, so I'm at least doing the fetching part right. What's parberakan ? What's pokeArr ? – T.J. Crowder Aug 8 at 12

How to determine optimal route across keyboard

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP How to determine optimal route across keyboard I'm trying to automate the typing process in a video game. Players are given an on-screen QWERTY keyboard layout that they can navigate with the control stick (up, down, left, right) in order to select a letter to type. I was wondering if there was a module for Python (or some other resource I could explore) that would help my program find a path across the keyboard as it types each letter in a given message. In other words, if the first letter typed was "A" and the next letter was "B", the module would know that the program should move 1 space down on the keyboard and 4 spaces to the right. Currently, I have the program resetting to the "G" key after each letter is typed (allowing me to use fixed-directions as the program parses each character in the desired message). As you can imagine, this is quite inefficient and defeats the purpose of automating the typing in the fir
