DiffSync

A .NET Standard 2.0 library to help with data synchronization, such as determining object differences, applying patches, and merging changes.

Diff and Patch

using DiffSync;
using JeniusApps.Nightingale.Data.Models;

var w1 = new Workspace
{
    Name = "test",
    Id = "1",
    Items = new List<Item>
    {
        new Item
        {
            Name = "item1"
        }
    }
};

var w2 = new Workspace
{
    Name = "test",
    Id = "1",
    Items = new List<Item>
    {
        new Item
        {
            Name = "item1new"
        }
    }
};

var diff = w1.Diff(w2);
var w3 = w1.Patch(diff);
var newResult = w2.Diff(w3);
Assert.Null(newResult);

Merge

var wBase = new Workspace
{
