How to display differences between a layout and a ledger

CLI allows users to check differences between the active ledger and a selected layout.

Displaying differences using CLI

Bellow is an example of how to find changes between the active ledger and a selected layout using the Minka CLI.

Ensure that you are connected to a server and have an active ledger set in the context before proceeding.

$ minka layout diff
? Select layout: Cross Ledger Payments

   {
     data: {
       handle: "p2p"
       schema: {
         properties: {           
           custom: {             
             properties: {       
               description: {    
                 type: "string"
               }                 
             }                   
             required: [         
               "description"
             ]                   
             type: "object"
           }                     
         }                       
         required: [             
           "custom"
         ]                       
       }
     }
   }
   ...
 ]

Changes marked with red are present in ledger but not in the layout.

On the other hand, changes marked with green are present in layout but not in ledger

$ minka layout diff
? Select layout: Cross Ledger Payments

             required: [

             ]                     
             type: "object"
           }                       
         }                         
         required: [               
           "custom"
         ]                         
       }
     }
   }
   ...
 ]
 
Policies
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 [
   ...
   {
     data: {
       handle: "default"
       values: [
         ... (3 entries)
         {
           action: "spend"
           action: "any"
         }
         ...
       ]
     }
   }
   ...
 ]

Use the option --select to filter the record types you want to see

$ minka layout diff --select=policy
? Select layout: Cross Ledger Payments

           action: "spend"
           action: "any"
         }
         ...
       ]
     }
