Create a Diff View using the VSCode API

[Nuthin2do]

Hi,

can somebody tell me how to create a DiffView for a file using the VSCode API?

Previously i used the IStandaloneDiffEditor from the monaco-editor, but using this the IMarkerService reacts and tells me that i can't define methods and variables twice.

All i want is to click on a button and get the DiffView like that for the active model (no i don't use the workbench):

I have my model. And currently when i create the model, i save the initial code and the current code. I know that using modelRef i can create a Snapshot of the model and use for comparison in the DiffView, but as i said i don't know how to trigger it.

Which Services do i need to make the DiffView appear?

Can somebody provide a basic example of how to create the DiffView? And aside from creating the DiffView int the VSCode API-way, the IMarkerService shouldn't react and bring errors interpreting the code as two diffrent models, right?!

Thank you very much for any example code
