Created Using Ivy
Web application created using Ivy-Framework.
Ivy - The ultimate framework for building internal tools with LLM code generation by unifying front-end and back-end into a single C# codebase. With Ivy, you can build robust internal tools and dashboards using C# and AI assistance based on your existing database.
Ivy is a web framework for building interactive web applications using C# and .NET.
Interactive Example For Diff Tool Integration
This example demonstrates how to launch and manage external diff tools using the DiffEngine library integrated with Ivy. DiffEngine automatically detects and launches installed diff tools on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
What This Application Does:
This specific implementation creates a Diff Tool Launcher application that allows users to:
Technical Implementation:
DiffRunner.LaunchAsync()for automatic tool detection and launchingBuildServerDetectorto detect CI/CD environmentsDiffRunner.Kill()to close specific diff tool instancesApps/DiffEngineApp.cs) built with Ivy UI primitivesHow to Run
Prerequisites:
Navigate to the example:
cd diffengineRestore dependencies:
Run the application:
Open your browser to the URL shown in the terminal (typically
http://localhost:5010)How to Deploy
Deploy this example to Ivy's hosting platform:
cd diffengineThis will deploy your diff tool launcher application with a single command.
