This PR improves the performance and usability of the diff viewer by:

  • Precomputing and rendering the diff once to an offscreen canvas.
  • Using the precomputed diff to display two identical minimaps on both sides of the viewer.
  • Reducing unnecessary redraws during scrolling, search highlighting, and diff updates.
  • Maintaining full interactivity (click/drag) on both minimaps while keeping the overlay lightweight.

This change significantly reduces CPU usage and ensures smoother scrolling and interactions, especially for large files.

New viewer will look like this. Performance increase made scrollbox move smoother.

Left minimap can be hidden by simply changing the showSingleMinimap (default true) to false

Summary of Changes

Hello @utkuakyuz, I'm Gemini Code Assist1 ! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request introduces significant performance and usability enhancements to the diff viewer, primarily by optimizing the minimap rendering process. It transitions from on-the-fly rendering to a precomputed, offscreen canvas approach, which drastically improves responsiveness and reduces resource consumption. The changes also enable a dual minimap display, providing a more comprehensive visual overview of the diff while maintaining a smooth and interactive experience.

Highlights

  • Performance Optimization: The diff viewer now pre-renders the entire diff to an offscreen canvas, significantly reducing CPU usage and enabling smoother interactions, especially for large files.
  • Dual Minimap Display: The precomputed diff is utilized to display two identical minimaps on both sides of the viewer, enhancing navigation and visual context without redundant calculations.
  • Reduced Redraws: Unnecessary redraws during scrolling, search highlighting, and diff updates have been minimized, contributing to a more fluid user experience.
  • Enhanced Interactivity: Both minimaps maintain full interactivity (click/drag) with visual feedback (opacity changes) while keeping the overlay lightweight.
  • New Development Scripts: Added watch and dev:watch scripts to package.json for improved developer workflow, allowing simultaneous watching of rollup builds and the demo application.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a significant performance optimization for the diff viewer by pre-rendering the diff to an offscreen canvas and using it to display dual minimaps. This is a great improvement that should reduce CPU usage and improve user experience. My review includes feedback on a UI bug involving a duplicated button, a suggestion to reduce code duplication, a fix for a potential bug in a React hook's dependency array, and some recommendations for improving code quality by aligning with React best practices and cleaning up CSS.
