Why is integral of differential delta function equal to delta function?

I.e. as I've read elsewhere:

$$\int_A 1 d \delta_A=\int_A d \delta_A=\delta_A=\delta_x(A)$$

https://planetmath.org/diracmeasure

Intuitively one could compare it to $\int 1 dx=x$, but since $\delta_A$ is a piece-wise function ...

Also I understand the intuition as to why the integral "ought to" equal that. But not the reasoning of "integral of differential equals variable of differential".

Note that here $\delta_x$ is a measure, i.e. a function taking a set (belonging to some $\sigma$-algebra) and giving a nonnegative value. In this case, for any $A \subseteq \mathbb{R}$, $$ \delta_x(A) := \begin{cases} 1 & \text{if } x\in A \\ 0 & \text{if } x\not\in A \end{cases} $$

I won't go into the definitions of integrals of functions w.r.t. a measure, but for the measure $\delta_x$ we have $$ \int f \, d\delta_x = f(x). $$ Here, the $d$ in front of $\delta_x$ doesn't mean differential, but is rather just a common notation for telling with respect to what measure the integral is done. Some mathematicians would instead write $\int f(t) \, \delta_x(dt).$

An integral restricted to a set $A$ is defined by $ \int_A f \, d\mu = \int \chi_A f \, d\mu, $ where $f$ is a function, $\mu$ a measure, and $\chi_A$ is the indicator function of $A$, defined by $$ \chi_A(x) = \begin{cases} 1 & \text{if } x\in A \\ 0 & \text{if } x\not\in A \end{cases} $$

Therefore, $$ \int_A d\delta_x = \int \chi_A \, d\delta_x = \chi_A(x) = \delta_x(A) . $$
