Release 1.8.1

Fixed issues with the GitHub package registry

Release 1.8.0

• new features:
  • function "jsl.seededRNG.generateSeededNumbers(count, seed)" to generate "random" numbers based on a passed seed
  • function "jsl.seededRNG.generateRandomSeed(digitCount)" to generate a random seed to be used in "jsl.generateSeededNumbers()"
  • function "jsl.seededRNG.validateSeed(seed)" to check whether or not a seed is valid
  • function "jsl.mapRange(value, range_1_min, range_1_max, range_2_min, range_2_max)" to transform a value from one numerical range to another
  • function "jsl.downloadFile(url, destPath, options)" to download a file from a URL
  • function "jsl.unused(any_var)" to indicate an unused variable to a linter
  • function "jsl.replaceAt(input: str, index: number, replacement: str)" to replace a character at the specified index of a string with a replacement
  • function "jsl.randomizeArray(array: array)" to randomize the indexes of the items of an array
  • object "colors" to make it easier to add colors to the console output - this will replace "jsl.consoleColor()"
  • class "MenuPrompt" for an interactive menu (directly in the CLI) - methods:
    • "open()" to open the prompt
    • "addMenu()" to add a new menu to the prompt
    • "validateMenu()" to check whether a menu is invalid
    • "currentMenu()" to get the current menu index
    • "close()" to prematurely close the prompt and get the results
    • "result()" to prematurely get the results of the prompt (without closing it)
  • added unit tests for every function, class and object. They can be run with "npm test" or "node unittest"
• improvements / fixes:
  • added support for ESLint (use "npm i --save-dev" and then "npm run lint")
  • improved time measurement system for "jsl.ping()"
  • improved the background stuff in "jsl.ping()" to improve performance
  • added "contentType" property to "jsl.ping()"'s promise callback
  • edited a bunch of functions and methods to throw an error instead of returning it as a string, which could've caused unwanted and unpredictable behavior
  • put the UUID generation inside an object, renamed it and added four new ones:
    • "generateUUID.hexadecimal(format: str, upperCase: bool)" [0-9,a-f/A-F]
    • "generateUUID.alphanumerical(format: str, upperCase: bool)" [0-9,a-z/A-Z]
    • "generateUUID.decimal(format: str)" [0-9]
    • "generateUUID.binary(format: str)" [0-1]
    • "generateUUID.custom(format: str, possibleValues: str)" [Custom]
  • added "contributors" and "documentation" properties to the "jsl.info" object
  • removed the signal "SIGKILL" from the shutdown prevention functions as "SIGKILL" is intended as a signal that forces a process to be exited no matter what
  • rewrote the entire documentation, I'm crying rn
  • restructured the entire script to separate each function into its own file
  • fixed "isEmpty()"'s object-with-length-0-detection

Release 1.7.0 - New functions, dynamic progress bar, minor fixes

- Fixed #9 
- Fixed #10 
- fixed typo in "readme.md"
- added "ProgressBar" class to create a dynamic progress bar
- added function "jsl.readdirRecursive(folder, callback(err, result){})" to read a folder and its subfolders asynchronously
- added function "jsl.readdirRecursiveSync(folder)" to read a folder and its subfolders synchronously
- added function "jsl.readableArray(array, separators, lastSeparator)" to make an array more easily human-readable
- split the package up into three separate files
- removed all dependencies because they are either included by default or their effect was easily recreatable in vanilla JS
