@Doreen-Schwartz The interface changes look good! Please proceed with the rest of the implementation.

I've added in unit tests + the requested changes. I think it's also worth adding this feature somewhere in the README, but I wasn't sure where would be most appropriate.

@Doreen-Schwartz The PR looks really good! Thank you for the unit tests.
Please can you address the review comment. Then I will merge the PR, add something in README and publish a new version.

@Doreen-Schwartz Please could you fix the formatting problem reported by eslint:

The CI pipeline fails because of this check.
Thanks!
