A full version history of the form-data-encoder package with size, number of distributed files and dependency evolution.
form-data-encoder is an npm package designed to efficiently encode FormData content into the multipart/form-data format, a crucial process for web applications dealing with file uploads and complex data submissions. The package has undergone numerous iterations, evolving from version 0.1.0 to the latest 4.1.0, each reflecting improvements in functionality, performance, and dependency management.
Early versions, like 0.1.0 through 0.4.0, primarily relied on mime-types for content type handling. As the package matured, nanoid was introduced in version 0.5.0 to enhance the generation of unique boundary strings. Reaching version 1.0.0 marked a significant milestone, indicating stability and readiness for production use. Subsequent releases, like 1.7.2 and 1.8.0, saw upgrades to development dependencies such as ava and typescript, ensuring the ongoing maintenance and compatibility.
Version 2.0.0 and beyond saw a shift in development dependencies, dropping some while others were upgraded. The module has seen a steady cadence of releases, upgrading to newer versions of Typescript, Node, and related tooling.
The latest major release from 3.0.0 to 4.1.0 brought refactoring, support for the latest tooling such as @biomejs/biome, and enhanced the overall reliability of the form-data-encoder. Each version has ensured alignment with modern web development practices, continually improving the developer experience and bolstering the package's utility in handling FormData encoding.
