Package-name-regex has been updated to version 4.0.0, offering developers a reliable regular expression for validating NPM package names. Comparing it with the previous stable version, 3.1.1, the core functionality remains the same: providing a robust regex for this crucial validation task. However, some subtle differences and upgrades are noticeable.
The most significant change is the dependency update. Version 4.0.0 now depends on "@dword-design/base" version ^11.0.6, whereas the previous version relied on ^9.5.7. This likely indicates improvements and potentially breaking changes within the base library, which could impact the package-name-regex package indirectly. Developers should investigate the changes in "@dword-design/base" when upgrading. Beyond this, the unpacked size has also slightly increased likely as a knock on effect from the updated dependency.
Both versions maintain the same MIT license, author information, and repository details, ensuring continuity in licensing and support. The library remains funded through GitHub Sponsors. Developers relying on package-name validation within their tooling, build processes, or publishing workflows will find this library essential. Its consistent provision of an accurate regular expression minimizes errors and ensures adherence to NPM's naming conventions. Remember to check the new dependency in "@dword-design/base" to ensure compatibilty in your particular project.
