Safe-regex-test offers a robust solution for developers needing to test regular expressions safely and reliably in JavaScript environments. Version 1.1.0 builds upon the foundations of version 1.0.3, introducing notable updates for modern development workflows. 1.1.0 bumps the peer dependencies to more modern versions.
Specifically, version 1.1.0 has updated the is-regex dependency to version 1.2.1, and call-bind to version ^1.0.2, whereas the older version 1.0.3 uses is-regex version 1.1.4 and call-bind version ^1.0.6. Furthermore, the development dependencies have been upgraded significantly in the latest release. This includes tools like @arethetypeswrong/cli, @ljharb/eslint-config, @types/for-each, @types/object-inspect, @types/tape, auto-changelog, and typescript. These updates suggest a focus on improved type safety, code quality, and automated changelog generation, facilitating a smoother developer experience. Version 1.1.0 also sees an increase in fileCount within the distributed tarball (from 9 to 11) and unpackedSize (from 10227 to 11917 bytes), possibly reflecting the inclusion of new or updated files related to these improved development tools and potentially some new tests to ensure type safety.
Developers choosing between the versions should consider their project's tooling and dependency constraints. If leveraging the latest in type checking, linting, and automated documentation, version 1.1.0 is preferable. The core functionality remains consistent: providing a reliable mechanism to test regex patterns against strings, mitigating potential security risks. Both versions maintain the MIT license, ensuring flexibility for various project types.
