Word-wrap is a lightweight and efficient npm package designed to wrap words to a specified length, enhancing text formatting in various applications. Version 1.0.1, released on February 27, 2015, builds upon the foundation of version 1.0.0, which was released on December 4, 2014. Both versions share the core functionality of word wrapping and are authored by Jon Schlinkert.
Developers leveraging word-wrap can easily manage text layout, ensuring readability and visual appeal, especially when dealing with constrained spaces or diverse screen sizes. Version 1.0.0 includes "should" as a devDependency, useful for writing expressive tests and assertions. Version 1.0.1 introduces "mocha" alongside "should" as a devDependency. "mocha" is a feature-rich JavaScript test framework known for asynchronous testing, report generation, customization, and broad browser support. This suggests an enhanced testing suite with version 1.0.1, potentially indicating increased stability and reliability.
While the core word-wrapping logic remains consistent, the addition of Mocha in the newer version signifies a commitment to improved testing practices. Developers upgrading to version 1.0.1 can expect a more thoroughly tested library without breaking changes in functionality. Both versions remain minimal and focused, proving to be useful in any JavaScript project.
