properties-reader 3.0.0

v3.0.0

on Node.js NPM

Major Changes

• 397e333: ### Enhancements since v2:

  • Reading properties is now streamlined to optimise inbound processing
    performance, where v2 prepared the internal props store for use in output
    formats (getRaw/path etc) which v3 will now lazily evaluate on read.

  • Properties in the return from props.path() are lazily evaluated and
    enumerable, allowing the use of JSON.stringify etc.

  • Generators and iterators used throughout to improve performance when
    reading and writing large properties files.

  • TypeScript types now bundled with the package.

  New APIs since v2:

  • props.entries()
    New preferred means of iterating on all properties, use in for/of
    loops as you would with standard Map or Object.entries objects.

  • props.entries({ parsed: true })
    New preferred means of iterating on all properties with
    boolean and number property values parsed.

  • props.out()
    Gets an iterator for the generated output for use in for/of loops or
    in an Array.from() etc.

  Deprecated APIs since v2:

  • props.bindToExpress
    Switch to using the separate bindToExpress(...) function.

  • props.each
    Prefer use of props.entries() for iterating on the raw values in the reader.

  • props.getAllProperties
    Prefer use of Object.fromEntries( props.entries() )

  Breaking changes since v2:

  • props.save(filePath): Promise<void>
    • no longer returns the generated output string, to iterate on the generated
      file content use the new props.out() iterator.
    • appends a trailing carriage return to the output file
