4.0.0

Added

• Dev Dep: c8@8.0.1
• Dev Dep: @babel/eslint-parser (used for assert type during import in test files)
• Dev Dep: @babel/plugin-syntax-import-assertions (used for assert type during import in test files)
• Dev Dep: @valkyriestudios/data-countries
• Dev Dep: @valkyriestudios/data-continents
• Dev Dep: @valkyriestudios/data-timezones
• Rule 'in': Now supports passing a comma-delimited string of string values (eg: in:jpeg,jpg,png) on top of the previous parameter support
• internal benchmark with 4.0.0 results here

Improved

• Dep: Upgrade @valkyriestudios/utils to 9.0.0
• Dep Dep: Upgrade @babel/cli to 7.23.4
• Dev Dep: Upgrade @babel/core to 7.23.5
• Dev Dep: Upgrade @babel/preset-env to 7.23.5
• Dev Dep: Upgrade eslint to 8.55.0
• Switch from using chai/mocha to node native test runner
• Switch internals to .mjs format
• Reduce total bundle size when importing all of validator by not importing full country/continent data packs from @valkyriestudios/utils (still verifying correctness against the packs through tests)
• Published package will now also include original mjs src files which can be imported through @valkyriestudios/validator/src/*
• Performance boost across the board thanks to @valkyriestudios/utils:8.x
• Performance boost across the board due to swapping out internal behaviors supporting pre-2016 browsers for more widely supported primordials (eg Number.isFinite/Number.isInteger/Array.isArray)
• Rule: vPhone ~5% performance improvement on valid phone checks thanks to regex capture group improvements as well as swapping out of startsWith/endsWith vs charAt for single char checks
• Rule: vEmail ~10% performance improvement on valid email checks thanks to regex capture group improvements as well as swapping substring checks for charAt for single char checks
• Rule: vEmail now allows up to 6 characters in TLD (adding support for eg: .coffee as a domain) (@SpekkoRice)
• Rule: vTimeZone 7217% performance improvement due to ditching usage of Intl spec for verifying whether or not a zone exists in favor of embedded timezone/alias names (still being verified through tests with @valkyriestudios/data-timezones)

Breaking

• Rule 'url': Will no longer see a string that is a url after trimming as valid
• Rule 'url_noquery': Will no longer see a string that is a url after trimming as valid
• Validator@extendMulti: Will now throw instead of silently do nothing when passed anything but an object
• Any string-based rules no longer support incoming values created via new String(...)
• Any number-based rules no longer support incoming values created via new Number(...)
• Any boolean-based rules no longer support incoming values created via new Boolean(...)

Fixed

• Rule: vEmail edge-case redos issue in regex behavior (found by CodeQL)
