PreUpVer Library

Introduction

PreUpVer is a versatile JavaScript library designed to automatically update the version numbers of library scripts in your documentation. It identifies specific <pre> tags on your webpage and updates them with the latest version tag fetched from a specified repository, ensuring your documentation always displays up-to-date information.

Installation

To use PreUpVer in your project, include the minified library in the header of your HTML page:

<!-- Include the PreUpVer script from jsDelivr CDN -->
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/Llewellynvdm/PreUpVer@1.0.0/dist/js/preupver.min.js"></script>

How It Works

PreUpVer operates by searching for <pre> tags with a designated class (preupver) and using their data attributes to perform version updates. It simplifies the process of keeping your library references up-to-date in documentation.

Automatic Detection and Updating

When the webpage loads, PreUpVer finds all <pre> tags marked with the preupver class. It then extracts necessary details from their data attributes and updates each tag with the latest library version.

Usage

  1. Marking <pre> Tags:

    Add the class="preupver" to <pre> tags in your HTML and define the required data attributes for automatic updating:

    <pre id="unique-id" class="preupver"
         data-api-url="https://api.github.com/repos/username/library/tags"
         data-description="Description of the library script"
         data-url="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/username/library@${version}/dist/library.min.js">
    </pre>
    

    Replace unique-id, username, library, and other placeholders with your specific details.

  2. Attributes Explained:

    • id: A unique identifier for the <pre> tag.
    • data-api-url: The API URL to fetch the latest library version.
    • data-description: A brief description of the library script.
    • data-url: The URL of the script, where ${version} will be replaced with the latest version number.

Example

Check out the tests folder for the examples we use to test if this library works as expected.

Advanced Usage

For more advanced scenarios, PreUpVer also provides TargetLibrary and IncludeVersionUpdater classes, which can be used to manually configure and update <pre> tags. This is particularly useful for custom implementations or testing purposes.

Manual Configuration

You can manually create instances of TargetLibrary and IncludeVersionUpdater for specific <pre> tags. Refer to the /tests directory in the repository for examples and test cases.
