Prewind Changelog

v2.1.0 — 2026-02-26

🚀 New Features

• Verbose Logging:

  • Added -v, --verbose option to log detailed file processing information.
  • Prints Changed / Unchanged files along with their output path for all modes (dry-run, write, out).

• Colored Console Output:

  • Integrated picocolors for cleaner CLI display.
  • Spinner and summary messages now use colors for better readability (green for success, red for errors, dim for informational messages).

• Safe --out Handling:

  • CLI now fully supports --out for single files or directories.
  • File targets are type-safe and guaranteed to be strings (target variable).

• Dry-Run Default:

  • CLI defaults to --dry-run if no mode is specified.
  • Shows preview of transformed files without modifying them.

• Concurrency Support:

  • File processing now uses concurrent workers (default 8) for faster performance on large projects.

• Prettier-Plugin Friendly Imports:

  • Added prettier-plugin-organize-imports support.
  • Improves import order and code formatting automatically.

⚡ CLI Updates

• New Options:

  --dry-run      # Preview changes without writing (default)
  -w, --write    # Overwrite files in place
  -o, --out <dir># Output directory or file for transformed files
  -v, --verbose  # Show detailed file processing logs
  --ignore <patterns...> # Glob patterns to ignore

• Behavior Improvements:

  • --write now prompts confirmation before destructive file changes.

  • Summary now includes:

    • Files scanned
    • Files changed
    • Unchanged
    • Replacements
    • Mode
    • Time (ms)

🛠 Under-the-Hood Improvements

• ProcessFiles Refactor:

  • queue now uses Array#toSorted() instead of sort() for immutability and ESLint unicorn/no-array-sort compliance.
  • countReplacements() moved to outer scope to satisfy unicorn/consistent-function-scoping.
  • target type is fully safe (string) for all modes.

• Error Handling Enhancements:

  • Improved dry-run and out mode error messages.
  • CLI now exits gracefully with informative messages for invalid combinations (--write + --out, no matched files, etc.).

• Spinner Integration:

  • Processing uses @clack/prompts spinner for visual feedback.
  • Spinner stops on success, failure, or cancellation.
