3.0.0

• gradient-string v3 is now written in TypeScript & pure ESM
• All dependencies are up-to-date, all security issues patched
• New super-fast unit tests made with Vitest
• Improved documentation

⚠️ v2 to v3 migration

Breaking changes

• gradient-string requires Node.js 14+ (instead of 10 before)
• You cannot require gradient-string anymore, you have to import it

  - const gradient = require('gradient-string');
  + import gradient, { rainbow } from 'gradient-string';

Deprecated

The following recommendations are not breaking changes, but you should migrate your code to avoid problems in the future.
N.B You may see @deprecated warnings or TypeScript errors/warnings if you decide not to.

// Don't use aliases like this
- import gradient from 'gradient-string';
- gradient.rainbow('Hello, World!');

// Import aliases separately instead
+ import { rainbow } from 'gradient-string';
+ rainbow('Hello, World!');

// Don't separate your colors in different arguments
- const coolGradient = gradient('red', 'blue')('Hello, World!');

// Use an array instead
+ const coolGradient = gradient(['red', 'blue'])('Hello, World!');

// Don't pass your options when you call your already initialized gradient
- const coolGradient = gradient(['red', 'blue'])
- coolGradient('Hello, World!', { interpolation: 'hsv' }); // Options were needed here
// Pass your options directly when you initialize it
+ const coolGradient = gradient(['red', 'blue'], { interpolation: 'hsv' }) // Pass them here
+ coolGradient('Hello, World!');
