asn1-ts - npm Package Versions

[7.0.11]

• Fix invalid type for _encode_choice
• Fix invalid validation of SEQUENCE types with a trailing root component type list.
  • This would cause an error saying SEQUENCE '<sequence name>' had excess elements at the end.

[7.0.0]

Make ENUMERATED have number type only. This is most just to avoid breaking existing code. This is important, because:

• In common use cases, you'll compare enumerated values. Using the === strict equality operator, a bigint will not equate to a number of similar value. So supporting bigint would complicate comparisons.
• You may wish to represent ENUMERATED types as actual enums. If you do, you would not be able to represent all decoded values as a member of that enum without first converting the bigint into a number.
• ENUMERATED types typically do not have absurdly large values.

[6.0.0]

It's 2021 and we have Browserify and BigInt. We can use Buffer methods to encode and decode integers (instead rolling our own implementation for Uint8Array), and we can use BigInt so that we can support INTEGER and ENUMERATED values that are infinitely large!

This does mean that I have removed the Webpack configuration. If you want this in a web app, it really should just be packed along with your project as a whole rather than imported separately. If you really want it as a separate import, the only thing you should have to do is define Buffer in the global context.
