exifr - npm Package Versions

[4.3.0]

Quality-Of-Life release. Improves compatibility and ease of use with various tools and environments.

Changed

• all ESM bundles are now available in two identical copies with different file extensions. .mjs and .js for ESM, .cjs and .js for UMD. Just pick one that works with your tooling or environment.
• Backtracking on using only "type":"module" in package.json as the only way to define the module as ESM.
• package.json's "main" points to UMD bundle full.esm.mjs instead of UMD full.umd.js.
• Added default export which wraps all named exports into single object.

[4.2.0]

Changed

• Simplified and improved implementation of thumbnail() and thumbnailUrl().
• Improved typescript types. Added HTMLImageElement to input.

[4.1.0]

Added

• Support for IE10

Breaking changes (for IE / legacy bundle)

• No need to use these polyfills anymore: TextDecoder, Object.assign, Object.keys, Object.values, Object.fromEntries, Array.from, Array.prototype.includes, fetch, Map, Set.
• Promise polyfill is needed now instead of regeneratorRuntime

[4.0.0]

Added

• XMP XML Parser
• XMP Extended support. To extract all XMP segments, set options.multiSegment or options.xmp.multiSegment to true.

Changed

• output.xmp is no longer where the XMP segment data are stored. XMP tags are parsed, grouped by namespace and each namespace is assigned directly to output object, like output.xmlns, output.GPano, output.crs and more. This can be disabled by setting options.xmp.parse: false

Fixed

• window.BigInt bug in webworker

[3.0.1]

Fixed

• Fixed types in d.ts (String -> string, Number -> number).

[3.0.0]

Breaking changes

Exports

• renamed ExifParser class to Exifr.
• renamed thumbnailBuffer() function to thumbnail(). It now also returns Uint8Array instead of ArrayBuffer in browser. Node.js version keeps returning Buffer.

Output format

• Renamed options.image block to options.ifd0.
• Renamed options.thumbnail block to options.ifd1.
• renamed & simplified behavior of seekChunkSize and parseChunkSize. See firstChunkSize, firstChunkSizeBrowser, firstChunkSizeNode.
• Changed EXIF & IPTC tag dictionary to match ExifTool. Most tag names remain the same. Some might be changed slightly. You can check out the src/dicts/* files for reference. For example: before {ExposureBiasValue: 0}, after {ExposureCompensation: 0}; before {WhiteBalance: 'Auto white balance'}, after {WhiteBalance: 'Auto'}

Options

• Renamed output.image block to output.ifd0.
• Renamed output.thumbnail block to output.ifd1.
• removed postProcess property and split its behavior to new properties sanitize, translateKeys, translateValues and reviveValues.
• Changed behavior of options.wholeFile and renamed to options.chunked

library bundles

• The library now comes in multiple bundles, with varying number of parsers & tag dictonaries. lite bundle is now recommend as the default for browser use because of its small footprint.
• Broken down parsers and tag dictionaries into multiple files. No all of them are included in lite or mini builds.
• package.json defined module as "type": "module". All .js files are treated as ES Modules by Node.js.

Added

• ICC Parser
• Older browsers support
• multiple new output builds (so users can prevent importing unused code)
• tags filtering (pick/skip options)
• exifr.gps()
