Node Zendesk Versions Save

🚀 Introducing node-zendesk v5.0.0: A Developer's Delight! 🚀

Hey Devs! We're super excited to roll out the major release of the node-zendesk library - version v5.0.0. This isn't just another release; it's a testament to our commitment to enhancing your developer experience.

🔍 Here's What's Cooking in v5.0.0:

• TypeScript Awesomeness: Dive into a strongly-typed world with our new TypeScript declaration files. Enjoy precise intellisense and fewer runtime errors. Thanks to @Coaktion for leading this!

• Refined Codebase: We've restructured the client codebase, making it more intuitive and modular. Navigate, extend, or integrate with ease.

• Docs That Empower: Our refreshed documentation is more than just a guide—it's your companion in building amazing things with node-zendesk.

• Blazing Fast Builds: With Esbuild under the hood, expect lightning-fast builds. Plus, our TypeScript declarations are now auto-generated, ensuring they're always in sync.

• Robust Testing: Sleep easy with our expanded test suite and mocks. Continuous integration via GitHub Actions means every commit is battle-tested.

• API Access Evolution: Note the shift - apiTypes like helpcenter are now accessed as client.helpcenter.resource.action(). It's more intuitive and aligns with modern API design patterns.

• Quality & Dependencies: With updated dependencies and rigorous linting, we've squashed those pesky bugs and polished the rough edges.

• Hats Off: A standing ovation for @onhate for the DX enhancements and @cryptomail for fortifying our tests with nock.

Dive deep into our commit history to witness our relentless pursuit of developer joy.

Cheers to crafting, debugging, and deploying with enhanced joy and efficiency! 🍻

Announcement: node-zendesk v4.0.0 Update 🚀

We're thrilled to announce a significant update to the Node-Zendesk package!

Notable Changes:

• Dependencies Removed: We've removed the following dependencies - request, querystring, async, and nconf. As a result of removing nconf, command-line arguments will no longer work. However, these were buggy, so this change shouldn't affect the usage much. For configuration, you can now use dotenv. Refer to our examples for more clarity.

• Promises & Async/Await: Callbacks have been ditched in favor of promise or async/await patterns. If you need guidance on updating your code, check out the example here.

• Accessing Side Loads: To access side loads, the format is now client.<resource>.setSideLoad(). Ensure you use this before calling any API endpoints and after client instantiation. For instance: client.users.setSideLoad(["roles","organizations"]).

For comprehensive details, the changelog is your best friend!

Documentation: A significant documentation update is on the horizon. Keep an eye on this issue for more information.

A colossal shout out to @teebot and @cryptomail for making this release possible! 🎉

Happy Coding!
