Introduction

Handles your undo and redo, customizable to your liking

Usage & Demo

GitHub Release

1. Place this line on your template file:

   <script src="https://github.com/RinMinase/history-handler/releases/latest/download/history-handler.min.js"></script>

NPM

1. You can install history-handler using npm

   npm install history-handler

2. Add it on your module, like so

   /** For JavaScript */
   const history = require("history-handler");

   /** For TypeScript */
   import history from "history-handler";

3. Use it in your code, like so

   // Initialize the history
   history();
   
   // Add some actions to the buffer
   history.action("action");
   history.action("another action");
   
   const buffer = history.buffer();
   // variable would be "another action"
   
   const action = history.undo();
   // variable would be "another action"
   buffer = history.getBuffer();
   // variable would be "action"
   
   const redo = history.redo();
   // variable would be "another action"

How it works

This library contains 1 buffer and 2 array buffers to hold your objects for managing history.

• buffer - contains the current action being done
• undo array buffer - contains the previous actions being done
• redo array buffer - contains the actions after using undo

What each method does:

(constructor) history(buffer_length: number)

• The buffer_length indicates the limit of the undo and redo buffers
• Has a default value of 10
• If new items go beyond the stated length, the lowest item in the buffer would be removed

Action(item: object | string | number)

• Pushes the current buffer to the undo stack
• Pushes the item of types object | string | number to the buffer

Undo: object | string | number

• Pushes the current buffer to the redo stack
• Pops out the last element of the undo stack
• Places the last element in the current buffer
• Returns the buffer

Redo: object | string | number

• Pushes the current buffer to the undo stack
• Pops out the last element of the redo stack
• Places the last element in the current buffer
• Returns the buffer

Clear: void

• Clears all the buffers

GetBuffer: object | string | number

• Returns the current buffer

GetUndoBuffer: Array < object | string | number >

• Returns the undo array buffer

GetRedoBuffer: Array < object | string | number >

• Returns the redo array buffer
