# PreUpVer Library

## Introduction

PreUpVer is a versatile JavaScript library designed to automatically update the version numbers of library scripts in your documentation. It identifies specific `

` tags on your webpage and updates them with the latest version tag fetched from a specified repository, ensuring your documentation always displays up-to-date information.

## Installation

To use PreUpVer in your project, include the minified library in the header of your HTML page:

```html

```

## How It Works

PreUpVer operates by searching for `

` tags with a designated class (`preupver`) and using their data attributes to perform version updates. It simplifies the process of keeping your library references up-to-date in documentation.

### Automatic Detection and Updating

When the webpage loads, PreUpVer finds all `

` tags marked with the `preupver` class. It then extracts necessary details from their data attributes and updates each tag with the latest library version.

### Usage

1. **Marking `

` Tags:**

Add the `class="preupver"` to `

` tags in your HTML and define the required data attributes for automatic updating:

```html



```

Replace `unique-id`, `username`, `library`, and other placeholders with your specific details.

2. **Attributes Explained:**

- `id`: A unique identifier for the `

` tag.

- `data-api-url`: The API URL to fetch the latest library version.
- `data-description`: A brief description of the library script.
- `data-url`: The URL of the script, where `${version}` will be replaced with the latest version number.

### Example

Check out the [tests](https://git.vdm.dev/Llewellyn/PreUpVer/src/branch/master/tests/) folder for the examples we use to test if this library works as expected.

## Advanced Usage

For more advanced scenarios, PreUpVer also provides `TargetLibrary` and `IncludeVersionUpdater` classes, which can be used to manually configure and update `

` tags. This is particularly useful for custom implementations or testing purposes.

### Manual Configuration

You can manually create instances of `TargetLibrary` and `IncludeVersionUpdater` for specific `

` tags. Refer to the `/tests` directory in the repository for examples and test cases.
