Summary
Changes
This PR introduces updates to the API docs & README file for the
commons
utility.The main focus of the changes is to document every function/method/type in a consistent and informative way so that the API docs are populated with an even level of details.
Likewise, when it comes to the README file of the utility, I have removed a lot of the fluff and kept actionable and useful info to get a high level view of the package specifically, and then about the project after that.
The rationale behind this change is that the README file, which is used as "cover page" for the utility in the API docs and on npmjs.com, should give a quick overview of what the package is about first and foremost.
