Migration Path

For Existing Custom Reporters

// Before
class MyReporter {
  generate(result) { /* ... */ }
  private formatDuration(ms) { /* duplicate */ }
}

// After
import { ReporterBase } from 'quality-validator';

class MyReporter extends ReporterBase {
  generate(result) {
    const duration = this.formatDuration(result.metadata.analysisTime);
    // ... use inherited methods
  }
}

For New Code

import {
  ReporterBase,
  validateScoreRange,
  formatBar,
  aggregateFindings,
  scoreToGrade,
} from 'quality-validator';

// Use these instead of creating duplicates
