npm install new-filename

```

## Usage

/**
 * Generating a new filename to avoid names in the list by adding sequenced number
 * @param list - Filenames already in use
 * @param name - New filenames about to use
 * @returns Generated new filename
 */
getNewFilename(list: string[]]), name: string): string
```

### Example

```javascript
import getNewFilename from 'new-filename';

const newName = getNewFilename([
  'untitled.txt',
  'untitled (2).txt',
  'file3.txt',
  'file4.java',
], 'untitled.txt');

console.log(newName);
// => 'untitled (3).txt'
```
