@nevware21/ts-utils Documentation

Comprehensive TypeScript/JavaScript Utility Library

Overview

This documentation site provides comprehensive guides and reference materials for @nevware21/ts-utils, a collection of general JavaScript functions written in TypeScript. These utilities help reduce code duplication, improve minification, and provide consistent functionality across different JavaScript environments.

If you find this library useful, please consider sponsoring @nevware21 to support ongoing development and maintenance.

Library Features

• TypeScript-first design with full type definitions
• Comprehensive test coverage across Node.js, browsers, and web workers
• Optimized for tree-shaking and minification
• Zero dependencies
• Cross-environment compatibility (Browser, Node.js, Web Workers)
• Extensive type checking utilities
• Modern ECMAScript features with backward compatibility
• Polyfill support for older environments

Polyfill Information

Some polyfills are provided for simple backward compatibility to enable the utility functions in older environments. These polyfills are not exported as part of the main module. If you need them, you will need to:

1. Import the “polyfill” file directly
2. Host and load the provided bundle/ts-polyfills-utils.min.js
3. Or provide your own alternative implementations

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I use ts-utils instead of native methods?

You should consider using ts-utils when:

• You need consistent cross-environment behavior
• You want better minification for repeated operations
• You need backward compatibility with older browsers
• You’re working with a large codebase and want consistent utility functions

Does using ts-utils increase my bundle size?

No, ts-utils is designed with tree-shaking in mind. You only pay for what you import, and the minified versions of these functions are typically smaller than their native counterparts when used repeatedly.
