Advanced JavaScript Kit

Modern TypeScript utility library with tree-shaking support - Comprehensive collection of array, string, number, network, sleep, and JWT utilities for JavaScript and TypeScript projects.

A collection of advanced JavaScript/TypeScript utility functions for modern development.

🌐 Environment Compatibility

This library is designed to work across multiple JavaScript environments with platform-specific exports:

• ✅ advanced-js-kit - Universal utilities that work in Node.js, Browser, and Web Workers
• 🟡 advanced-js-kit/node - Node.js-only utilities + all universal utilities
• 🟢 advanced-js-kit/browser - Browser-optimized utilities + all universal utilities
• 📦 Individual imports - advanced-js-kit/module/function for maximum tree-shaking

Breaking Change (v1.1.0): Node.js-only modules (network, jwt) are no longer exported from the main package. Use advanced-js-kit/node instead.

Features

• 🚀 TypeScript Support - Full TypeScript support with type definitions
• 📦 Tree Shakable - Import only what you need
• 🧪 Well Tested - Comprehensive test coverage
• 📖 Well Documented - JSDoc comments for all functions
• 🔧 Modern Build - Built with tsup for optimal bundling
• 💡 Excellent IDE Support - Full auto-completion and IntelliSense support
• 🌐 Cross-Platform - Works in Node.js, browsers, and web workers

Installation

Usage

Universal Modules (Work Everywhere)

For maximum compatibility, import universal modules that work in Node.js, Browser, and Web Workers:

import { chunk, capitalize, clamp, sleep, convertToSeconds } from 'advanced-js-kit';

// Array utilities
const chunkedArray = chunk([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], 2);
// Result: [[1, 2], [3, 4], [5]]

// String utilities
const capitalizedString = capitalize('hello world');
// Result: "Hello world"

// Number utilities
const clampedNumber = clamp(15, 0, 10);
// Result: 10

// Sleep utilities
await sleep({ seconds: 2, milliseconds: 500 }); // Sleep for 2.5 seconds

// Time utilities
const seconds = convertToSeconds({ minutes: 5, seconds: 30 });
// Result: 330 (seconds)

Node.js-Only Modules

For Node.js-specific functionality (network operations, JWT handling):

import { isPortInUse, findAvailablePort, jwtSign, jwtVerify } from 'advanced-js-kit/node';

// Network utilities (Node.js only)
const portInUse = await isPortInUse(3000);
const availablePort = await findAvailablePort({ startPort: 8000 });

// JWT utilities (Node.js only)
const token = jwtSign({ userId: '123' }, 'your-secret-key');
const payload = jwtVerify(token, 'your-secret-key');

// Note: Universal utilities are also available from /node for convenience
import { chunk, capitalize } from 'advanced-js-kit/node';

Browser-Only Modules

For browser-specific optimizations (currently same as universal, but future-proof):

import { chunk, capitalize, clamp, sleep, convertToSeconds } from 'advanced-js-kit/browser';

// Currently includes all universal utilities
// Future browser-specific features will be added here

Environment-Specific Usage

import { 
  isNodeEnvironment, 
  EnvironmentError 
} from 'advanced-js-kit';

// Check environment before using Node.js-only features
if (isNodeEnvironment()) {
  // Use Node.js-specific imports
  const { isPortInUse } = await import('advanced-js-kit/node');
  const { jwtSign } = await import('advanced-js-kit/node');

  const portInUse = await isPortInUse(3000);
  const token = jwtSign({ userId: '123' }, 'secret');
} else {
  console.log('Using browser-compatible features only');
  // Use browser/universal imports
  const { chunk, capitalize } = await import('advanced-js-kit/browser');
}

Error Handling

import { jwtVerify, EnvironmentError } from 'advanced-js-kit/node';

try {
  const payload = jwtVerify(token, secret);
} catch (error) {
  if (error instanceof EnvironmentError) {
    console.log(`Feature not available: ${error.message}`);
    console.log(`Required: ${error.requiredEnvironment}, Current: ${error.currentEnvironment}`);
  }
}

Tree-shaking Support

You can also import individual functions for optimal tree-shaking:

// Universal utilities - individual imports
import { chunk } from 'advanced-js-kit/array/chunk';
import { capitalize } from 'advanced-js-kit/string/capitalize';
import { clamp } from 'advanced-js-kit/number/clamp';
import { sleep } from 'advanced-js-kit/sleep/sleep';
import { convertToSeconds } from 'advanced-js-kit/time/time';

// Node.js-only utilities - individual imports  
import { isPortInUse, findAvailablePort } from 'advanced-js-kit/network/port';
import { jwtSign, jwtVerify } from 'advanced-js-kit/jwt/jwt';

// Platform-specific bundles (recommended)
import { chunk, capitalize, clamp } from 'advanced-js-kit';        // Universal only
import { isPortInUse, jwtSign, chunk } from 'advanced-js-kit/node';     // Node.js + Universal
import { chunk, capitalize, sleep } from 'advanced-js-kit/browser';   // Browser + Universal

📋 Available Modules

✅ Universal Modules (Node.js + Browser + Web Workers)

🟡 Node.js Only Modules

Note: Node.js-only modules will throw EnvironmentError when used in non-Node.js environments.

TypeScript Configuration

For optimal compatibility with this package, ensure your tsconfig.json uses modern module resolution:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "moduleResolution": "bundler", // or "node16"/"nodenext"
    "module": "ESNext", // or "Node16"
    "esModuleInterop": true,
    "allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true,
    "skipLibCheck": true
  }
}

Troubleshooting Import Issues

If you encounter module resolution errors like:

Cannot find module 'advanced-js-kit/string/capitalize' or its corresponding type declarations

Try these solutions:

1. Update your TypeScript configuration to use modern module resolution (see above)
2. Ensure you're using a recent Node.js version (16+ recommended)
3. Copy the example configuration from example-tsconfig-for-consumers.json in this package
4. As a workaround, you can import directly from the dist folder:

   import { capitalize } from "advanced-js-kit/dist/string/capitalize.js";

IDE Support

This package provides excellent IDE support with:

• Auto-completion for all functions and their parameters
• Type checking with full TypeScript support
• JSDoc documentation shown in hover tooltips
• Auto-import suggestions when typing function names
