@ferdaber/jslib-extensions v1.0.1

What is this?

This is a personal library used to extend the standard JS library with more prototype methods and getters. This is not intended to be used for serious projects as prototype method extensions of built-ins are normally frowned upon since they can collide with each other. To at least minimize collisions, all extension methods are prefixed with $.

Install

npm install @ferdaber/jslib-extensions

Usage

This library only supports ES Modules.

import "@ferdaber/jslib-extensions"
// Now new prototype methods will be available for arrays, objects, numbers, strings and sets.

Development

This project uses Yarn as its package manager.

Setup

yarn install

Testing

yarn test
