@furystack/utils

General utilities for FuryStack.

Installation

npm install @furystack/utils
# or
yarn add @furystack/utils

Disposable

You can implement disposable resources and use them with using() or usingAsync() syntax:

import { using, usingAsync } from '@furystack/utils'

class Resource implements Disposable {
  [Symbol.dispose]() {
    // cleanup logic
  }
}

using(new Resource(), (resource) => {
  // do something with the resource
})

await usingAsync(new Resource(), async (resource) => {
  // do something with the resource, allows awaiting promises
})

ObservableValue

You can track value changes using this simple Observable implementation:

import { ObservableValue } from '@furystack/utils'

const observableValue = new ObservableValue<number>(0)
const observer = observableValue.subscribe((newValue) => {
  console.log('Value changed:', newValue)
})

// To update the value
observableValue.setValue(Math.random())
// To dispose a single observer
observer[Symbol.dispose]()
// To dispose the whole observableValue with all of its observers:
observableValue[Symbol.dispose]()

PathHelper

Helper class for path-related functions and methods:

import { PathHelper } from '@furystack/utils'

PathHelper.joinPaths('api', 'users', '123') // 'api/users/123'
PathHelper.getSegments('/api/users/123') // ['api', 'users', '123']
PathHelper.getParentPath('/api/users/123') // 'api/users'
PathHelper.trimSlashes('/api/') // 'api'
PathHelper.joinUrl('http://example.com', '/api') // 'http://example.com/api'

deepMerge

Deep merge objects together:

import { deepMerge } from '@furystack/utils'

const target = { a: 1, b: { c: 2 } }
const source = { b: { d: 3 } }
const result = deepMerge(target, source) // { a: 1, b: { c: 2, d: 3 } }

sleepAsync

Simple promise-based sleep utility:

import { sleepAsync } from '@furystack/utils'

await sleepAsync(1000) // wait 1 second

debounce

Debounce a function to limit how often it can be called:

import { debounce } from '@furystack/utils'

const debouncedSearch = debounce((query: string) => {
  console.log('Searching for:', query)
}, 300)

debouncedSearch('hello') // Will only execute after 300ms of no calls

EventHub

A typed event emitter:

import { EventHub } from '@furystack/utils'

type MyEvents = {
  userLoggedIn: { userId: string }
  userLoggedOut: { userId: string }
}

const hub = new EventHub<MyEvents>()

hub.subscribe('userLoggedIn', (event) => {
  console.log('User logged in:', event.userId)
})

hub.emit('userLoggedIn', { userId: '123' })

sortBy

Array prototype extension for convenient sorting by field name:

import '@furystack/utils' // Adds sortBy to Array prototype

const users = [
  { name: 'Charlie', age: 30 },
  { name: 'Alice', age: 25 },
  { name: 'Bob', age: 35 },
]

// Sort by name ascending (default)
const byName = users.sortBy('name')
// [{ name: 'Alice', ... }, { name: 'Bob', ... }, { name: 'Charlie', ... }]

// Sort by age descending
const byAgeDesc = users.sortBy('age', 'desc')
// [{ name: 'Bob', age: 35 }, { name: 'Charlie', age: 30 }, { name: 'Alice', age: 25 }]

You can also use the compareBy function directly for custom sorting:

import { compareBy } from '@furystack/utils'

const users = [{ name: 'Charlie' }, { name: 'Alice' }]
users.sort((a, b) => compareBy(a, b, 'name', 'asc'))

tuple

Helper function for creating typed tuples from string literals:

import { tuple } from '@furystack/utils'

// Creates a tuple type ['admin', 'user', 'guest'] instead of string[]
const roles = tuple('admin', 'user', 'guest')

// TypeScript knows the exact values
type Role = (typeof roles)[number] // 'admin' | 'user' | 'guest'

Type Guards

Check if a value is disposable:

import { isDisposable, isAsyncDisposable } from '@furystack/utils'

if (isDisposable(value)) {
  value[Symbol.dispose]()
}

if (isAsyncDisposable(value)) {
  await value[Symbol.asyncDispose]()
}

DeepPartial

A utility type for deep partial objects:

import type { DeepPartial } from '@furystack/utils'

type Config = {
  server: {
    host: string
    port: number
  }
  database: {
    url: string
  }
}

// All nested properties are optional
const partialConfig: DeepPartial<Config> = {
  server: { port: 8080 }, // host is optional
}
