@mitranim/js NPM

Overview

Kinda "JS standard library" that doesn't suck. Or sucks less than X, insert some alternative here.

Important non-features:

Doesn't require Node or Deno.
Doesn't require TypeScript.
Doesn't require a transpiler.
Doesn't require a bundler.
Doesn't require NPM.
No external dependencies.
No prototype pollution.
No globals.
No slowness.

Important features:

Environment-independent. Runs in browsers, Deno, Node.
- Approximate browser compatibility: evergreen, Safari 11+.
- Node compatibility: 18+.
Compact and performant.
Relatively few source files.
Relatively clear source code.
Native JS modules. Can be imported by URL.

Alternatives that suck:

Using only built-ins.
Google Closure.
Deno stdlib.
Lodash.
Various other things.

Usage

Uses native JS modules, which can be imported by URL in browsers and Deno. The truly lazy can import many core modules at once:

import * as a from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@mitranim/js@0.1.59/all.mjs'

Otherwise, import specific modules you need. See the list below. Example:

import * as l from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@mitranim/js@0.1.59/lang.mjs'
import * as s from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@mitranim/js@0.1.59/str.mjs'

Also available on NPM:

npm i -E @mitranim/js
