is-odd-ts v1.0.1

is-odd-ts

A strict TypeScript utility to check if a number is odd, with modern type safety and support for edge cases.

Welcome to is-odd-ts, a lightweight utility for checking if a number is odd, built specifically with strict TypeScript settings. Whether you're working with everyday integers or hitting edge cases like NaN, Infinity, or very large numbers, this package has you covered.

Why use is-odd-ts?

• Type Safety: Written in TypeScript with the strictest settings, so you get full type safety in your projects.
• Handles Edge Cases: Checks for non-integers, NaN, Infinity, and numbers beyond JavaScript’s safe integer range.
• No Dependencies: It's small, fast, and doesn’t add bloat to your project.
• Modern ESM: Fully compatible with modern JavaScript (ESM) and TypeScript setups.
• Formatted and Linted: This package is formatted and linted using Biome.js, ensuring clean and consistent code.

Installation

You can install it with npm:

npm install is-odd-ts

Or with yarn:

yarn add is-odd-ts

Usage

import { isOdd } from 'is-odd-ts';

console.log(isOdd(1));  // true
console.log(isOdd(2));  // false
console.log(isOdd(-3)); // true
console.log(isOdd(0));  // false

Common Edge Cases

isOdd(NaN);         // Throws: "Expected a finite number"
isOdd(Infinity);    // Throws: "Expected a finite number"
isOdd(-Infinity);   // Throws: "Expected a finite number"
isOdd(1.5);         // Throws: "Expected an integer"
isOdd(Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER);  // true
isOdd(Number.MIN_SAFE_INTEGER);  // true

Features

• Zero and Negative Zero: Both return false (since zero is even).
• Floats: Throws an error if you try passing in a float.
• Infinity & NaN: Throws errors for invalid inputs like NaN, Infinity, and -Infinity.

• Handles large numbers: Safely checks numbers up to and including JavaScript’s Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER and Number.MIN_SAFE_INTEGER.

Testing & Reliability

I've put effort into testing this utility across a variety of scenarios to make sure it behaves consistently and handles edge cases properly. The tests cover:

• Regular odd and even integers (both positive and negative).
• Handling of zero and negative zero.
• Large numbers, including Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER and `Number.MIN_SAFE_INTEGER.
• Proper error handling for invalid inputs like NaN, Infinity, floats, and values beyond safe integer limits.

Tests have been written using Node's native test runner. Run the tests locally with:

npm run test
