A modern utility library for JavaScript and TypeScript, both for the browser and for Node.js, that helps you solve routine tasks and common problems in a fast way, therefore letting you focus on what matters (building awesome stuff!)

Why utilist

utilist is the spiritual successor of Underscore and Lodash, but it has been built in a time when ES6+ and the latest versions of the evergreen browsers and Node.js have effectively made redundant quite a big part of the functionality of those libraries.

With this in mind, utilist is:

  • lean, as it only implements utilities that are still useful in the present times.
  • performant, because it's modular and tree-shakeable, so you only add to your bundle those bytes that you're actually using.
  • reliable and safe, for it's built without any external dependencies, and fully written in TypeScript.

Installation

Using npm

npm install utilist

Using yarn

yarn add utilist

Usage

utilist is exported in both CommonJS and ESM formats. This means you can import it with both require (mostly for Node.js environments) and import syntaxes.

Example

import { shuffle } from 'utilist'; // shuffles an array

shuffle<number>([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]); // returns [2, 5, 3, 4, 1]
