Utility Helper Functions

A comprehensive collection of utility functions designed to simplify and streamline various tasks such as string manipulation, date handling, file operations, and more. This library provides a robust toolset that can be integrated into various applications.

This is really a collection of common functions that I have used in various projects over the years. I decided to consolidate them into a single library to make it easier to reuse them in future projects. I also wanted to make it easier to share them with others who may find them useful.

At this time I have no intentions of supporting pull requests, offer no support or will be heald liable for any issues your applications may have or cause. I am simply sharing this code in the hopes that it may be useful to others.

Features

String Manipulation: Functions to handle string operations such as generating random characters, converting strings, and more.
File Operations: A set of utilities for handling files, including reading, writing, and MIME type detection.
JSON Utilities: Convert JSON to query strings and vice versa, along with other JSON related utilities.
Date Utilities: Functions to validate, convert, and manipulate dates.
Crypto: Utilities to generate MD5 hashes.
Array and Object Manipulation: Functions to clean, merge, and manipulate arrays and objects.
Miscellaneous Utilities: From generating UUIDs to handling paths, this collection encompasses a wide range of general-purpose functions.

Installation

To install the helpers utility library directly from GitHub, use the following command:

npm install github:docluv/helpers

After installation, you can then require and use the utility functions in your Node.js project:

const utils = require('helpers');

Usage

Here are some sample usages of the functions:

String Manipulation

Generate a random character:

const { randomChar } = require('helpers');
console.log(randomChar());

File Operations

Read a JSON file:

const { readJSON } = require('helpers');
const data = readJSON('path-to-json-file');

console.log(data);
