python-utils-85

python-utils-85 is a lightweight TypeScript utility library designed to bridge the gap between Python-style data handling and modern JavaScript/TypeScript development. It provides robust, chainable helper functions that simplify common array, object, and string manipulation tasks.

Features

• Pythonic Iterables: Includes native-feeling implementations of range(), zip(), and enumerate() for cleaner loop management.
• Deep Path Access: Easily query or modify nested object structures using dot-notation strings, similar to Python’s dict.get().
• Type-Safe Casting: Comprehensive casting utilities that ensure data integrity when sanitizing API responses or legacy JSON blobs.
• Zero Dependencies: Built from the ground up with no external dependencies to keep your bundle size minimal and security footprint low.

Installation

Install the package via npm or yarn:

npm install python-utils-85
# or
yarn add python-utils-85

Basic Usage

The library is designed for tree-shaking support and immediate integration into existing TypeScript projects:

import { range, zip, get } from 'python-utils-85';

// Use range similar to Python
const sequence = range(0, 5); // [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]

// Zip two arrays into an object
const keys = ['id', 'name'];
const values = [1, 'Alice'];
const zipped = zip(keys, values); // { id: 1, name: 'Alice' }

// Safely access nested properties
const data = { user: { profile: { email: 'test@example.com' } } };
const email = get(data, 'user.profile.email'); // 'test@example.com'
