Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

@berkayyalcin/utilkit

v0.1.0

Published

Zero-dependency devkit for everyday JavaScript/TypeScript utilities: Unicode-safe Base64, correct string length, and safe JSON parsing.

Readme

utilkit

Zero-dependency devkit for everyday JavaScript/TypeScript utilities. Pure functions — works in React, Vue, Angular, Node, or plain browser scripts.

Install

npm install @berkayyalcin/utilkit

Quick Start

import { base64Encode, base64Decode, stringLength, byteLength, safeJsonParse } from "@berkayyalcin/utilkit";

base64Encode("Türkçe metin 🎉");        // Unicode-safe, unlike native btoa
base64Decode("not-valid-base64");        // null, never throws

stringLength("😀");                       // 1 (visual character)
"😀".length;                              // 2 (native — counts UTF-16 units, not visual chars)
byteLength("😀");                         // 4 (UTF-8 byte size)

safeJsonParse("not json");                // null, never throws
safeJsonParse("not json", { empty: true }); // { empty: true } — fallback value

You can also import from a specific category for smaller bundles:

import { base64Encode } from "@berkayyalcin/utilkit/encoding";
import { stringLength } from "@berkayyalcin/utilkit/text";
import { safeJsonParse } from "@berkayyalcin/utilkit/data";

API

| Function | Signature | Description | |---|---|---| | base64Encode | (input: string) => string | UTF-8-safe Base64 encode. | | base64Decode | (input: string) => string \| null | Base64 decode; null on invalid input. | | stringLength | (input: string) => number | Visual character (grapheme) count. | | byteLength | (input: string) => number | UTF-8 byte length. | | safeJsonParse | <T>(input: string, fallback?: T) => T \| null | JSON.parse that never throws. |

Design Principles

  • Zero dependencies.
  • 100% test coverage.
  • Tree-shakeable"sideEffects": false, ESM + CJS builds.
  • TypeScript-first.
  • Null-safe on invalid input — functions that can fail return null (or a caller-supplied fallback) instead of throwing.
  • MIT licensed.

Türkçe

utilkit, günlük JavaScript/TypeScript ihtiyaçları için sıfır bağımlılıklı bir devkit'tir: Unicode-güvenli Base64 kodlama, doğru string uzunluğu (karakter + byte) ve güvenli JSON ayrıştırma. Saf fonksiyonlardan oluşur — React, Vue, Angular veya Node fark etmeksizin her yerde çalışır. Kurulum ve API referansı için yukarıdaki İngilizce bölüme bakınız (fonksiyon imzaları evrenseldir).
