The Journalism Library (extras)

Useful TypeScript functions for journalism projects. This library holds any functions and classes that do not fit in the other journalism modules. It's part of the journalism library.

The library is available on JSR with its documentation and on NPM.

The documentation is also available as the markdown file llm.md, which can be passed as context to improve the use of the library by AI coding assistants or agents.

The library is maintained by Nael Shiab, computational journalist and senior data producer for CBC News.

[!TIP] To learn how to use this library and more, check out Code Like a Journalist, a free and open-source data analysis and data visualization course in TypeScript. You might also find the simple-data-analysis library interesting.
