strkit

A small, zero-dependency TypeScript string utilities library. strkit provides common string transformations and helpers (camelCase, snake_case, kebab-case, deburring, escaping, padding, etc.) with full TypeScript types and declarations.

Features

• Well-typed TypeScript API with declaration files
• Common string case converters: camelCase, pascalCase, snakeCase, kebabCase, constantCase
• Utility helpers: deburr, escape, pad, trim, upperCase, lowerCase, reverseString, and more
• Unicode-aware splitting and handling (emoji and extended scripts supported)

Install

From npm (recommended):

npm install strkit

When working from this repository (development):

# install dependencies
npm install

# build
npm run build

# run the package (after build)
npm start

# run directly in TS for development
npm run dev

Note: this project compiles TypeScript to dist/ and emits declaration files (dist/index.d.ts).

Quick usage

Importing in TypeScript / ESM:

import { camelCase, snakeCase, deburr } from "strkit";

console.log(camelCase("Hello WORLD")); // "helloWorld"
console.log(snakeCase("Hello World")); // "hello_world"
console.log(deburr("déjà vu")); // "deja vu"

Using CommonJS (Node):

const { kebabCase, escape } = require("strkit");

console.log(kebabCase("Hello World")); // "hello-world"
console.log(escape("<div>&</div>")); // "&lt;div&gt;&amp;&lt;/div&gt;"

API (high level)

Main exports live in src/index.ts and include (but are not limited to):

• camelCase(str: string): string
• pascalCase(str: string): string
• snakeCase(str: string): string
• kebabCase(str: string): string
• constantCase(str: string): string
• deburr(str: string): string
• escape(str: string): string
• pad(str: string, length: number, chars?: string): string

See the source for full JSDoc and examples: src/index.ts.

Development

• Build: npm run build (runs tsc and emits dist/)
• Clean: npm run clean (removes dist/)
• Dev (fast-run): npm run dev (runs ts-node --transpile-only src/index.ts)

If you don't have ts-node or other dev tools installed globally, npm install will add them as devDependencies.

Testing

There are no tests yet. A recommended minimal next step is to add a test runner (Jest / Vitest) and include a couple of unit tests for core functions like camelCase and deburr.
