itsa-utils is a collection of basic utility functions designed for JavaScript environments, supporting both server-side (Node.js) and client-side (browser) usage, making it an isomorphic module. It is part of a broader 'itsa' community project aimed at developing highly tested, well-documented, and performant CommonJS modules. The package is currently at version 1.4.3 and was last published over 8 years ago, indicating it is no longer actively maintained. While originally intended to provide a robust set of common helpers, its key differentiator at the time was its isomorphic design within the 'itsa' ecosystem, emphasizing reusability across different JavaScript environments. Given its age, it relies on CommonJS module patterns and does not natively support modern ESM syntax or TypeScript.

itsa-utils
const utils = require('itsa-utils');
import * as utils from 'itsa-utils'; import { isString } from 'itsa-utils';
This package is CommonJS-only. Individual utility functions are typically accessed as properties of the main exported object, e.g., `utils.isString()`.

Demonstrates how to import itsa-utils using CommonJS and provides illustrative examples of common utility function usage like type checking, object cloning, and array conversion.

const itsaUtils = require('itsa-utils'); // Illustrative usage of some common utility patterns. // (Specific function names are illustrative as API details are not readily available) const myString = 'hello world'; const myNumber = 123; const myObject = { a: 1, b: { c: 2 } }; // Example 1: Type checking (illustrative function) if (itsaUtils.isString && itsaUtils.isString(myString)) { console.log(`'${myString}' is a string.`); } // Example 2: Object manipulation (illustrative function) const clonedObject = itsaUtils.deepClone ? itsaUtils.deepClone(myObject) : { ...myObject }; console.log('Cloned object:', clonedObject); // Example 3: Array utility (illustrative function) const ensureArray = itsaUtils.toArray || ((val) => Array.isArray(val) ? val : [val]); const arr1 = ensureArray(myNumber); const arr2 = ensureArray([1, 2, 3]); console.log('Ensured array 1:', arr1); console.log('Ensured array 2:', arr2); console.log('ITSA Utilities loaded successfully.');
Debug
Known issues
breakingThe itsa-utils package appears to be abandoned. Its last publication was over 8 years ago (as of 2026), meaning it receives no new features, bug fixes, or security updates. This poses significant risks for new projects or ongoing maintenance.
fix
Strongly consider migrating to an actively maintained and modern utility library (e.g., Lodash, Ramda, or native browser/Node.js APIs) to ensure security, performance, and compatibility with current JavaScript standards.
affects: >=1.0.0
gotchaThis package is CommonJS-only. Attempting to use ES module `import` syntax will result in errors in most modern Node.js environments without specific configuration, and it is not designed for direct browser ES module usage.
fix
Always use `require()` for importing this package in Node.js. For browser usage, ensure it's bundled correctly for CommonJS compatibility or included via a script tag if part of the larger `itsa` build.
affects: >=1.0.0
Errors
Common errors & fixes
TypeError: itsaUtils.someFunction is not a function
The specific utility function you are trying to call may not exist, or the package might structure its exports differently than expected (e.g., requiring a sub-module instead of accessing a property on the main export).
fix
Consult any available documentation for the exact API of `itsa-utils` functions. If documentation is unavailable, inspect the `itsaUtils` object after requiring it (e.g., `console.log(Object.keys(itsaUtils));`) to discover available methods.
Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module ... not supported. Instead change the require of ... to a dynamic import()
This error indicates that you are attempting to `require()` an ES Module in a context where it's not supported, or more likely, you are trying to use `itsa-utils` (a CJS module) in a modern ESM-only context.
fix
Ensure your project is configured for CommonJS compatibility if you intend to use this package. For new projects, it's recommended to choose a modern, actively maintained utility library that supports ESM.
