The `utils-flatten` package provides a single, straightforward utility function for recursively flattening arrays in JavaScript. It is a minimal, focused library for transforming deeply nested arrays into a single-level array. The package is currently at version 1.0.0 and appears to be an unmaintained or abandoned project, with its last known activity dating back to around 2013, as indicated by the copyright and build status badge. Its primary differentiation, if any, lies in its extreme simplicity and small footprint, predating the widespread adoption of native `Array.prototype.flat()` in modern JavaScript environments (ES2019+). Developers should be aware that contemporary JavaScript offers built-in alternatives, making this package largely redundant for new projects.
npm install utils-flattenVerified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.
Demonstrates how to import the `flatten` function using CommonJS and use it to flatten a deeply nested array.
Migrate to `Array.prototype.flat()` for native array flattening. For example, `arr.flat(Infinity)` can fully flatten an array.
For ESM projects, consider using native `Array.prototype.flat()` or a modern utility library with ESM support. If you must use this package in ESM, a bundler like Webpack or Rollup can typically handle the `require` call.
It is strongly recommended to replace `utils-flatten` with `Array.prototype.flat()` or a actively maintained modern utility library (e.g., Lodash, Ramda) that offers similar functionality and ongoing support.
Ensure you are using CommonJS `const flatten = require('utils-flatten');` in a CJS environment. For ESM, use `Array.prototype.flat()` instead.Revert to CommonJS `const flatten = require('utils-flatten');` or, preferably, migrate to `Array.prototype.flat()`.No dependency data recorded yet.
