A few useful frontend utilities or futil, for short 🙃
⚠️ WARNING: This library is a work in progress. Every release is at risk of having breaking changes, until its first major release.
This library was inspired by frontend engineers, trying to help other frontend engineers. This library is mean to provide:
- any frontend engineer with utilities ranging from basic to advanced, as needed
- the ability to use just 1 (or many) without incurring library bloat
Some may bawk... why not just use something like lodash?
While lodash is an amazing library, it provides different helpers; lodash
simply serves a different purpose. futil doesn't offer common javascript
utilities that help to shorten and optimize code. futil provides
frontend utilities that don't really exist in a popular library.
We are a small group of frontend engineers that have worked on large-scale projects at startups and in enterprise orgs... and have just repeatedly created the same utilities for each team. And we just got tired of doing it over and over.
The utilities you can find here are grouped by frontend domain. Here's a list:
- browser (e.g. DOM, navigational, URL helpers)
- react
- client
- server
- nextjs
These are all in design and will be undergoing development soon.
