JavaScript
i18n Minimal Translator
A tiny internationalisation helper that loads a locale dictionary and resolves translation strings by dot-notation key. Supports variable interpolation via {{placeholder}} syntax. Falls back to the key itself when a translation is missing, keeping the UI readable during development. Swap the locale at runtime without a page reload.

JavaScript
Flatten Object (Dot Notation)
Flattens a deeply nested object into a single-level object with dot-notation keys. Useful for comparing configs, building form field names from nested data, logging structured objects to analytics, or preparing data for flat key-value stores like Redis or environment variables.
JavaScript
Cookie Helpers (Get / Set / Delete)
Minimal cookie utilities: getCookie retrieves a value by name, setCookie writes a cookie with optional expiry days and path, deleteCookie removes it by setting an expired date. No library needed for simple first-party cookie management. For complex scenarios (SameSite, Secure, partitioned) extend the options object.
JavaScript
Serialize Form to Object
Converts all named form fields into a plain JavaScript object using the FormData API. Handles text inputs, selects, textareas, and checkboxes. Multiple values for the same name (e.g. multi-select, checkboxes) are collected into an array. Ready to JSON.stringify and POST to an API.
JavaScript
Simple State Machine
A lightweight finite state machine that defines valid states and allowed transitions between them. Attempting an invalid transition throws an error. Supports entry/exit hooks per state for side effects. Useful for modelling UI flows (idle → loading → success/error), auth states, and multi-step forms.
JavaScript
Unique Array Values
Returns a new array with duplicate values removed. The fast version uses a Set for primitives. The deep version supports deduplicating objects by a specific key, making it suitable for deduplicating API results or merged data sets.
JavaScript
Flatten Nested Array
Recursively flattens an array of arbitrary nesting depth into a single flat array. Accepts an optional depth limit — pass Infinity to flatten completely. Uses the native Array.flat when the browser supports it, otherwise falls back to a recursive reduce.
JavaScript
Delegate Event Listener
Attaches a single event listener to a parent element and handles events from matching descendant elements via event delegation. More efficient than attaching listeners to many individual elements, and works for elements added dynamically to the DOM after the listener is registered.
JavaScript
Validate URL
Validates whether a string is a well-formed URL using the native URL constructor, which matches browser parsing behaviour exactly. Optionally restricts to specific protocols (defaults to http and https). No regex maintenance required — if the browser can parse it as a URL, this returns true.
JavaScript
Pick & Omit Object Keys
pick returns a new object containing only the specified keys. omit returns a new object with the specified keys removed. Both are pure (non-mutating) and handle missing keys gracefully. Essential for cleaning API payloads, projecting data shapes, and avoiding over-sending sensitive fields.
JavaScript
Queue (Async Task Queue)
A serialised async task queue that executes queued async functions one at a time, in order. Useful for sequencing operations that must not run concurrently (file writes, ordered API mutations, step-by-step wizards). add() returns a Promise that resolves/rejects when that specific task completes.
JavaScript
Format Relative Time
Returns a human-readable relative time string ("3 days ago", "in 2 hours") using the Intl.RelativeTimeFormat API. Automatically selects the most appropriate unit (seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years) based on the elapsed time. Fully localised — pass any BCP 47 locale.
JavaScript
Rate Limiter (Token Bucket)
Implements a token-bucket rate limiter that allows a burst of calls up to a maximum capacity, then replenishes tokens at a steady rate. Useful for throttling outbound API requests, user-facing actions, or any operation where you need to allow occasional bursts without exceeding a sustained rate.
JavaScript
Async Sleep / Delay
Returns a Promise that resolves after a given number of milliseconds. Use with await to pause async functions without blocking the main thread. More readable than nested setTimeout callbacks and composable with other async utilities.
JavaScript
Deep Merge Objects
Recursively merges two or more objects, combining nested properties rather than overwriting them. Unlike Object.assign or spread, this preserves deep keys from all sources. Useful for merging configuration objects, default settings with user overrides, and API response patching.
JavaScript
Slugify String
Converts any string into a URL-safe slug: lowercases it, replaces accented characters with ASCII equivalents, strips all non-alphanumeric characters (except hyphens), and collapses multiple hyphens into one. Ideal for generating URL slugs from blog titles, product names, or user input.
JavaScript
Shuffle Array (Fisher-Yates)
Randomly shuffles an array in-place using the Fisher-Yates algorithm, which produces a uniformly random permutation. Widely considered the correct way to shuffle — avoids the bias inherent in sort(() => Math.random() - 0.5). Returns the same array reference after shuffling.
JavaScript
Format File Size
Converts a raw byte count into a human-readable string with the appropriate unit (B, KB, MB, GB, TB). Uses 1024-based (binary) units by default or optionally 1000-based (SI) units. Useful for upload progress indicators, file browsers, and storage dashboards.
