The ultimate date/time manipulation class with 100+ methods for parsing, formatting, calculating, and comparing dates. Handles all edge cases and timezones safely.
🧩 Note: Some methods in
Chronosare available only through the plugin system. This modular design ensures the core bundle stays lightweight — plugins are loaded only when needed, reducing unnecessary code in your final build.
new Chronos('2025-01-01').addDays(3).format('YYYY-MM-DD'); // "2025-01-04"
// or with `Chronos` wrapper
chronos('2025-01-01').addDays(3).format('YYYY-MM-DD'); // "2025-01-04"Convert between color formats, generate palettes, check accessibility contrast, and perform advanced color math with perfect type safety.
const blue = new Color('#0000ff');
const darkerBlue = blue.applyDarkness(20); // 20% darker
console.log(darkerBlue.hsl); // "hsl(240, 100%, 40%)" (was 50%)Blazing-fast array searching with binary search, fuzzy matching, and smart caching. Perfect for large datasets.
const productFinder = new Finder(products);
const laptop = productFinder.findOne('laptop', 'category', {
fuzzy: true,
caseInsensitive: false,
});generateRandomID - Enterprise-grade unique ID generation with prefixes, timestamps, and formatting.
generateRandomID({
prefix: 'user',
timeStamp: true,
length: 12,
caseOption: 'upper',
}); // "USER-171234567890-AB3C4D5E6F7G"pluralizer - Handles English word pluralization and singularization with support for irregular forms and uncountable nouns.
import { pluralizer } from 'nhb-toolbox';
pluralizer.pluralize('child'); // "children"
pluralizer.pluralize('category', { count: 3 }); // "categories"
pluralizer.pluralize('child', { count: 1, inclusive: true }); // "1 child"
pluralizer.toSingular('geese'); // "goose"
pluralizer.toSingular('children'); // "child"
pluralizer.isPlural('children'); // true
pluralizer.isSingular('child'); // true
pluralizer.isPlural('fish'); // true (uncountable)getColorForInitial - Deterministic color mapping system for consistent UI theming
// Get color palette for user avatars
getColorForInitial(['Alice', 'Bob', 'Charlie']);
// ['#00094C', '#00376E', '#005600']
getColorForInitial('Banana', 50); // '#00376E80' (50% opacity)Convert JavaScript objects into FormData with extensive configuration options for handling nested structures, files, and data transformations.
import { createFormData } from 'nhb-toolbox';
const formData = createFormData({
user: {
name: ' John Doe ',
age: 30,
preferences: { theme: 'dark' }
},
files: [file1, file2]
}, {
trimStrings: true,
lowerCaseValues: ['user.name'],
dotNotateNested: ['user.preferences'],
breakArray: ['files']
});
// Resulting FormData:
// user.name=john doe
// user.age=30
// user.preferences.theme=dark
// files[0]=[File1]
// files[1]=[File2]Clean and normalize strings/objects by trimming whitespace, removing empty values, and applying customizable filters.
const user = {
name: ' John Doe ',
age: null,
address: { city: ' NYC ', zip: '' },
tags: [],
};
sanitizeData(user, { ignoreNullish: true, ignoreEmpty: true });
// Returns { name: "John Doe", address: { city: "NYC" } } with exact input type
sanitizeData(user, { ignoreNullish: true }, 'partial');
// Return type: FlattenPartial<typeof user> which is Partial<T>
// Returns { name: "John Doe", address: { city: "NYC" } }
// { name: 'John' }parseJSON - Bulletproof JSON parsing with primitive conversion
parseJSON('{"value":"42"}'); // { value: 42 } (auto-converts numbers)Convert numbers to human-readable words (supports up to 100 quintillion).
numberToWords(125); // "one hundred twenty-five"getNumbersInRange - Generate intelligent number sequences with prime, even/odd, and custom filtering capabilities
// Get primes between 10-30 as formatted string
getNumbersInRange('prime', { min: 10, max: 30, getAsString: true });
// "11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29"calculatePercentage - Swiss Army knife for percentage calculations with 7 specialized modes
// Calculate percentage change
calculatePercentage({
mode: 'get-change-percent',
oldValue: 100,
newValue: 150,
}); // 50 (50% increase)Detect exactly what changed between two objects (including deep nested changes).
const dbRecord = { id: 1, content: 'Hello', meta: { views: 0 } };
const update = { content: 'Hello', meta: { views: 1 } };
extractUpdatedFields(dbRecord, update);
// { meta: { views: 1 } }throttleAction - Precision control for high-frequency events
// Smooth scroll handling
throttleAction(updateScrollPosition, 100);debounceAction - Intelligent delay for expensive operations
// Search-as-you-type
