HTTP Convenience Pack (npm package)

 |  Deliverables

The small TypeScript HTTP convenience library; methods, statuses, MIME types, headers enums, types, validators, normalizers, in group, of group, make, extract etc.

Motivation

Modern applications juggle HTTP methods, status codes, headers, and MIME types—often inconsistently. This package solves:

  • Ambiguity: Replace error-prone string literals ("GET", "application/json") with type-safe constants.
  • Team Alignment: Enforce RFC compliance across frontend, backend, and microservices.
  • Developer Comfort: IDE autocomplete, hover documentation, and modular APIs.

Key Features

  • Zero dependencies: Lightweight and embeddable.
  • TypeScript-first: Full inference and generics support.
  • RFC-compliant: Methods, statuses, MIME types, headers.
  • Convenience utilities: Validation, normalization, and transformations.
  • IDE optimized: VS Code autocomplete, doc blocks, and aliasing support.

Technology

  • TypeScript (5.7+)
  • ESM module format: Modern export strategy with exports field
  • Vitest: Unit testing
  • ESLint + markdown-link-check: Code and doc linting
  • Husky + Commitlint: Conventional commits with Git hook enforcement
  • Custom build pipeline: Uses tsc, tsc-alias, and cpy for clean dist builds under .delivery/
  • Zero runtime dependencies
  • Production-ready with semantic versioning, CI hooks, and changelog automation
  • Auto-completable constants with named namespaces (e.g., HTTPMethods, HTTPStatuses)
