Ten small TypeScript packages for the unglamorous middle of Node.js work

None of it is the interesting part of your program. All of it is the part you end up writing again on every project.

  1. 01

    Type guards and argument validation

    Narrow unknown input, and reject what does not belong.

  2. 02

    Structured errors

    Errors with structure behind them, not just a message.

  3. 03

    Object and array helpers

    The small operations you keep rewriting.

  4. 04

    Terminal-friendly text

    Text that behaves itself in a terminal.

Plus a couple of things that fit nowhere else.

Install Not yet published 
$ npm install @openinf/…

The ten ship together in Q4 2026, and package names are announced at release. Six already live on npm under the @openinf scope, in TypeScript with type declarations from the start.
