DegreeSign Utils SDK

A zero-dependency TypeScript utility toolkit for numbers, arrays, statistics, forecasting, dates, objects, IDs and cryptography — one import for browser and Node.js.

DegreeSign Utils SDK (@degreesign/utils) is the developers' dream utils library: a single, tree-shakeable package that replaces scattered one-off helpers with tested, defensive utilities for everyday TypeScript and JavaScript work. It is written in TypeScript, ships its own type definitions, has no runtime dependencies and runs anywhere JavaScript does — browsers, Node.js, React, Vue, Svelte and vanilla projects.

Why DegreeSign Utils SDK?

• Zero dependencies — nothing extra in your bundle or node_modules.
• TypeScript-first — full type definitions for editors and autocomplete.
• Universal — the same API in the browser (dsUtils global, UMD) and Node.js (CommonJS).
• Tree-shakeable — import only what you use.
• Defensive by design — invalid input returns a safe fallback instead of throwing.
• Broad coverage — math, statistics, forecasting, dates, numbers, objects, secure IDs and async helpers in one place.

Installation

Install with your package manager of choice:

# npm
npm install @degreesign/utils

# yarn
yarn add @degreesign/utils

# pnpm
pnpm add @degreesign/utils

Or load it in the browser straight from a CDN:

<script 
  src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@degreesign/utils@1.0.3/dist/browser/degreesign.min.js"
></script>

In the browser the library is exposed as the global object dsUtils.

Quick Start

import { sumArr, getMean, rNum, addCom, forecastNext, dateStandard, idRandLong } from "@degreesign/utils";

sumArr([1, 2, 3]);                          // 6
getMean([1, 2, 3, 4]);                      // 2.5
rNum(1234.56789);                           // 1234.57
addCom(1234567);                            // "1,234,567"
forecastNext({ currentPeriod: [10, 12, 15], steps: 2 }); // next 2 projected values
dateStandard(Date.now());                   // "2026-09-22"
idRandLong(12);                             // random 12-character ID

In the browser via the CDN build:

const total = dsUtils.sumArr([1, 2, 3]); // 6

Array & Statistics

Aggregate, summarise and transform numeric arrays.

Function	Description
sumArr(arr)	Sum an array of numbers (returns 0 for empty or invalid input).
getSum(numbers)	Safe sum of a numeric array.
getMean(numbers)	Arithmetic mean of a numeric array.
getMax(numbers)	Largest value in a numeric array.
maxVl(array, item)	Max value of a key across an array of objects.
minVl(array, item)	Min value of a key across an array of objects.
squeezeArray({ arr, targetLength })	Resample an array into targetLength summed segments.
compareArrays({ arrays })	Normalise multiple arrays onto a shared scale.
phaseDifference({ array1, array2 })	Best correlation lag (phase shift) between two signals.

Forecasting

Trend projection built on the robust Theil–Sen estimator, with non-negative values and a cap that prevents runaway forecasts.

Function	Description
forecastNext({ currentPeriod, steps })	Forecast the next steps values from a numeric period.
forecastNextTotal(currentPeriod)	Total of the next period-length forecast.

Objects

Sort, inspect and safely persist nested objects.

Function	Description
objLen(obj)	Number of own keys in an object.
objNestValueCount(obj)	Count nested object values.
objSort(obj, key, direction)	Sort an object of objects by a nested key.
objSortSimple(obj, direction)	Sort a simple key/value object.
storeObj(obj)	Stringify an object for storage (" becomes ').
storeObjStr(str)	Normalise a stored object string.
restoreObj(str)	Parse a stored object back into a value.
restoreObjStr(str)	Restore a stored object string (' becomes ").

Numbers

Round, format and analyse numeric values.

Function	Description
rNum(a, l)	Round a number (default 6 significant digits).
adjNum(inputNum, limitDigits)	Abbreviate with m/b suffixes.
addCom(n, l)	Add thousands separators.
zNum(a)	Trim a large number to a rounded form.
pNum(e)	Precise number to 0.000001.
isEven(num)	Whether a number is even.
nTxtAr	Number words zero through ten.
priceVariations(numbersWeights)	Keep prices within 5% of the weighted median.
sharpeRatio({ assetPrices, minExpectedReturn })	Sharpe ratio from a price series.

Time & Date

Timestamps, duration constants and human-readable date formats (UTC where noted).

Function	Description
oneSec, oneMin, oneHr, oneDay, oneMon	Millisecond duration constants.
tN()	Current timestamp (Date.now()).
addZ(n)	Zero-pad a number to two digits.
dateStandard(d)	ISO date 2022-06-23.
timeStandard(dt)	Time 16:36:14.
seoDt(t)	SEO/ISO datetime 2022-06-23T16:36:14+01:00.
thisYear(e)	Current (or given) UTC year.
invDt(t)	Invoice-style stamp, e.g. 220623....
tmUTC(t) / tmAP(t)	15:44 UTC / 02:15pm times.
fullDt(t) / fullDate(t) / fullLong(t)	28 MAR 2022 / 28 March 2022 / 28th of March 2022.
shortDt(t) / moYrDt(t)	28 MAR / MAR 2022.
monNm / dayRes	Month names / daily chart points (90).

IDs & Crypto

Generate and obfuscate identifiers.

Function	Description
idRandShort(length)	Random short ID (up to 32 characters).
idRandLong(length)	Random alphabetic ID of any length.
idShuffle({ data, password })	Obfuscate text — a 4-character PIN shuffle, otherwise AES-GCM encryption.

API Helpers

Small async and caching utilities.

Function	Description
delayCode(t)	Await a setTimeout delay in milliseconds.
cacheCheck({ analysisCacheLimit, lastUpdated, forceRefresh })	Whether cached data is still fresh.

TypeScript Types

NumberObj, NumberObjObj, StringObj, StringObjObj, BooleanObj, SetupData, DoubleNumbers, ForecastInput, DateString, DateStringAll and DatePeriodString are exported for TypeScript consumers.

FAQ
