{"id":26804,"library":"biz9-utility","title":"BiZ9 Utility","description":"The BiZ9-Utility package is part of the BiZ9 Framework ecosystem, providing core utility functions for building scalable business applications. Version 4.7.61 is the current stable release, with active development and frequent updates. It is designed for strict JavaScript environments without module support, focusing on simplicity and compatibility. Key differentiators include tight integration with BiZ9 Framework's toolchain (React, React Native, Node.js, MongoDB, etc.) and a focus on rapid application development. The package is primarily used for common utility tasks within BiZ9 projects, but lacks broad community adoption or documented API.","status":"active","version":"4.7.61","language":"javascript","source_language":"en","source_url":"https://github.com/biz9framework/biz9-utility","tags":["javascript"],"install":[{"cmd":"npm install biz9-utility","lang":"bash","label":"npm"},{"cmd":"yarn add biz9-utility","lang":"bash","label":"yarn"},{"cmd":"pnpm add biz9-utility","lang":"bash","label":"pnpm"}],"dependencies":[],"imports":[{"note":"Package uses CommonJS; ESM import may fail in some setups.","wrong":"import BiZ9Utility from 'biz9-utility'","symbol":"BiZ9Utility","correct":"const BiZ9Utility = require('biz9-utility')"},{"note":"Default export is a single function or object; destructuring may be incorrect.","wrong":"const { biz9Utility } = require('biz9-utility')","symbol":"biz9Utility","correct":"const biz9Utility = require('biz9-utility')"},{"note":"Named exports not documented; access via default require.","wrong":"import { Biz9Utils } from 'biz9-utility'","symbol":"Biz9Utils","correct":"const Biz9Utils = require('biz9-utility').Biz9Utils || {}"}],"quickstart":{"code":"const biz9Util = require('biz9-utility');\n\n// Example usage (hypothetical, based on typical utility)\nconst result = biz9Util.someMethod({ key: 'value' });\nconsole.log(result);","lang":"javascript","description":"Shows basic import and usage of a utility method from the biz9-utility package."},"warnings":[{"fix":"Use require() and ensure bundler is configured for CommonJS or use dynamic import if supported.","message":"Package uses strict JavaScript without modules; may not work with ES module systems like bundlers (Webpack, Rollup) without proper configuration.","severity":"gotcha","affected_versions":">=4.0.0"},{"fix":"Install biz9-utility-js instead of biz9-utility for future compatibility.","message":"The package name 'biz9-utility' may be deprecated in favor of 'biz9-utility-js' as per README installation instructions.","severity":"deprecated","affected_versions":">=4.0.0"},{"fix":"Add a declaration file: declare module 'biz9-utility';","message":"No TypeScript type definitions shipped; TypeScript users must declare module manually.","severity":"gotcha","affected_versions":">=4.0.0"},{"fix":"Check source code on GitHub for actual exports.","message":"Package lacks comprehensive documentation; API surface unclear.
