A collection of essential TypeScript utility types for writing type-safe code, installable via npm. It provides stricter versions of built-in utility types plus helpers for JSON values, primitives, and type readability.

Use cases

• get stricter versions of TypeScript utility types like Exclude and Extract
• type JSON values, objects, and arrays in TypeScript
• make complex TypeScript types readable in IDE hover
• add a toolbox of common TypeScript types to a project
• write more type-safe TypeScript code

When to choose

• you use TypeScript >= 4.5 with strictNullChecks enabled and want a curated set of utility types
• you need stricter type utilities than the built-in ones
• you want a lightweight, MIT-licensed type-only dependency

When to avoid

• your project uses TypeScript older than 4.5
• you cannot enable strictNullChecks in your tsconfig
• you need runtime utilities rather than compile-time types
