• Full TypeScript support with proper type definitions
• Zero dependencies
• CommonJS and ES Module support
• Comprehensive constant coverage:
  • HTTP status codes with messages
  • HTTP methods (including WebDAV)
  • HTTP headers (standard, CORS, security, rate limiting)
  • Content types (MIME types)
  • URL schemes
  • Cache control directives
• Utility functions for common HTTP operations

Installation

npm install http-utils-kit
# or
yarn add http-utils-kit
# or
pnpm add http-utils-kit

Usage

TypeScript / ES Modules

import { 
  HTTP_STATUS,
  HTTP_STATUS_MESSAGE,
  HTTP_METHODS,
  HTTP_HEADERS,
  CONTENT_TYPES,
  CookieUtils,
  AuthUtils 
} from 'http-utils-kit';

// Status codes
console.log(HTTP_STATUS.OK);                    // 200
console.log(HTTP_STATUS_MESSAGE.OK);            // 'OK'

// HTTP Methods
console.log(HTTP_METHODS.GET);                  // 'GET'
console.log(HTTP_METHODS.POST);                 // 'POST'

// Auth
const token = AuthUtils.extractBearerToken('Bearer abc123');
console.log(token);                            // 'abc123'

JavaScript (CommonJS)

const { 
  HTTP_STATUS,
  HTTP_METHODS
} = require('http-utils-kit');

HTTP methods including WebDAV

HTTP_METHODS.GET              // 'GET'
HTTP_METHODS.POST             // 'POST'
HTTP_METHODS.PATCH            // 'PATCH'

TypeScript Support

The library includes comprehensive TypeScript definitions and provides type safety for all constants and utilities.
