OptiKit
The Zero-Dependency, Ultra-Lightweight Utility Engine for Modern JavaScript & TypeScript.

OptiKit is a modern, zero-dependency utility engine designed as a drop-in replacement for legacy, monolithic libraries like Lodash, Rambda, and Moment. Natively built in TypeScript, it packages 67 hand-optimized modules containing 680+ utility functions.
Every export is designed with standard ESM + CJS compatibility, full TypeScript declarations, side-effects-free tree-shaking, and 100% passing test coverage.
⚡ Key Highlights
- 🌳 100% Tree-Shakeable: Structured with
"sideEffects": false so your bundle only includes the functions you actually import.
- 🛡️ Supply-Chain Immune: 0 external dependencies, 0 network access, and 0 environment variable access. Safe for security-critical applications.
- 🌐 Isomorphic & Universal: Fully compatible with Node.js (>=18), modern browsers, Cloudflare Workers, Vercel Serverless, Bun, and Deno.
- ⚡ Ultra-Lightweight: The entire engine of 67 modules and 680+ utilities takes only ~20 KB minified + gzipped.
- 🧪 Production-Grade Reliability: Covered by 470+ unit tests with 100% test coverage.

🚀 Code Examples
1. Reactive Store (store)
Create ultra-lightweight reactive states in just 4 lines of code:
import { signal, computed, effect } from '@dev_x_mohit/opti-kit';
const count = signal(0);
const doubleCount = computed(() => count.value * 2);
effect(() => console.log(`Count is: ${count.value}, Double is: ${doubleCount.value}`));
count.value = 5;
2. Zero-Throw Storage (storage)
Work with storage in Next.js / SSR environments without window checks or throwing errors:
import { safeStorage } from '@dev_x_mohit/opti-kit';
safeStorage.setItem('session', { userId: 'usr_88', role: 'editor' }, 60000);
const session = safeStorage.getItem('session');
3. Concurrency Pool (async)
Limit concurrency when executing large batches of async tasks:
import { asyncPool } from '@dev_x_mohit/opti-kit';
const urls = ['/api/1', '/api/2', '/api/3', '/api/4'];
const fetchTask = async (url: string) => fetch(url).then(r => r.json());
const results = await asyncPool(2, urls, fetchTask);
4. Deep Merge & Object Flattening (object)
import { deepMerge, flattenObject } from '@dev_x_mohit/opti-kit';
const merged = deepMerge({ a: { b: 1 } }, { a: { c: 2 } });
const flat = flattenObject({ user: { address: { city: 'NYC' } } });
