What is @devexpress/utils?

@devexpress/utils is a utility library that provides a variety of helper functions and classes to simplify common programming tasks. It includes utilities for data manipulation, type checking, and other common operations.

What are @devexpress/utils's main functionalities?

Data Manipulation

The `clone` function creates a deep copy of an object, ensuring that changes to the copy do not affect the original object.

const { clone } = require('@devexpress/utils/lib/object');
const original = { a: 1, b: 2 };
const copy = clone(original);
console.log(copy); // { a: 1, b: 2 }

Type Checking

The `isString` function checks if a given value is a string, which is useful for validating input types.

const { isString } = require('@devexpress/utils/lib/type');
console.log(isString('Hello')); // true
console.log(isString(123)); // false

Array Utilities

The `merge` function combines two arrays into one, which is useful for concatenating lists of items.

const { merge } = require('@devexpress/utils/lib/array');
const array1 = [1, 2];
const array2 = [3, 4];
const mergedArray = merge(array1, array2);
console.log(mergedArray); // [1, 2, 3, 4]
