📦 Installation

# npm
npm install nest-shared

# yarn  
yarn add nest-shared

# pnpm
pnpm add nest-shared

📋 Requirements

• Node.js: >= 20.18.1
• TypeScript: >= 5.9
• npm: >= 10.8.2

🚀 Quick Start

ES Modules (Recommended)

import { configService, generateAPIKey, encode } from 'nest-shared';

// Configuration
const port = configService.getPort();

// Cryptography
const apiKey = generateAPIKey({ str: 'my-app', prefix: 'app', size: 32 });
const encoded = encode({ text: 'hello world' });

CommonJS

const { configService, generateAPIKey, encode } = require('nest-shared');

const port = configService.getPort();
const apiKey = generateAPIKey({ str: 'my-app', prefix: 'app', size: 32 });
const encoded = encode({ text: 'hello world' });

📖 Usage Examples

Configuration Management

import { configService } from 'nest-shared';

const port = configService.getPort(); // Default: 4000
const nodeEnv = configService.getNodeEnv(); // 'development' | 'production' | 'test'
const customValue = configService.get('CUSTOM_KEY', 'default-value');

Framework Integration

// Express.js
import express from 'express';
import { configService } from 'nest-shared';

const app = express();
const port = configService.getPort();

app.listen(port, () => console.log(`🚀 Server running on port ${port}`));

// Fastify
import Fastify from 'fastify';
const fastify = Fastify({ logger: true });
await fastify.listen({ port: configService.getPort() });

Constants

import { NODE_PORT, CACHE_TTL, VALID_UUID_REGEX } from 'nest-shared';

console.log('Port:', NODE_PORT); // 4000
console.log('Cache TTL:', CACHE_TTL); // 3600
console.log('UUID Valid:', VALID_UUID_REGEX.test('28aebbd6-173b-4375-99eb-56dc04ec2bcb'));

Cryptographic Utilities

import { generateAPIKey, encode, decode, randomUUID, validateUUID } from 'nest-shared';

// API Key Generation
const apiKey = generateAPIKey({ str: 'my-app', prefix: 'app', size: 32 });
// app_3f4a9b2c1d5e6f7g8h9i0j1k2l3m4n5o

// Base64 Encoding
const encoded = encode({ text: 'Hello World!' }); // SGVsbG8gV29ybGQh
const decoded = decode({ text: encoded }); // Hello World!

// UUID Utilities
const uuid = randomUUID(); // f47ac10b-58cc-4372-a567-0e02b2c3d479
const isValid = validateUUID(uuid); // true

Helper Functions

import { RandomNumber, sum, formatDate, addDays, axiosErrorHandler } from 'nest-shared';

// Math
const random = RandomNumber(1, 100);
const total = sum([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]); // 15

// Time
const today = new Date();
const formatted = formatDate(today, 'YYYY-MM-DD');
const futureDate = addDays(today, 7);

// HTTP
const response = await axios.get('/api/data').catch(axiosErrorHandler);

Buffer Base Implementation

import { BufferBase } from 'nest-shared';
import { Buffer } from 'buffer';

class CustomBuffer implements BufferBase {
  encode(data: string | Buffer): string {
    return Buffer.from(data).toString('base64');
  }
  
  decode(str: string): string {
    return Buffer.from(str, 'base64').toString('utf-8');
  }
}
