+
175
+ chunk<T>(array: T[], size: number): T[][]
176
+ ```
177
+
178
+ **Parameters:**
179
+
180
+ - `array: T[]` — The array to chunk
181
+ - `size: number` — The size of each chunk
182
+
183

+
1432
+ ```typescript
1433
+ const id1 = uuid7();
1434
+ // ... later ...

2109
+ ### `combine`
2110
+
2111
+ Combine two observables with a map function and an optional pre-treatment.
2112
+
2113
+ Note: you can use the pre-treatment to add a filter, a distinctUntilChanged,
2114
+ any other operator that can be used in a pipe, or even an `UntilDestroy`
2115
+ operator.
2116
+
2117
+ ```typescript
2118
+ import { combine } from '@helpers4/observable';
2119
+
2120
+ combine<T, U, R>(source1: Observable<T>, source2: Observable<U>, map: function, options?: combineOptions<T, U>): Observable<R>

2123
+ **Parameters:**
2124
+
2125
+ - `source1: Observable<T>` — first source of data
2126
+ - `source2: Observable<U>` — second source of data
2127
+ - `map: function` — way to combine data
2128
+ - `options?: combineOptions<T, U>` — options for the combineLatest operator
2129

2147
+ Combines multiple Observables to create an Observable whose values are
2148
+ calculated from the latest values of each of its input Observables.
2149
+
2150
+ This method relies on combineLatestOperator of rxjs.
2151
+
2152
+ The main difference with combineLatestOperator is in case of empty parameters.
2153
+ If the parameter is empty (empty array or empty object), the result will be
2154
+ also empty.
2155
+
2156
+ ATTENTION: this version doesn't support `scheduler` nor `mapper` as last
2157
+ argument like in combineLatestOperator.
2158
+
2159
+ ```typescript
2160
+ import { combineLatest } from '@helpers4/observable';
2161
+
2162
+ combineLatest<A extends readonly unknown[]>(sources: readonly [ObservableInputTuple<A>]): Observable<A>
2163
+ ```
2164
+
2165
+ **Parameters:**
2166
+
2167
+ - `sources: readonly [ObservableInputTuple<A>]`

2173
+ ```
2174
+
2175
+ **Parameters:**
2176
+
2177
+ - `sourcesObject: T`
2178
+
2179
+ **Examples:**
2180
+
2181
+ *Combine array of observables*
2182
+
2183
+ Combines an array of observables into one that emits arrays of their latest values.
2184
+
2185
+ ```typescript
2186
+ combineLatest([of(1), of(2), of(3)])
2187
+ // emits [1, 2, 3]
2188
+ ```
2189
+
2190
+ *Handle empty array*
2191
+
2192
+ Returns an observable that emits an empty array when given no sources.
2193
+
2194
+ ```typescript
2195
+ combineLatest([])
2196
+ // emits []
2197
+ ```

+ ### `tryit`
2567
+
2568
+ Wraps a function so it never throws. Instead, it returns a `[error, result]` tuple.
2569
+ Useful for avoiding try/catch blocks and handling errors in a functional style.
2570
+
2571
+ ```typescript
2572
+ import { tryit } from '@helpers4/promise';

+
2579
+ - `fn: function` — The function to wrap (sync or async)
2580

2586
+
2587
+ Wraps JSON.parse to return a tuple instead of throwing.
2588
+
2589
+ ```typescript
2590
+ const safeParse = tryit(JSON.parse);
2591
+ const [error, data] = safeParse('{"a":1}');
2592
+ // error === undefined, data === { a: 1 }
2593
+ ```
2594
+
2595
+ *Catching errors without try/catch*
2596
+
2597
+ On error, the first element of the tuple is the Error.
2598
+
2599
+ ```typescript
2600
+ const safeParse = tryit(JSON.parse);
2601
+ const [error, data] = safeParse('invalid');
2602
+ // error instanceof SyntaxError, data === undefined

+ Supports:
3983
+ - JavaScript / Java timestamps (milliseconds since epoch)
3984
+ - Unix timestamps (seconds since epoch)
3985

+
4015
+ ---
4016
+
4017
+ ### `isTruthy`
4018
+
4019
+ Checks if a value is truthy (not `false`, `null`, `undefined`, `0`, `""`, or `NaN`).
4020
+
4021
+ This is the type-safe alternative to `Boolean()` as a filter callback.
4022
+ Unlike `filter(Boolean)`, using `filter(isTruthy)` correctly narrows the
4023
+ resulting array type by excluding falsy values.
4024
+
4025
+ ```typescript
4026
+ import { isTruthy } from '@helpers4/type';
4027
+
4028
+ isTruthy<T>(value: Falsy | T): value

4032
+
4033
+ - `value: Falsy | T` — The value to check
4034
+
4035
+ **Returns:** `value` — True if the value is truthy
4036
+
4037
+ **Examples:**
4038
+
4039
+ *Check truthy values*
4040
+
4041
+ Returns true for all truthy values, false for falsy ones.
4042
+
4043
+ ```typescript
4044
+ isTruthy(1) // => true
4045
+ isTruthy('hello') // => true
4046
+ isTruthy(0) // => false
4047
+ isTruthy(null) // => false
4048
+ ```
4049
+
4050
+ *Type-safe filter alternative to Boolean*
4051
+
4052
+ Use isTruthy with Array.filter to get correct TypeScript narrowing.
4053
+
4054
+ ```typescript
4055
+ const items = ['a', '', null, 'b', undefined];
4056
+ const result = items.filter(isTruthy);
4057
+ // => ['a', 'b'] with type string[]

4068
+
4069
+ isUndefined(value: unknown): value
4070
+ ```
4071
+
4072
+ **Parameters:**
4073
+
4074
+ - `value: unknown` — The value to check
4075
+
4076

4081
+
4082
+ ```typescript
4083
+ ```ts
4084
+ isUndefined(undefined) // => true
4085
+ isUndefined(null) // => false
4086

+ ---
4091
+
4092
+ ### `isValidDate`
4093
+
4094

+
4098
+ ```typescript
4099

+ **Examples:**
4767
+
4768
+ *Parse a semver string*
4769
+
4770
+ Breaks a semantic version string into its components.
4771
+
4772
+ ```typescript
4773
+ parse('1.2.3')
4774
+ // => { major: 1, minor: 2, patch: 3, prerelease: [], build: [] }
4775
+ ```
4776
+
4777
+ *Parse a prerelease version*
4778
+
4779
+ Handles prerelease identifiers and optional v prefix.
4780
+
4781
+ ```typescript
4782
+ parse('v2.0.0-alpha.1')
4783
+ // => { major: 2, minor: 0, patch: 0, prerelease: ['alpha', '1'], build: [] }
4784
+ ```
4785
+

4787
+
4788
+ ### `ParsedVersion`
4789
+
4790
+ Represents a parsed semantic version according to SemVer 2.0.0 specification
4791
+
4792
+ ---
4793
+
4794
+ ### `satisfiesRange`
4795
+
4796
+ Checks if a version satisfies a range (simple implementation)
4797
+
4798
+ ```typescript
4799
+ import { satisfiesRange } from '@helpers4/version';
4800
+
4801
+ satisfiesRange(version: string, range: string): boolean
4802
+ ```
4803
+
4804
+ **Parameters:**
4805
+
4806
+ - `version: string` — Version to check
4807
+ - `range: string` — Range pattern (e.g., ">=1.0.0", "~1.2.0", "^1.0.0")
4808
+
4809
+ **Returns:** `boolean` — True if version satisfies the range
4810
+
4811
+ **Examples:**
4812
+
4813
+ *Check caret range*
4814
+
4815
+ Caret (^) allows patch and minor updates within the same major.
4816
+
4817
+ ```typescript
4818
+ satisfiesRange('1.2.3', '^1.0.0')
4819
+ // => true
4820
+ ```
4821
+
4822
+ *Check greater-than-or-equal range*
4823
+
4824
+ The >= operator checks if the version is at least the specified value.
4825
+
4826
+ ```typescript
4827
+ satisfiesRange('2.0.0', '>=1.5.0')
4828
+ // => true
4829
+ ```
4830
+
4831
+ *Out of range*
4832
+
4833
+ Returns false when the version does not satisfy the range.
4834
+
4835
+ ```typescript
4836
+ satisfiesRange('0.9.0', '>=1.0.0')
4837
+ // => false
4838
+ ```
4839
+
4840
+ ---
4841
+
4842
+ ### `stripV`
4843
+
4844
+ Strip the leading "v" from a version string if it exists.
4845
+
4846
+ ```typescript
4847
+ import { stripV } from '@helpers4/version';
4848
+
4849
+ stripV(version: string): string
4850
+ ```
4851
+
4852
+ **Parameters:**
4853
+
4854
+ - `version: string` — The version string to process
4855
+
4856
+ **Returns:** `string` — The version string without leading "v", or the original value if it's not a string or doesn't start with "v"
4857
+
4858
+ ```typescript
4859
+ import { stripV } from '@helpers4/version';
4860
+
4861
+ stripV(version: null): null
4862
+ ```
4863
+
4864
+ **Parameters:**
4865
+
4866
+ - `version: null` — The version string to process
4867
+
4868
+ **Returns:** `null` — The version string without leading "v", or the original value if it's not a string or doesn't start with "v"
4869
+
4870
+ ```typescript
4871
+ import { stripV } from '@helpers4/version';
4872
+
4873
+ stripV(version: undefined): undefined
4874
+ ```
4875
+
4876
+ **Parameters:**
4877
+
4878
+ - `version: undefined` — The version string to process
4879
+
4880
+ **Returns:** `undefined` — The version string without leading "v", or the original value if it's not a string or doesn't start with "v"
4881
+
4882
+ **Examples:**
4883
+
4884
+ *Remove v prefix from a version string*
4885
+
4886
+ Strips the leading "v" from a git tag-style version string.
4887
+
4888
+ ```typescript
4889
+ stripV('v1.2.3')
4890
+ // => '1.2.3'
4891
+ ```
4892
+
4893
+ *No-op when there is no v prefix*
4894
+
4895
+ Returns the string unchanged when it does not start with "v".
4896
+
4897
+ ```typescript
4898
+ stripV('1.2.3')
