+# node-comfort
 
-A **zero-dependency** comfort belt for Node.js • the helpers you rewrite in every
-project, in one small, well-typed package:
-
-- 🎨 **Logger** • colorful console logging with a tiny markup syntax and levels
-- 📁 **FS** • safe filesystem operations, JSON I/O, watching, hashing
-- 🧪 **Checker** • 35 runtime type guards (`isEmail`, `isEmpty`, `isPlainObject`, …)
-- ⏳ **Utils** • `wait`, `when`, `dontCrash`, JSON helpers
-- 🔤 **str** • case conversion, slugs, truncation, templating
-- 🔢 **num** • clamp, round, ranges, byte/duration/number formatting
-- 📚 **arr** • chunk, groupBy, unique, set operations, shuffle
-- 🧩 **obj** • deep clone/merge/equal, dot-path get/set, pick/omit
-- 🛠️ **func** • debounce, throttle, memoize, retry, timeout, pipe/compose
-- 🕒 **time** • durations, relative time, date math • locale & time-zone aware
-- 🆔 **id** • secure UUID / ULID / nanoid / tokens, hashing, constant-time compare
-- 🗄️ **SQLite** • a small model + CRUD wrapper over Node's built-in `node:sqlite`
-
-Everything is plain CommonJS with JSDoc, and the package ships full TypeScript
-type definitions.
+**The standard library Node.js deserves.**
 
----
+Logging, config, validation, HTTP, SQLite, dates, crypto, CLI tools and 500+ helpers.<br>
+One package, zero dependencies, documented right in your editor.

-## Quick start
+Most Node.js projects install the same twenty packages before writing a single line of their own: a logger, dotenv, a validation library, an HTTP client, a retry helper, a date library, uuid, bcrypt, a CLI parser, a spinner. Hundreds of transitive dependencies come with them.
 
-The package exposes a **flat API** for the historical modules (Logger, FS,
-Checker, Utils) and **namespaces** for the newer utility collections.
+Node.js can do most of this on its own now. It ships `fetch`, `Intl`, `node:crypto` and even SQLite. node-comfort is the missing layer on top: one consistent, fully typed API, and nothing else to install.
 
 ```js
 const nc = require("@ix-xs/node-comfort");
 
-// Logger (flat)
-nc.log("<% greenBright Success %>");
-nc.info("server started");
-nc.error(new Error("boom"));
-
-// FS (flat)
-nc.writeJSON("./data/config.json", { ready: true });
-const cfg = nc.readJSON("./data/config.json", {});
-
-// Checker (flat)
-nc.isEmail("john@example.com"); // true
-nc.isEmpty([]);                 // true
-
-// Utils (flat)
-await nc.wait(500);
-
-// Namespaced collections
-nc.str.slugify("Héllo World");        // "hello-world"
-nc.num.formatBytes(1536);             // "1.5 KB"
-nc.arr.chunk([1, 2, 3, 4], 2);        // [[1, 2], [3, 4]]
-nc.obj.get(data, "a.b[0].c", "def");
-nc.func.debounce(fn, 200);
-nc.time.relative(Date.now() - 3600e3); // "1 hour ago"
-nc.id.uuid();
-
-// SQLite (class)
-const db = new nc.SQLite("data/app.sqlite");
-```
-
-> The flat modules are also available as namespaces if you prefer explicit
-> grouping: `nc.logger`, `nc.fs`, `nc.checker`, `nc.utils`.

-## Logger
-
-Colorized console logger with a minimal markup syntax, optional timestamps,
-groups, and level helpers.
-
-Wrap styles in delimiters (default `<%` … `%>`):
-
-- **styles**: `bold`, `italic`, `underline`, `overline`
-- **colors**: `red`, `green`, `yellow`, `blue`, `magenta`, `cyan`, `white`, `gray`, `black`
-- **bright**: `redBright`, `greenBright`, … `whiteBright`
-- **background**: `bgRed`, `bgBlue`, …
-- **RGB**: `rgb(255, 0, 0)`
-
-```js
-nc.log("Plain log");
-nc.log("<% green Success %>");
-nc.log("<% red bold Error:%> something went wrong");
-nc.log("<% bgBlue white INFO %> message");
-nc.log("<% rgb(255,128,0) Orange text %>");
-```
-
-### Level helpers
-
-```js
-nc.info("Loading configuration…");   // ℹ INFO
-nc.success("Database connected");     // ✔ OK
-nc.warn("Cache miss");                // ⚠ WARN
-nc.error(new Error("Boom"));          // ✖ ERROR  (prints the stack)
-nc.debug({ requestId: 42 });          // ● DEBUG  (only when DEBUG/NODE_DEBUG is set)
-```
-
-### Timestamp, delimiters & groups
-
-```js
-nc.setTimestamp(false);
-nc.setDelimiter({ open: "{{", close: "}}" });
-nc.log("{{red Hello}} world");
-
-nc.group("Startup");
-nc.log("Loading config…");
-nc.group("DB");
-nc.log("Connecting…");
-nc.groupEnd(); // end "DB"
-nc.groupEnd(); // end "Startup"
-```
-
----
-
-## FS
-
-File-system helper with safe path resolution, recursive walking, copy/move
-helpers, JSON I/O, hashing and a small watcher. Relative paths (`./`, `../`) are
-resolved from the **caller file**, which is handy inside libraries.
-
-```js
-// Paths
-const p = nc.createPath("./config/app.json"); // absolute, even if missing
-const folder = nc.getFolder("./src");
-const file = nc.getFile("package.json");
-
-// Create
-nc.createFolder("./dist");
-nc.createFile("./dist/info.txt", false, "hello");
-
-// JSON I/O
-nc.writeJSON("./dist/data.json", { ok: true });          // pretty, 2 spaces
-const data = nc.readJSON("./dist/data.json", {});         // fallback on error
-
-// Append / read
-nc.appendFile("./logs/app.log", "started\n");
-const content = nc.readFile("./README.md");
-
-// Inspect
-nc.exists("./dist");                 // true
-nc.fileSize("./dist/data.json");     // bytes
-nc.stat("./dist/data.json");         // fs.Stats
-nc.hashFile("./dist/data.json");     // sha256 hex
-
-// List & delete
-const files = nc.getFilesIn("./src", true);
-nc.deleteFilesIn("./logs", false, (f) => f.endsWith(".log"));
-nc.emptyFolder("./tmp");             // keep the folder, clear its contents
-```
-
-### Copy & move
-
-```js
-nc.copyFolder({ path: "./templates", dest: "./dist/templates", recursive: true, withFiles: true, force: true });
-nc.copyFilesIn({ path: "./src", dest: "./dist", recursive: true, filter: (f) => f.endsWith(".js") });
-nc.copyFile({ path: "./src/index.js", dest: "./dist", force: true });
-
-nc.moveFolder({ path: "./build", dest: "./dist", recursive: true, withFiles: true, force: true });
-nc.moveFile({ path: "./logs/app.log", dest: "./logs/archive/app.log", force: true });
-```
-
-### Watch
+const config = nc.env.validate({
+  PORT: { type: "port", default: 3000 },
+  DATABASE_URL: { type: "url" },
+});
 
-```js
-const watcher = nc.watch({ path: "./src", recursive: true, filter: (event, file) => file.endsWith(".js") });
+const db = new nc.SQLite("./data/app.sqlite");
+const github = nc.http.create({ baseURL: "https://api.github.com/", retry: { attempts: 3 } });
 
-watcher
-  .on("change", (file) => nc.log(`<% cyan changed %> ${file}`))
-  .on("rename", (file) => nc.log(`<% yellow renamed %> ${file}`));
+const { data: repo } = await github.get("repos/nodejs/node");
+nc.info(`Node.js has <% yellow ${nc.num.abbreviate(repo.stargazers_count)} %> stars`);
 
-watcher.pause();
-watcher.resume();
-watcher.stop();
+nc.sys.onShutdown(() => db.close());
 ```
 
----
-
-## Checker
+## Install
 
-35 runtime type guards. Each is a boolean function that accepts any input.
-
-```js
-// Primitives & core
-nc.isArray([1, 2]);          nc.isNumber(42);        nc.isInteger(4);
-nc.isFloat(4.2);             nc.isString("x");       nc.isBoolean(false);
-nc.isBigInt(10n);            nc.isSymbol(Symbol());   nc.isFunction(() => {});
-nc.isAsyncFunction(async () => {});
-
-// Nullish & primitiveness
-nc.isNull(null);   nc.isUndefined(undefined);   nc.isNil(null);   nc.isPrimitive(1);
-
-// Objects & structures
-nc.isObject({});             nc.isPlainObject({});    nc.isPromise(Promise.resolve());
-nc.isRegExp(/a/);            nc.isDate(new Date());   nc.isValidDate(new Date());
-nc.isMap(new Map());        nc.isSet(new Set());     nc.isIterable([1]);
-nc.isBuffer(Buffer.from("")); nc.isTypedArray(new Uint8Array()); nc.isError(new Error());
-
-// Emptiness & formats
-nc.isEmpty("");   nc.isEmpty([]);   nc.isEmpty({});   nc.isEmpty(new Map());
-nc.isEmail("john@example.com");     nc.isURL("https://x.com");
-nc.isUUID("123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000");
-nc.isJSON('{"a":1}');               nc.isNumeric("42");

-## Utils
-
-Async & process helpers.
+Node.js 22.13 or newer. That's the first version where `node:sqlite` works without a flag.
+
+## Why node-comfort
+
+- **Zero dependencies.** Built only on Node's own modules. No install scripts, nothing else to audit or keep up to date.
+- **Your editor already knows it.** Every function, parameter and option is typed and documented, with examples. Type `nc.` and look around. It works in plain JavaScript too.
+- **Fast to load.** Namespaces load the first time you use them. Requiring the package takes about 4 ms, and a script that only logs never loads the database or the HTTP client.
+- **Safe by default.** Prototype-pollution-proof objects, scrypt passwords, AES-256-GCM, constant-time comparisons, parameterized SQL, atomic file writes.
+- **One way of doing things.** Durations are always `"5m"` or milliseconds, options always come last, and every error has a stable `code`.
+- **Tested everywhere.** Linux, macOS and Windows, Node.js 22 and 24, TypeScript 5.9, 6 and 7.

-await nc.wait(500);
-
-// when • poll a predicate and emit events
-nc.when(() => Math.random() > 0.8, { label: "Lucky" }, { interval: 200, max: 3, timeout: 5000 })
-  .on("trigger", (p) => nc.log(`<% green ${p.label} %>`))

 ```
 
----
-
-## str • string utilities
-
-```js
-nc.str.capitalize("hELLO");            // "Hello"
-nc.str.titleCase("the quick fox");     // "The Quick Fox"
-nc.str.camelCase("foo-bar_baz");       // "fooBarBaz"
-nc.str.pascalCase("foo bar");          // "FooBar"
-nc.str.snakeCase("helloWorld");        // "hello_world"
-nc.str.kebabCase("helloWorld");        // "hello-world"
-nc.str.constantCase("helloWorld");     // "HELLO_WORLD"
-
-nc.str.slugify("Héllo, World!");       // "hello-world"
-nc.str.truncate("Hello world", 8);     // "Hello w…"
-nc.str.center("hi", 6, "*");           // "**hi**"
-nc.str.reverse("abc");                 // "cba"  (emoji-safe)

-// "Hi Jo (admin)"
-nc.str.words("helloWorld-foo");        // ["hello", "World", "foo"]
-nc.str.length("😀");                    // 1
-```
+Every namespace has its own entry point (`@ix-xs/node-comfort/http`, `/sqlite`, `/schema`...). In an ES module, importing from these keeps startup lean. See [Performance](https://ix-xs.github.io/node-comfort/start/performance/).

+TypeScript needs no setup: the types ship with the package.

-## arr • array utilities
+## A quick tour
 
-All methods are pure (they never mutate their input). Many accept an
-`iteratee`: a property key (string) or a function.
+**Logs** that look good in a terminal and turn into JSON in production:

-## time • date & time utilities
-
-No heavyweight date library required.
+**HTTP** on top of `fetch`, with the parts you always end up writing:
 
 ```js
-nc.time.parseDuration("1h30m");        // 5400000
-nc.time.parseDuration("2 days");       // 172800000
-nc.time.formatDuration(5_400_000);     // "1h 30m"
-nc.time.formatDuration(90_000, { long: true }); // "1 minute 30 seconds"
-
-nc.time.relative(Date.now() - 3600e3); // "1 hour ago"
-nc.time.relative(Date.now() + 86400e3); // "in 1 day"
-
-nc.time.format(new Date(), "YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss");
-nc.time.add(new Date(), "2h");
-nc.time.subtract(new Date(), 1, "d");
-nc.time.diff("2024-01-03", "2024-01-01", "d"); // 2
-nc.time.startOf(new Date(), "day");
-nc.time.isSameDay(a, b);
-nc.time.unix();                        // seconds since epoch
-
-const sw = nc.time.stopwatch();
-doWork();
-sw.stop();      // 12.34 (ms, sub-ms precise)
-sw.stop(true);  // "12.34ms"
-```
-
-### Language & time zone
-
-`relative`, `formatDuration` and `format` are **locale-aware** and built on the
-platform's native `Intl` (Node ships with full ICU), so **every language works
-out of the box** • no locale files, no dependencies. The default locale is
-`"en"` for deterministic output.
-
-Set a global default (chainable), or override per call:
-
-```js
-// Global defaults
-nc.time.setLocale("fr").setTimezone("Europe/Paris");
-nc.time.getConfig(); // { locale: "fr", timeZone: "Europe/Paris" }
-
-// …or per call via options
-nc.time.relative(Date.now() - 3600e3, undefined, { locale: "fr" });      // "il y a 1 heure"
-nc.time.relative(Date.now() - 86400e3, undefined, { numeric: "auto" });  // "yesterday"
-nc.time.formatDuration(90_000, { long: true, locale: "de" });            // "1 Minute 30 Sekunden"
-
-// Localized date formatting
-nc.time.format(Date.now(), "dddd D MMMM YYYY", { locale: "fr" });        // "lundi 15 janvier 2024"
-nc.time.format(Date.now(), "h:mm A");                                    // "2:30 PM"
+const api = nc.http.create({
+  baseURL: "https://api.example.com/v1/",
+  auth: { bearer: process.env.API_TOKEN },
+  timeout: "10s",
+  retry: { attempts: 3 },
+});
 
-// Time-zone aware (IANA names)
-nc.time.format(utcDate, "YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm", { timeZone: "Asia/Tokyo" });
-nc.time.isSameDay(a, b, { timeZone: "America/New_York" });
+const { data: users } = await api.get("users", { query: { page: 2 } });
+await api.post("users", { name: "Ada" });
 ```
 
-**`format` tokens** • numeric: `YYYY` `YY` `MM` `M` `DD` `D` `HH` `H` (24h)
-`hh` `h` (12h) `mm` `m` `ss` `s` `SSS`; localized: `MMMM` `MMM` (month),
-`dddd` `ddd` (weekday), `A` `a` (AM/PM). Wrap literal text in square brackets:
-`format(d, "[Updated on] dddd")`.

-
-## id • id, token & hashing utilities
-
-Cryptographically secure, built on Node's native `node:crypto`.
+**SQLite** without compiling anything, with objects in and objects out:
 
 ```js
-nc.id.uuid();                          // UUID v4
-nc.id.ulid();                          // sortable, timestamp-prefixed id
-nc.id.nano();                          // URL-safe nanoid (21 chars)
-nc.id.nano(10);                        // custom length
-
-nc.id.token();                         // 32-byte hex token
-nc.id.token(16, "base64url");          // URL-safe base64
-nc.id.token(16, "base58");             // Base58 (Bitcoin alphabet)
-nc.id.code();                          // "K7QF9X"  (unambiguous, human-friendly)
-
-nc.id.hash("hello");                   // sha256 hex
-nc.id.hash("hello", { algorithm: "md5" });
-nc.id.hmac("payload", "secret");       // HMAC-SHA256
-
-nc.id.safeEqual(provided, expected);   // constant-time comparison
-nc.id.seq("user");                     // "user-1", "user-2", …
-```
+const db = new nc.SQLite("./data/app.sqlite");
 
-> **Tip:** ULIDs sort by creation time, making them a great primary-key
-> alternative to UUIDs. Use `nc.id.safeEqual` whenever you compare secrets,
-> tokens or signatures to avoid timing attacks.

----
-
-## SQLite
-
-Thin wrapper over the built-in `node:sqlite` `DatabaseSync`, with a small model
-system and CRUD helpers. Identifiers are validated and values are bound with
-`?` placeholders. WAL mode and foreign keys are enabled automatically.
-
-```js
-const db = new nc.SQLite("data/app.sqlite"); // folder created if needed
-// const db = new nc.SQLite(":memory:");     // transient in-memory DB
-
-await db.createTable({
-  name: "users",
-  columns: {
-    id:        { type: "INTEGER", primaryKey: true, autoincrement: true },
-    name:      { type: "TEXT", notNull: true },
-    role:      { type: "TEXT", values: ["admin", "user"], defaultValue: "user" },
-    createdAt: { type: "INTEGER", notNull: true },
-  },
-  indexes: [{ columns: ["role"] }],
+db.insert("users", { email: "ada@example.com", settings: { theme: "dark" } });
+const admins = db.getAll("users", { role: ["admin", "owner"], age: { gte: 18 } }, { orderBy: "email", limit: 20 });
+db.transaction(() => {
+  db.update("accounts", { balance: 90 }, { id: 1 });
+  db.update("accounts", { balance: 110 }, { id: 2 });
 });
-
-await db.insert("users", { name: "John", role: "admin", createdAt: Date.now() });
-await db.update("users", { role: "user" }, { name: "John" });
-await db.upsert("users", { id: 1, role: "admin" }, ["id"]);
-
-const user  = await db.get("users", { name: "John" });
-const admins = await db.getAll("users", { role: "admin" }, { limit: 100, orderBy: "createdAt", direction: "DESC" });
-
-await db.delete("users", { role: "user" });
-await db.count("users", { role: "admin" });
-await db.clearTable("users");
 ```
 
-### Constraints & indexes
+**Dates** in any language and time zone:
 
 ```js
-await db.createTable({
-  name: "UserAuthMethod",
-  columns: {
-    id:             { type: "INTEGER", primaryKey: true, autoincrement: true },
-    userId:         { type: "INTEGER", notNull: true },
-    provider:       { type: "TEXT", notNull: true },

-  constraints: [
-    { type: "unique", columns: ["provider", "providerUserId"] },
-    { type: "foreignKey", columns: ["userId"], references: { table: "users", columns: ["id"] }, onDelete: "CASCADE" },
-  ],
-});
-
-await db.createIndex("UserAuthMethod", { columns: ["provider", "providerUserId"], unique: true });
+nc.time.setLocale("fr").setTimezone("Europe/Paris");
+nc.time.format(new Date(), "dddd D MMMM YYYY HH:mm"); // "vendredi 11 septembre 2026 14:30"
+nc.time.relative(Date.now() - 3 * 3600e3);            // "il y a 3 heures"
+nc.time.cron("0 9 * * 1-5", sendReport);              // weekdays at 9:00
 ```
 
-### Transactions & raw SQL
+**Command-line tools** with typed flags, prompts and spinners:
 
 ```js
-await db.transaction(async () => {
-  await db.insert("users", { name: "A", createdAt: Date.now() });
-  await db.insert("profiles", { userId: 1, nickname: "A" });
-  return { ok: true }; // throw to roll back
-});
+const { flags } = nc.cli.args({
+  port: { type: "number", short: "p", default: 3000, description: "Port to listen on" },
+}, { version: "1.0.0" });                              // --help and --version for free
 
-await db.exec("CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_name ON users (name)");
-const one = await db.queryOne("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?", [1]);
-const many = await db.queryAll("SELECT * FROM users WHERE role = ?", ["admin"]);
-
-db.close();
+const env = await nc.cli.select("Environment?", ["staging", "production"]);
+const spinner = nc.cli.spinner(`Deploying to ${env}`).start();
+spinner.succeed("Deployed");
 ```
 
----
+That's a small part of it. The [guide](https://ix-xs.github.io/node-comfort/start/introduction/) walks through every namespace, and the [recipes](https://ix-xs.github.io/node-comfort/recipes/) show them working together: a small API server, a CLI, a scheduled job.
 
-## TypeScript
+## Coming from 1.x
 
-The package ships generated `.d.ts` files, so everything is fully typed out of
-the box • no `@types` package needed.
+2.0 keeps the 1.x API but changes a few behaviors. The main ones:
 
-```ts
-import nc from "@ix-xs/node-comfort";
-// or: import * as nc from "@ix-xs/node-comfort";
+- Node.js 22.13 or newer is required.
+- SQLite methods throw a `SQLiteError` instead of returning `{ error }`, and `getAll()` no longer adds a default limit and order.
+- `warn` and `error` write to stderr.
+- Deep imports (`@ix-xs/node-comfort/src/...`) are replaced by official entry points (`@ix-xs/node-comfort/str`).
 
-const id: string = nc.id.uuid();
-const size: string = nc.num.formatBytes(2048);
-```
+The [migration guide](https://ix-xs.github.io/node-comfort/start/migration/) lists every change with before and after examples.
 
----
+Coming from 2.0, there is nothing to change: 2.1 adds functions, makes the existing ones faster and corrects edge cases. The [changelog](./CHANGELOG.md) has the details.
