Edge-Utils

Edge-Utils is a powerful, lightweight library designed specifically for edge computing environments. It provides a comprehensive suite of utilities that help developers build fast, secure, and scalable applications at the edge.

​
What is Edge Computing?

Edge computing brings computation and data storage closer to the location where it’s needed, reducing latency and bandwidth usage. Platforms like Cloudflare Workers, Vercel Edge Functions, and Deno Deploy enable developers to run code at the edge of the network.

​
Why Edge-Utils?

  • Performance Optimized: Built specifically for edge environments with minimal bundle size
  • Platform Agnostic: Works across Cloudflare Workers, Vercel Edge, Deno Deploy, and more
  • Production Ready: Comprehensive error handling, logging, and monitoring
  • Type Safe: Full TypeScript support with comprehensive type definitions
  • Well Tested: Extensive test coverage ensuring reliability
  • Developer Friendly: Intuitive APIs with excellent documentation

​

Quick Example

import { GraphQLClient, CacheManager, WebSocketManager } from 'edge-utils';

// GraphQL with caching
const client = new GraphQLClient('https://api.example.com/graphql', {
  cache: new CacheManager({ ttl: 300000 })
});

const data = await client.query(`
  query GetUser($id: ID!) {
    user(id: $id) {
      name
      email
    }
  }
`, { id: '123' });

// WebSocket real-time communication
const wsManager = new WebSocketManager({
  maxConnections: 1000,
  heartbeatInterval: 30000
});

// Authentication middleware
const auth = new AuthManager({
  jwtSecret: 'your-secret',
  apiKeys: ['key1', 'key2']
});
