Constants

@basmilius/utils exports a few small constants that are used throughout the codebase. They are typed as literal types (as const) so they remain narrow when used in unions or template literals.

Importing

import { CHECK, CROSS, MDASH, NDASH, NOOP } from '@basmilius/utils';

CHECK

A heavy check mark glyph used for boolean indicators in tables and CLIs.

const CHECK = '✔';

CROSS

A heavy cross glyph, the visual counterpart of CHECK.

const CROSS = '✘';

MDASH

The em dash — wider than NDASH. Useful for joining clauses or filling empty cells.

const MDASH = '—';

NDASH

The en dash – typically used for ranges (for example 2024–2025).

const NDASH = '–';

NOOP

A no-op function that swallows all arguments and returns undefined. Handy as a safe default for optional callbacks.

const NOOP: Function = () => void 0;

Usage

import { CHECK, CROSS, MDASH, NOOP } from '@basmilius/utils';

const status = (ok: boolean): string => ok ? CHECK : CROSS;

const range = `2024 ${MDASH} 2025`;

function createWidget(onClose: () => void = NOOP): void {
    // onClose is always callable.
}
