@rushstack/node-core-library

This library provides a conservative set of "core" NodeJS utilities whose purpose is to standardize how we solve common problems across our tooling projects. In order to be considered "core", the class must meet ALL of these criteria:

small and self-contained (i.e. quick to install)
solves a ubiquitous problem (i.e. having one standardized approach is better than allowing each developer to use their favorite library)
broad enough applicability to justify imposing it as a dependency for nearly every NodeJS project
code is design reviewed, API approved, and documented

Examples of "core" functionality that meets this criteria:

basic file/folder manipulation
JSON file loader/saver/validator
package.json parser
build performance timers
executing shell commands

This package is NOT intended to be a dumping ground for arbitrary utilities that seem like they might be useful. Code should start somewhere else, and then graduate to node-core-library after its value has already been demonstrated. If in doubt, create your own NPM package.
