Introduction

Cretex is a powerful utility designed to simplify API response handling, complex data serialization, style management, and other dynamic properties. By providing a flexible and efficient approach, Cretex helps developers manage data and structures with ease based on runtime conditions.

Cretex provides a powerful yet intuitive way to structure and combine values dynamically, making it an essential tool for both frontend and backend development.

Whether you're managing API responses, dynamic class names, or nested object structures, Cretex helps eliminate unnecessary values, ensure proper data flow, and maintain clean, optimized outputs with minimal effort.

"A powerful utility for dynamically combining and managing different types of values into a structured, optimized, and flexible output."

What Cretex can do:

– Cleanly concatenate strings. – Deeply concatenate objects. – Supports multiple argument types. – Removes falsy values, empty objects in deep objects. – Chaining capabilities. – Can run in various runtime conditions.

How Can Cretex Help You?

With Cretex, you no longer have to worry about redundant values in API responses, inefficient data structures, or overly complex condition-based styling. Cretex takes care of these problems automatically, allowing you to focus on building great applications.

Cretex is an open-source, community-driven utility. It is built with extensibility in mind, encouraging contributions and improvements. Whether you're a backend engineer, frontend developer, or full-stack builder, Cretex can significantly streamline your workflow.

Why Use Cretex?

🚀 Versatile & Dynamic

Cretex is designed to work in multiple scenarios, including API data transformation, UI styling, and configuration management. Its dynamic chaining and flexible input handling make it a valuable tool for any development workflow.

🔄 Optimized & Efficient

By automatically filtering out unwanted values and merging data intelligently, Cretex reduces unnecessary computations and improves performance, ensuring that only meaningful values are retained.

🌐 Universal Compatibility

  • Supports both frontend & backend development – Cretex can be used in any JavaScript or TypeScript environment, including Node.js, Next.js, React, and more.
  • Compatible with various module systems – Cretex supports ESM (ECMAScript Modules) and CJS (CommonJS), making it easy to integrate into modern and legacy projects.
  • Optimized for modern JavaScript – Compiled with "lib": ["ES2020", "es5", "es6", "es7", "esnext", "dom"] and targeting ES2018, ensuring broad compatibility without sacrificing modern optimizations.

🔧 Simple API, Powerful Features

Cretex offers a concise API that is easy to use while maintaining the flexibility to handle deep object structures, nested arrays, and function-based value resolution. Its intuitive design allows developers to manage data dynamically without unnecessary complexity.

Core Features

  1. Dynamic API Response Handling

    • Seamlessly combine API responses with nested objects, filtering out unnecessary values while preserving important data.
    • Ensures structured and meaningful API outputs.

  2. Flexible Data Serialization

    • Handles deep object serialization, allowing for selective value retention and structured data merging.
    • Provides fine-grained control over how objects, arrays, and primitive values are combined.

  3. Effortless Style & Class Management

    • Simplifies dynamic class name composition for UI frameworks (similar to clsx and cva but with a more intuitive syntax).
    • Supports conditional styles, function-based merging, and array/object-based class handling.

  4. Zero Overhead & High Performance

    • Lightweight and optimized for performance.
    • Avoids redundant processing, ensuring minimal runtime impact.

Cretex: Built for Modern Development

Cretex is not just a utility—it is a foundation for structured, efficient, and maintainable code. Whether you're building a scalable API, a reactive UI framework, or managing complex data flows, Cretex provides the tools to make development smoother and more intuitive.
