Do I need a library

Is this library solving my problem
Is the code style matching my stack, eg is typescript well supported, could you live without support?
Is the library maintained and regularly
Is the library full of security issues flagged by npm
Does the library use as few dependencies as possible to prevent headaches when managing other dependencies.
