Very good lib, gonna use in every project!

Thanks! Let me know how it went 😀

You can get a generalized form of your hard-coded alphabet exports by having a function to generate ranges of characters based on codepoints:

function charRange(startChar, endChar) {
    const start = startChar.codePointAt(0)
    const end = endChar.codePointAt(0)

    return [...new Array(end - start + 1)]
        .map((_, i) => String.fromCodePoint(i + start))
}

const lowerAlphas = charRange('a', 'z') // ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j', 'k', 'l', 'm', 'n', 'o', 'p', 'q', 'r', 's', 't', 'u', 'v', 'w', 'x', 'y', 'z']
const upperAlphas = charRange('A', 'Z') // ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F', 'G', 'H', 'I', 'J', 'K', 'L', 'M', 'N', 'O', 'P', 'Q', 'R', 'S', 'T', 'U', 'V', 'W', 'X', 'Y', 'Z']
const digits = charRange('0', '9') // ['0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9']

const printableAsciis = charRange('\x20', '\x7e') // [' ', '!', '"', '#', '$', '%', '&', "'", '(', ')', '*', '+', ',', '-', '.', '/', '0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9', ':', ';', '<', '=', '>', '?', '@', 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F', 'G', 'H', 'I', 'J', 'K', 'L', 'M', 'N', 'O', 'P', 'Q', 'R', 'S', 'T', 'U', 'V', 'W', 'X', 'Y', 'Z', '[', '\\', ']', '^', '_', '`', 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j', 'k', 'l', 'm', 'n', 'o', 'p', 'q', 'r', 's', 't', 'u', 'v', 'w', 'x', 'y', 'z', '{', '|', '}', '~']

You can also get all ASCII special characters (i.e. non-alphanumerics) by diffing printableAsciis with the alphanumeric versions:

const exclude = new Set([...lowerAlphas, ...upperAlphas, ...digits])
const specials = printableAsciis.filter((char) => !exclude.has(char)) // [' ', '!', '"', '#', '$', '%', '&', "'", '(', ')', '*', '+', ',', '-', '.', '/', ':', ';', '<', '=', '>', '?', '@', '[', '\\', ']', '^', '_', '`', '{', '|', '}', '~']

That's a good point, thanks! If you want, you can create a pull request to replace it with your solution.

Extended string functions are very welcome. Are there any performance tests comparing different approaches?

[ksawery297]

Hi! No, not yet. Turbo strings is still under development so performance might not be the best. After it will be more stable, I will probably add some benchmarks in the readme.
