I kept rewriting the same array.slice(i, i + n) logic in every project. Eventually, I decided to stop and just make a utility.
Chonkify is a small (~870B), zero-dependency JS/TS library for chunking any kind of data:
- Works with Array, String, Buffer, Set, Map, Array-like, TypedArray
- Handles AsyncIterable (great for batching streams)
- Unicode-safe (correctly handles grapheme clusters, emoji, etc.)
- ESM-first, TypeScript-ready
I mostly made it for myself, but figured others might find it useful too.
Would love feedback!
