Jev-Leftpad A developer published jev-leftpad, an npm package that left-pads a string by calling the jev-latest model through TypeSafe's @typesafe-ai/sdk instead of JavaScript's built-in padStart(). The package requires Node.js 20 or newer and a TYPESAFE_API_KEY, issues one TypeSafe API request per call with retries disabled, and can add only 0 to 10 spaces because Jev is given criteria named space_0 through space_10; the author states it costs more than padStart() and warns against using it in production. The tests mock Jev, need no API key, and spend no TypeSafe credits, and the project is MIT licensed. Left pad a value with Jev. Could this be one line with padStart ? Yes. Does it need a model call? No. Anyway: npm install jev-leftpad python import leftPad from 'jev-leftpad'; const result = await leftPad 'jev', 8 ; console.log JSON.stringify result ; // " jev" probably Set TYPESAFE API KEY before using it. jev-leftpad uses jev-latest through TypeSafe's native @typesafe-ai/sdk https://docs.typesafe.ai/sdk/javascript . It requires Node.js 20 or newer. await leftPad value, targetLength targetLength must be a non-negative safe integer. Jev gets one Choice with criteria named space 0 , space 1 , space 2 , and so on, written directly up to space 10 . For the example above, it should choose space 5 . JavaScript reads the number, creates five spaces, and puts the value after them. This means the package can add between 0 and 10 spaces. If more than 10 spaces are needed, Jev has no correct option. Which feels appropriate for this project. There is one TypeSafe API request per call and retries are disabled. The request can fail, Jev can choose the wrong option, and it costs more than padStart . Please don't use this in production. Or anything important. npm install npm test The tests mock Jev. They don't need an API key and don't spend any TypeSafe credits. MIT
