Micell - A collection of functions assisting frontend development

发布于：

You maybe always need to write some utility or helper functions in your projects, regardless of the size of the project. These functions are consist of many categories. Some can be shared across the projects, such as:

  • Cookie manipulation
  • Parse or format the date
  • Format the number
  • Detect the type of browser
  • Base64 conversion
  • Common regular expressions
  • And so on.

These are the functions we care about. These are the functions Micell cares about.

So, what is Micell?
