Sun, 22 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000

For a long time, TypeScript has lacked a robust standard library. While other languages like Rust, Go, or Python offer standard tools for error handling, concurrency, and side effects, TypeScript developers have had to resort to multiple specialized libraries.

Para tener esta clase en nuestro proyecto solo necesitaremos el paquete illuminate/support que podremos instalar con:

composer require illuminate/support:5.2.x-dev

Para mostrar algunos ejemplos utilizaremos un pequeño array con estos datos:
