Eh, I can see why you'd want something like that in a language like JavaScript where pretty much all native ways of validating input have weird edge cases. Sometimes you just want the community to figure it out for you instead of reinventing the wheel and finding out you missed something later on.
A whole package that handles validation of inputs, or a math package would be better than a package that just has one function tho.
yeah, generally it seems like you want a more broad package, if for something like validating input, it would be comprehensive across all input for example.
There's one package on npm called is-even and i think another called is-odd, which according to the author are "learning experiences" which have, considerable amounts of downloads, even though it's literally just is-even checking. Shit like that should probably get you banned from using keyboards for the rest of your life lol
