Version 1.0.0

@stackline/tslib

Runtime library for TypeScript helper functions

Independent maintenance of tslib 2.8.1. Original authors and licenses are retained.

Installation

# Preserve existing imports with an npm alias
npm install tslib@npm:@stackline/tslib@1.0.0
# Or use the scoped package name in your imports
npm install @stackline/tslib@1.0.0

Node.js: See compatibility notes. Read the compatibility and maintenance notes before migrating.

Usage and API

The reference below may retain upstream package names. Use the alias installation above to run those imports with this Stackline release.

For TypeScript importHelpers, use the tslib alias: generated helpers import that package name. Installing only the scoped name does not provide it.

tslib

This is a runtime library for TypeScript that contains all of the TypeScript helper functions.

This library is primarily used by the --importHelpers flag in TypeScript. When using --importHelpers, a module that uses helper functions like __extends and __assign in the following emitted file:

var __assign = (this && this.__assign) || Object.assign || function(t) {
    for (var s, i = 1, n = arguments.length; i < n; i++) {
        s = arguments[i];
        for (var p in s) if (Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call(s, p))
            t[p] = s[p];
    }
    return t;
};
exports.x = {};
exports.y = __assign({}, exports.x);

will instead be emitted as something like the following:

var tslib_1 = require("tslib");
exports.x = {};
exports.y = tslib_1.__assign({}, exports.x);

Because this can avoid duplicate declarations of things like __extends, __assign, etc., this means delivering users smaller files on average, as well as less runtime overhead. For optimized bundles with TypeScript, you should absolutely consider using tslib and --importHelpers.

Installing

For the latest stable version, run:

npm

# TypeScript 3.9.2 or later
npm install tslib

# TypeScript 3.8.4 or earlier
npm install tslib@^1

# TypeScript 2.3.2 or earlier
npm install tslib@1.6.1

yarn

# TypeScript 3.9.2 or later
yarn add tslib

# TypeScript 3.8.4 or earlier
yarn add tslib@^1

# TypeScript 2.3.2 or earlier
yarn add tslib@1.6.1

bower

# TypeScript 3.9.2 or later
bower install tslib

# TypeScript 3.8.4 or earlier
bower install tslib@^1

# TypeScript 2.3.2 or earlier
bower install tslib@1.6.1

JSPM

# TypeScript 3.9.2 or later
jspm install tslib

# TypeScript 3.8.4 or earlier
jspm install tslib@^1

# TypeScript 2.3.2 or earlier
jspm install tslib@1.6.1

Usage

Set the importHelpers compiler option on the command line:

tsc --importHelpers file.ts

or in your tsconfig.json:

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "importHelpers": true
    }
}

For bower and JSPM users

You will need to add a paths mapping for tslib, e.g. For Bower users:

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "module": "amd",
        "importHelpers": true,
        "baseUrl": "./",
        "paths": {
            "tslib" : ["bower_components/tslib/tslib.d.ts"]
        }
    }
}

For JSPM users:

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "module": "system",
        "importHelpers": true,
        "baseUrl": "./",
        "paths": {
            "tslib" : ["jspm_packages/npm/tslib@2.x.y/tslib.d.ts"]
        }
    }
}

Deployment

Done.

Upstream origin and triage

Reviewed issues

Primary-source snapshot: 2026-09-29T00:21:42.770647+00:00. Most recently updated 100 open and 30 closed issue/PR entries; PRs removed. This is triage evidence, not a claim of exhaustive review.

Maintenance adoption with preserved runtime payload. No runtime defect correction is claimed. Reports remain visible for subsequent targeted reproduction.

The structured snapshot in .stackline/issue-triage.json also records recently closed reports. Issues for unrelated packages in shared monorepositories were qualified as outside this fork’s runtime scope. No maintainer was contacted.

Release files and references

Package bytes, npm provenance and the immutable GitHub release were verified for this version. Security checks describe the reviewed release; documented compatibility risks and upstream reports are not blanket claims of resolution.
