🧰 Simplify Your API Responses in Node.js with api-response-utility

Hey devs 👋

I just released my first NPM package called api-response-utility, and I wanted to share it with you all. It’s a small utility to help format your API responses — success, error, and pagination — in a clean, consistent way.

🧠 Why I built it

In every backend project, I found myself writing the same response boilerplate:

{ success: true, message: "...", data: ... }
{ success: false, message: "Error message" }

So I packaged it into a utility you can reuse across projects.

🚀 Features

• Clean success and error responses

• Built-in pagination support

• Super simple API

• Fully customizable

• Lightweight (no dependencies)

How to use

npm install api-response-utility

const {success, error} = require('api-response-utility');

res.status(200).json(success({ userId: 123 }, "User retrieved successfully"));

res.status(500).json(error("Something went wrong", 500));
