The best part is the dependency on the function is_odd.

Which itself has a dependency of the function is_number.

If I was a JS programmer, I’d just write a bash script to download it every week for fun.

300,000 every week… is this really a feature not built into Java Script?

(+x) % 2 == 0

If you forget for a second it’s Javascript, the language will turn back and bite you.

the is_even package does not provide much worth indeed because it simply negates is_odd and thereby all its benefit.

It’s dependency is_odd on the other hand provides at least some additional checks (it also checks if the value is a valid integer below the max int value)

And while I would indeed see uses for such methods (especially with the other checks, no simple oneliners) in some cases, especially in testing: This is stuff you write yourself, throw it in a e.g. NumberUtils class and everything is fine. You do never depend on an external library for that. The benefit (not spending a few seconds to write it) does not outweigh any of the drawbacks that come with external libraries.
