🩺 [HIGH] correctness: truncate has off-by-one error and edge case for small maxLength
The truncate function incorrectly truncates strings that are exactly maxLength long due to using >= instead of >. Additionally, if maxLength is less than 3, maxLength - 3 will result in a non-positive slice length, leading to unexpected output like just ... even if the original string is shorter.
Suggestion:
| // because the condition uses >= instead of > | |
| if (str.length <= maxLength) { | |
| return str; | |
| } | |
| if (maxLength < 3) { | |
| return '...'; | |

🩺 [MEDIUM] correctness: slugify does not trim leading/trailing hyphens
The slugify function can produce slugs with leading or trailing hyphens if the input string contains special characters at its start or end. This can lead to inconsistent or malformed URLs.

🩺 [HIGH] correctness: isValidEmail regex is too permissive

🩺 [MEDIUM] correctness: truncate off-by-one and maxLength edge case
The truncate function has an off-by-one error: it truncates when str.length === maxLength. It should only truncate if str.length > maxLength. Additionally, if maxLength is less than 3, maxLength - 3 will result in incorrect slicing.

🩺 [MEDIUM] correctness: slugify leaves leading/trailing hyphens
The slugify function correctly replaces special characters with hyphens but fails to trim any resulting leading or trailing hyphens. This can lead to slugs like --hello-world-- which are not ideal for URLs.

🩺 [HIGH] correctness: truncate function has off-by-one error and edge case issues
The condition str.length >= maxLength causes truncation even when the string length equals maxLength, which is an off-by-one error. Additionally, if maxLength is less than 3, maxLength - 3 will be non-positive, leading to incorrect or empty results for the slice operation.
Suggestion:

🩺 [HIGH] correctness: isValidEmail uses an overly permissive regex
The current regular expression for email validation is too broad and can incorrectly validate malformed email addresses (e.g., 'user@.com', 'user@domain.'). This can lead to invalid data being accepted into the system, violating data quality standards.
