πŸ‘ͺ All Contributors: 12 🀝 Code of Conduct: Kept πŸ§ͺ Coverage πŸ“ License: MIT πŸ“¦ npm version πŸ’ͺ TypeScript: Strict

Usage

TypeStat is a CLI utility that modifies TypeScript types in existing code. The built-in mutators will only ever add or remove types and will never change your runtime behavior. TypeStat can:

  • ✨ Convert JavaScript files to TypeScript in a single bound!
  • ✨ Add TypeScript types on files freshly converted from JavaScript to TypeScript!
  • ✨ Infer types to fix --noImplicitAny and --noImplicitThis violations!
  • ✨ Annotate missing nulls and undefineds to get you started with --strictNullChecks!

⚑ To start, the typestat command will launch an interactive guide to setting up a configuration file. ⚑

npx typestat
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
πŸ‘‹ Welcome to TypeStat! πŸ‘‹
This will create a new typestat.json for you.
...
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

After, use typestat --config typestat.json to convert your files.

Configuration

To get a deeper understanding of TypeStat, read the following docs pages in order:

This is useful for inspecting potential dependencies or devDependencies without using up precious disk space or waiting minutes for npm install. Ain't nobody got time for dat.

Results are saved so the first person might wait a bit to view package size, but everyone else gets to see the results instantly!

Size Limit Cult Of Martians

Size Limit logo by Anton Lovchikov

Size Limit is a performance budget tool for JavaScript. It checks every commit on CI, calculatesΒ the real cost ofΒ your JS for end-users and throws an error if the cost exceeds theΒ limit.

  • ES modules and tree-shaking support.
  • Add Size Limit to GitHub Actions, Circle CI or another CI system to know if a pull request adds aΒ massiveΒ dependency.
  • Modular to fit different use cases: big JS applications that use their own bundler orΒ smallΒ npmΒ librariesΒ withΒ many files.
  • Can calculate the time it would take a browser to download and execute your JS. TimeΒ isΒ aΒ muchΒ moreΒ accurate andΒ understandable metric compared to the size in bytes.
  • Calculations include all dependencies and polyfills used in your JS.

Size Limit CLI

With GitHub action Size Limit will post bundle size changes as a comment in pull request discussion.

clipboard.js

Build Status Killing Flash

Modern copy to clipboard. No Flash. Just 3kb gzipped.

Demo

Why

Copying text to the clipboard shouldn't be hard. It shouldn't require dozens of steps to configure or hundreds of KBs to load. But most of all, it shouldn't depend on Flash or any bloated framework.

That's why clipboard.js exists.

Install

You can get it on npm.

npm install clipboard --save

Or if you're not into package management, just download a ZIP file.

Setup

First, include the script located on the dist folder or load it from a third-party CDN provider.

<script src="dist/clipboard.min.js"></script>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Now, you need to instantiate it by passing a DOM selector, HTML element, or list of HTML elements.

new ClipboardJS('.btn');
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Internally, we need to fetch all elements that matches with your selector and attach event listeners for each one. But guess…

Hi Tomas,

My list is always focused more towards JavaScript, HTML, CSS and related projects, as these are the technologies that I work in.

I only pick repositories which I have an understanding of as I would not want to add anything to the list that I do not have an understanding of find interesting in someway.

I should probably add this to the introduction of the weekly list.

Thank you
