pivot VS You-Dont-Need-Lodash-Underscore

We can construct our apps in a way that is headless, where the app itself works without needing to render anything to the DOM. This is what I'm doing with the Pivot framework. An app is created without anchoring to a DOM element, like this:

The main benefit for me is testing. For example here I'm integration testing the app inside Vitest, so integration tests take just a few milliseconds and can be debugged much more easily in the IDE.

I've done something similar. I love redux, but RTK is absolutely overkill and tightly couples your business logic to the framework. I ended up creating my own createSlice function and side-effects services: https://github.com/andyjessop/pivot/tree/main/packages/lib/slice

These are all really outdated tips. Moment is deprecated and it is recommended to use dayJs or date-fns. Lodash is discouraged because it has a huge bundle size and nowadays you will find native functions which do most of the things people have used lodash before. https://github.com/you-dont-need/You-Dont-Need-Lodash-Underscore

I never used lodash but I found this. Might interest you.

In one of my team's Pull Requests I noticed date-fns being added as dependency for our components library for one usage: transform a timestamp to "MM/yy" string, as it represented a debit card's expiration date. Inspired by You don't (may not) need lodash/underscore, I thought to myself - can't we just implement a 2-digit month and 2-digit year formatting? It looks simple, right?

Yes and no. We did but are converting to in-house code since most Lodash functions are already available as native JS and/or @babel/preset-env + core-js@latest (see: You don't need Lodash).
