Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Decoding Why 0.6 + 0.3 = 0.8999999999999999 in JS and How to Solve?
ii) Third-Party Libraries There are various libraries like math.js, decimal.js, big.js that solve the problem. Each library functions according to its documentation. This approach is comparatively better.

Front-End Dilemmas: Tackling Precision Problems in JavaScript with Decimal.js
Desperate for a solution, I stumbled upon Decimal.js, a JavaScript library that provides arbitrary-precision decimal arithmetic. I was intrigued, so I decided to give it a try.

Rant - Javascript should be able to do simple f**king math by now
I too wish JS had a dedicated Decimal Type, but there is plenty of 3rd party libraries available like decimal.js

The Last Breaking Change | JSON Schema Blog
For your particular example though, if we keep in mind that the input data to be validated is JSON-serializable, only a string could possibly accommodate the precision expected of a decimal from among the JSON-serializable JS primitives. You could use one or more regex patterns to describe the allowable permutations. The resultant schema would be cross-platform since it doesn't use custom keywords - nice! You can also use unions if you want to say that integers, NaN, and Infinity are also allowed per the docs there.

Javascript precision with significant zeros
i've used Decimal.js to account for floating point issues in JS before. maybe this will help? I realize its not native and is a 3rd party lib - but its intent is to handle floating point issues and precision. That kinds sounds like the tree you're barking up right now. maybe it will help.

I'm too afraid to ask
In the example provided, the name of the library is literally Decimal.js: https://mikemcl.github.io/decimal.js/

[AskJS] Are there numeric textbox widgets with built-in support for big numbers like decimal.js?
I'm working on a project where users will enter numbers like 9,999,999,999.99999 (up to 15 digits, up to 5 of them decimal) and we are having a problem with Numbers losing precision beyond certain number of digits (a typical issue for IEEE Standard 754 Floating Point Numbers, the 0.1 + 0.2 problem). I've solved this problem in a few projects before with the help of decimal.js or bignumber,js . In those cases, we kept user-input as strings and used a few custom-made numeric textbox widgets to accommodate this. Unfortunately, those widgets were proprietary... Now I need one again, but can't find anything. Do they exist?

Show HN: I made a web-based notepad with a built in unit calculator
Looks good! I love the idea of the embedded calculator
I noticed that it doesn't handle remainder/modulo (%) equations:
"10 % 2" results in: "Left hand side of addition cannot be a percentage."
It does look like decimal.js can handle that: https://mikemcl.github.io/decimal.js/#mod

I write HTTP services in Go after 13 years (Mat Ryer, 2024)
So far I like the commonly used approach in the Typescript community best:
1. Create your Schema using https://zod.dev or https://github.com/sinclairzx81/typebox
2. Generate your Types from the schema. It's very simple to create partial or composite types, e.g. UpdateModel, InsertModels, Arrays of them, etc.
3. Most modern Frameworks have first class support for validation, like is a great example Fastify (with typebox). Just reuse your schema definition.
That is very easy, obvious and effective.

Has anybody used Typia library?
There's a ton of schema validators out there and most devs have their personal favorite. Mine was zod and is now typebox + ajv.

How can I generate typescript types?
If you're willing to document your API with an OpenAPI schema, then it should be possible to generate TypeScript types based on the OpenAPI schema with something like openapi-typescript. Also, Typebox can generate JSON schemas, maybe it can be used to generate something that the front-end can also use?
-
[AskTS] What do you think will be the future of runtime type checking?
Well, I do provide extensibility for those bullet points you've listed to varying degrees (both schema and type representation), as well as offering a reference implementation for expressing a entirely different schema specification under the type system (specifically RFC8927 / JSON Type Definition). Reference implementation here. As for JSDoc, It's supported in code hints.

Building a modern gRPC-powered microservice using Node.js, Typescript, and Connect
In setting out to build this service, we wanted to use gRPC for its APIs. We’ve been reaching for REST when building APIs so far, primarily out of necessity, i.e., our public APIs needed auto-generated client SDKs and docs for developers working with them. We built those APIs with Fastify and Typebox but felt burned by a code-first approach to generating an OpenAPI spec. I’ll spare you the details and save that experience/learning for another article. Suffice it to say we love gRPC’s schema-first approach. This blog post summarizes our feelings well
