hyperapp VS tape

The likely reason it never caught on, is that it has similar pitfalls as Backbone:

- manually attaching DOM elements to view controllers

- manually attaching child views

- models which have to be wired individually via .listenTo

- possibility of infinite loops if the events accidentally recurse

A better tiny alternative would be hyperapp[1] or even Preact, that has a similar bundle size.

If they're focused on performance and bundle size, it's your chance to try some minimalistic exotic stuff like hyperapp (https://github.com/jorgebucaran/hyperapp) or mithril (https://mithril.js.org/) Just for fun

With a bit of a deadline (due to a mixture of procrastination and confidence that Vue would work) I needed something quick. I have also used Hyperapp in the past but that looks like a dead project right now (although arguably it has all the functionality you need so why keep developing it?).

I’m glad it left that impression! My thoughts have clarified a bit since I read that post, and I think what I describe is more declarative, like React. But the best places to read about it (for web devs) are in Elm!

There is also this new thing I found that seems to really lean into the core of what being functional means here: https://github.com/jorgebucaran/hyperapp

After a while, you see that basically all systems can be modeled as event-driven, functional systems. It’s a flexible model, and fits beautiful into web dev where the semantics are very clear: the system is the web app and events are clicks, keyboard events, asynchronous calls...

Hyperapp is 1kb.

I'll tell you what I've learnt from struggling with a bug that made me lose a couple of weeks. The application framework used in this post is Hyperapp, but I guess the same problem can be found in frameworks based on transforming the state of "Single Source of Truth" with pure functions (such as Elm, Redux, so on) if we use them in a wrong way.

Personally, I try my best to avoid bringing in dependencies as much as possible, and try to limit my exposure to only dependencies with low/shallow transitive dependency counts. Unfortunately, this is pretty hard, especially in corporate settings. What we need more of are the opposite of what we've been collectively praising: we need more monolithic packages. Case in point: lodash.template is currently vulnerable with no mitigation, even though lodash itself is not. That's just sloppy publishing practices. Esbuild is a great start over the webpack/babel maze of dependencies. There's a stdlib effort along those lines that hopefully would also help. There's a bunch of micro-frameworks that are used in production just fine and have little to no dependencies.

Last but not least important are ava, uvu and tape; they are a really light and fast test runners.

A more minimalist approach is this tape module and the TAP protocol. https://www.npmjs.com/package/tape

OK will do. Do you have any tips on finding a suitable project? Ideally I was hoping to to contribute to a piece of software that I actually use/know/like/want to improve. Given that, and my area of expertise, I had shortlisted Signal Desktop, and Tape.

Reactjs I have the following components: // Hello.jsexport default (React) => ({name}) => { return ( Hello {name ? name : 'Stranger'}! )}// App.jsimport createHello from './Hello'export default (React) => () => { const Hello = createHello(React) const helloProps = { name: 'Jane' } return ( )}// index.jsimport React from 'react'import { render } from 'react-dom'import createApp from './App'const App = createApp(React)render( , document.getElementById('app')) And I want to set up a test to see if the App component contains one Hello component. I tried the following, using Tape and Enzyme: import createApp from './App'import React from 'react'import test from 'tape'import { shallow } from 'enzyme'test('App component test', (assert) => { const App = createApp(React) const wrapper = shallow() assert.equal(wrapper.find('Hello').length === 1, true)}) But the result was that the length property of the find result was equal to 0, when I was expecting it to be equal to 1. So, how do I find my Hello component? Answer link : https://codehunter.cc/a/reactjs/find-component-by-display-name-when-the-component-is-stateless-functional-with-enzyme

For us at Begin and Architect, tape has been in use for several years. tape has a stable and straightforward API, routine maintenance updates, and outputs TAP, making it really versatile. While TAP is legible, it's not the most human-readable format. Fortunately, several TAP reporters can help display results for developers. Until recently, Begin's TAP reporter of choice was tap-spec. Sadly tap-spec wasn't kept up to date and npm began reporting vulnerabilities.

I really enjoy Ava [1] or anything assert-tape-like [2]. "uvu" [3] is getting a lot of love lately, but it's very feature limited and much of it's touted advantages are at the detriment to feature set.

Jest is great for front-end (or full stack integration) testing, but I feel it's specialized for that use-case and doesn't always play nice with backend/middle-tier testing needs.
