Vendor by Default (2021)
I think that this approach would cut down the amount of JS dependencies significantly. Things like is-even and is-odd come to mind. You don't want another leftpad or colors.js to happen to you and minimising dependencies is the most effective strategy to accomplish that.
So many leaf dependencies I've looked into are no more than a Stackoverflow answer in a JS file accompanied by six or seven metadata files (package.json + typescript files + linter config + readme + git config + ...). This file: https://github.com/i-voted-for-trump/is-odd/blob/master/inde... is downloaded over 400000 times per week (https://www.npmjs.com/package/is-odd) and while I don't have anythimg against the author for publishing a helpers function, I don't see why I would expose my project to risking a supply chain attack for something so minor. Here's another, with millions of downloads: https://github.com/inspect-js/is-date-object/blob/main/index...
I know that these are all downloaded so ofyen because theyre dependencies of dependencies but I'd appreciate it if bigger libraries would provide a vendored version of their packages that just collects these microdependencies instead of wasting npm's time by making it manage these tiny helper files. Don't vendor stuff like React or Vue or whatever framework you prefer but for the love of God don't add a dependency for 50 lines of code. Sometimes copy/paste is the right solution.

I will pay you cash to delete your npm module
To be fair, there are a lot of edge cases that this thing solves that anybody but an experienced javascript dev would 100% miss. Look at isObject: https://github.com/jonschlinkert/isobject/blob/master/index.js
What are some alternatives?
DefinitelyTyped - The repository for high quality TypeScript type definitions.
is-even - I created this in 2014, when I was learning how to program.
polyglot - Give your JavaScript the ability to speak many languages.
Enzyme - JavaScript Testing utilities for React
dotnet-accelerator
isEvenAPI - :seven: API Wrapper for isEven. Check is a integer is even or odd.
