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.

Google OAuth2 with Fastify + TypeScript From Scratch
Now serve this basic page on port 4000 (You can use in-built Live Server if you are using Visual Studio Code OR You can use Live Server package)

Newb question: Can I use Sveltekit without a server running nodejs?
It still uses some JavaScript inside the browser. Have you tried just pointing a web server at the build output (e.g. live-server)?

Simplest way to run a website on your computer?
For example, PHP provides a builtin testing server; I think python has one too, and there are various options for nodejs, e.g. live-server.

Live Server plugin for vim/nvim
I made a plugin for vim/nvim that allows you to use Live Server for editing your html, css and js files with automatic reload on changes. It uses this: https://www.npmjs.com/package/live-server.

Running a live server for simple HTML/CSS/JS development?
Could try https://github.com/tapio/live-server which you would run with the entry file being your html file. Just need to start it inside a terminal somewhere.

Creating a Gantt chart with vanilla JavaScript
The CSS will be defined in JavaScript files. We will use JavaScript modules to split the code into separate modules that can be imported and exported, so weâll need a local HTTP server to run the code. We need to do this because JavaScript modules follow the same-origin policy, which means that you cannot import modules from your file system by default. To get a local server with live reload, you can install the npm Live Server package. If you are using VS Code, you can install the Live Server extension.

live reload for basic html/css/js on docker
ended up using live-reload. https://www.npmjs.com/package/live-server

Is there a way to see your webpage while your edit it?
You can install live-server separately and run it from terminal https://www.npmjs.com/package/live-server
-
Instead of resizing my browser to check my website design what to do?
Check live-server out. It auto reloads the page when you save any of the files (html, css, jss) in the folder.

React Server Components Example with Next.js
In the Changelog Podcast episode referenced above, Dan Abramov alluded to Parcel working on RSC support as well. I couldnât find much to back up that claim aside from a GitHub issue discussing directives and a social media post by Devon Govett (creator of Parcel), so I canât say for sure if Parcel is currently a viable option for developing with RSCs.

JS Toolbox 2024: Bundlers and Test Frameworks
Parcel 2 emphasizes a zero-configuration approach to bundling web applications. It's a powerful tool that offers a hassle-free developer experience, focusing on simplicity and speed.

Build a Vite 5 backend integration with Flask
Once you build a simple Vite backend integration, try not to complicate Vite's configuration unless you absolutely must. Vite has become one of the most popular bundlers in the frontend space, but it wasn't the first and it certainly won't be the last. In my 7 years of building for the web, I've used Grunt, Gulp, Webpack, esbuild, and Parcel. Snowpack and Rome came-and-went before I ever had a chance to try them. Bun is vying for the spot of The New Hotness in bundling, Rome has been forked into Biome, and Vercel is building a Rust-based Webpack alternative.

Building Node.js applications without dependencies
Iâve tried something similar on the frontend side: I decided to build a UI for Ollama.ai using only HTML, CSS, and JS (Single-Page Application). The goal is to learn something new and have zero runtime dependencies on other projects and NPM modules. Only Node and Parcel.js (https://parceljs.org/) are needed during development for serving files, bundling, etc. The only runtime dependency is a modern browser.
Here's what I have found so far:
- JavaScript (vanilla) is a viable alternative to React.js

11 Ways to Optimize Your Website
Besides Webpack, there are many other popular web bundlers available, such as Parcel, Esbuild, Rollup, and more. They all have their own unique features and strengths, and you should make your decision based on the needs and requirements of your specific project. Please refer to their official websites for details.

Bun vs Node.js: Everything you need to know
In the Node.js ecosystem, bundling is typically handled by third-party tools rather than Node.js itself. Some of the most popular bundlers in the Node.js world include Webpack, Rollup, and Parcel, offering features like code splitting, tree shaking, and hot module replacement.

JavaScript Gom Jabbar
There are projects attempting to do more things. I've really enjoyed Parcel (https://parceljs.org). But it won't handle things like linting or unit testing, which you may or may not want. Vite is also pretty popular (https://vitejs.dev/), and it has a test runner.
Thing is, most of the problems described in the post aren't related to low-JS front-end libraries like HTMX or alpine. You can write React without a linter, bundler, build tool, unit testing, or linting. But with any of these projects at scale, you start wanting more:
- If you want to write unit tests in JS, you need to choose a test runner (probably Jest or Vitest -- until the built-in node testing module becomes more common).
- If you want linting, you need a linter (probably Eslint). If you want type safety, you need a type checker (probably Typescript).
- If you want to create smaller JS files to ship to production and to automatically handle assets, you need a bundler.
- If you want to use new language features while supporting old browsers, you need polyfills.
- If you want to use all these things together, you need something to bring it together (like Webpack).
So it really depends what you need! You may not need any. But as you can imagine, in many professional projects with multiple developers it's very nice to have unit tests, linting, and type checking :) (And you start caring about end-user performance a lot more, in which case optimizing the shipped bundle is important.)
Take all that, and then compare to a language like Rust, which has most of the "ecosystem stuff" built-in. In Rust, you get the test runner, the linter, dependency manager, type checker, and documentation tool all included. Easy! Thankfully, Rust doesn't have to care about whether users support modern language features (because it compiles down to lower code ahead of time), or whether the binary shipped to the client is optimally organized for downloading immediately over the internet.
It's a problem in JS because A) you have to care about more problems than many other languages since JS needs to load instantly over the wire in a web browser, and B) there is a huge amount of choice and not a lot of standardization in web tools. (And what standardization there is (Node, npm), there are still competitors trying to even further reduce the pain points.)
I think that in ten more years, we'll be in a better place, because there is push back (like this post!) against these problems, which will encourage more tools trying to solve the explosion of tools. Which seems counterintuitive, but these tools were created to solve very real problems. So I see it as a pendulum which has swung too far, but will likely swing back to a more balanced place. And you see that with tools like Vite gaining popularity.
What are some alternatives?
http-server - a simple zero-configuration command-line http server
vite - Next generation frontend tooling. It's fast!
bracey.vim - live edit html, css, and javascript in vim
gulp - A toolkit to automate & enhance your workflow
Babel (Formerly 6to5) - đ Babel is a compiler for writing next generation JavaScript.
esbuild - An extremely fast bundler for the web
browser-run - Run code inside a browser from the command line
Next.js - The React Framework
npm-home - Open the npm page, Yarn page, or GitHub repo of a package
webpack - A bundler for javascript and friends. Packs many modules into a few bundled assets. Code Splitting allows for loading parts of the application on demand. Through "loaders", modules can be CommonJs, AMD, ES6 modules, CSS, Images, JSON, Coffeescript, LESS, ... and your custom stuff.
alex - Catch insensitive, inconsiderate writing
Rollup - Next-generation ES module bundler
