What are some of the best libraries you cannot work without?
I haven't seen fs-extra mentioned yet. For my work it involves a fair bit of reading/writing to the filesystem, so this makes it quite nice to deal with everything in an async way.

Re-release fs-extra to properly support esm/cjs usage
Since updating nodejs@18 and switching to esm only, many libraries have been replaced to support esm import, but fs-extra has not been The use of esm is correctly supported, and no suitable replacement has been found. After the a PR proposed by us was rejected, I decided to re-release a [fs-extra-unified] that correctly supports the use of esm (https://www.npmjs.com/package/fs-extra-unified) module.

Implement cool features for my static site generator
Implementing those 3 features was quite simple. For metadata and markdown file, I mainly used an external library: showdown to convert from markdown files to html files as well as parsing metadata from markdown files. However, implementing the support for static assets such as images is a bit more interesting. I had to use another external library called fs-extra to copy assets folder from user to the dist folder. I also had to create another new class called CopyFolder where I used fs.copy method to copy assets folder

Writing JS-based Bash scripts with zx
The zx project implements a shell script executor similar to Bash but using JavaScript modules. It provides an inbuilt asynchronous JavaScript API to call other commands similar to Bash. Besides that, it provides wrapper functions for several Node.js-based command-line helpers such as chalk, minimist, fs-extra, OS, and Readline.

Why Storing Files in the Database Is Considered Bad Practice
Node.js has the built-in fs module (fs/promises with async/await) which makes it easy to interact with the file system. On top of that, there are a few convenient libraries such as fs-extra and findit that make common tasks straightforward.
