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.

Tacit Programming
JavaScript is great for point-free programming! Make sure you check out Ramda.js https://ramdajs.com/
It’s fun in the sense that solving a puzzle is fun, but I avoid it for anything I need to maintain long-term.
But it’s good practice for understanding combinators which is useful for some kinds of problems.

Pipeline-Oriented Programming [video]
This is very cool. I remember I got sucked into things like Ramda going down this functional programming rabbit hole :-)

Level up your Typescript game, functionally - Part 2
To create our pipeline, I'm going to use the pipe function from the NodeJS ramda library instead of building my own.

FP and JavaScript/TypeScript
I recently took ownership of the new types/ramda repo. This repo is re-exported by @types/ramda and is the first step to bringing type definitions for ramda in-house. We're already hard at work correcting major issues, adding full currying support, and general bug fixes

When to use currying in JavaScript
I'm going to be honest. You probably don't need to use currying in JavaScript. In fact, trying to fit it in your code is going to do more harm than good, unless it's just for fun. Currying only becomes useful when you fully embrace functional programming, which, in JavaScript, means using a library like Ramda instead of the standard built-in functions.

No Lodash
Lodash gets so many things wrong I’d rather not see it in most projects. I appreciate a good utility library for JS projects but my go-to choice has to be Ramda[1]. Every function it exports is curried and works great with pipe which enables me to write highly reusable and composable functions in pointfree notation. I have never been as productive with lodash, and I find the functional style easier to read

Snap.js - A competitor to Lodash
Do note though that ramda is different from rambda. 👍 (Granted they are very similar!)

TDD
Qué rico. Si tenés chance meté un proceso de code review fuerte, y para el tema de I/O probá a usar https://github.com/Effect-TS/schema ó https://github.com/gcanti/io-ts que les da una solución obvia al tema de "tipos para lo que devuelva el backend", aunque es en realidad mucho más capaz que eso.

Domain modelling with State Machines and TypeScript by Carlton Upperdine
My fave is still io-ts (https://github.com/gcanti/io-ts/blob/master/docs/index.md) as I find it more flexible than zod at the ingress. The author is also working on the Effect ecosystem which also looks interesting.

Why I Like Using Maps (and WeakMaps) for Handling DOM Nodes
I’ve been using io-ts for this and been very happy with it. [1] It’s similar to Swift’s Coding protocol in case you’re familiar.

Can someone recommend a library for data parsing similar to Zod, but with better support for input transformations/preprocessing?
Yeah, there are a few new concepts and it's not the easiest to pick up right away. The best introduction is here on the main documentation page.
- libraries you are happy that you discovered them
- Is React for small projects an Overkill?
-
how to strictly type this?
We use https://github.com/gcanti/io-ts/blob/master/Decoder.md which has a very similar interface. It can even be used to mutate the data using https://github.com/gcanti/io-ts/blob/master/Decoder.md#the-parse-combinator.

Typescript advanced bits: function overloading, never and unknown types
A good way to significantly improve the reliability of your app is via improving type-safety by moving away from using any to unknown. One relevant example could be when you type your backend responses and when stringifying JSON to using unknown combined with some sort of runtime type checking. It can be done either by using built-in functionality like type guards or using an external library like io-ts, zod or yup.

I found 10,000x faster TypeScript validator library
Usage of TypeBox is similar with io-ts and zod, but it is much powerful and faster than them. Also, TypeBox can generate JSON schema very easily. Therefore, if you're looking for a validator library for new project and not suffering from legacy codes, I think TypeBox would be much better choice than io-ts and zod. TypeBox can totally replace them.

Validate your data with Zod
This check can be done with different libraries like: io-ts, typebox, or zod. These libraries allow you to create objects that represent your typescript definitions. Then, these objects can be used at runtime to validate the received data, in addition, you can also convert this object to a Typescript definition to have all the benefits of using typescript. These objects can be called schema validations because they are responsible for the data validation.
What are some alternatives?
lodash - A modern JavaScript utility library delivering modularity, performance, & extras.
zod - TypeScript-first schema validation with static type inference
Rambda - Faster and smaller alternative to Ramda
class-validator - Decorator-based property validation for classes.
