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

Do note though that ramda is different from rambda. 👍 (Granted they are very similar!)

From Flaky to Flawless: Angular API Response Management with Zod
Zod is an open-source schema declaration and validation library that emphasizes TypeScript. It can refer to any data type, from simple to complex. Zod eliminates duplicative type declarations by inferring static TypeScript types and allows easy composition of complex data structures from simpler ones. It has no dependencies, is compatible with Node.js and modern browsers, and has a concise, chainable interface. Zod is lightweight (8kb when zipped), immutable, with methods returning new instances. It encourages parsing over validation and is not limited to TypeScript but works well with JavaScript as well.

You can’t run away from runtime errors using TypeScript
Zod is a TypeScript-first schema declaration and validation library. It helps create schemas for any data type and is very developer-friendly. Zod has the functional approach of "parse, don't validate." It supports coercion in all primitive types.

What even is a JSON number?
In JS, it's a good idea anyway to use some JSON parsing library instead of JSON.parse.
With Zod, you can use z.bigint() parser. If you take the "parse any JSON" snippet https://zod.dev/?id=json-type and change z.number() to z.bigint(), it should do what you are looking for.

Error handling in our form component for the NextAuth CredentialsProvider
We will validate our input using client-side zod. Zod handles TypeScript-first schema validation with static type inference. This means that it will not only validate your fields, it will also set types on validated fields.

Zod: Zero to Hero - Chapter 4
A word of warning: while discriminated unions are very powerful, there's an ongoing discussion on whether discriminated unions should be deprecated and replaced with a different API.

Zod: Zero to Hero - Chapter 1
I was first introduced to Zod by Adam Bobrow - a colleague of mine and a dear friend. Adam was sick and tired from JavaScript's brittleness, and about two years ago he started migrating our code base to TypeScript. But that wasn't enough for him. He kept complaining: "What good are my types, if some other service decides to send me bad data and breaks my code?". That's when he discovered Zod.
