undici VS clipanion

Yeah: interestingly, they had a test for the biggest category of frame, but not for the two other categories: https://github.com/nodejs/undici/blob/main/test/websocket/se...

The test I contributed is very specific to the frame fix I made, but I should probably go back and contribute more tests in send.js that test other lengths too.

The native fetch in Node.js 18 is based on undici.

Sadly, Undici's slow. Reference issue.

Did you try just using the http lib, or even axios/node-fetch? The fetch API in node is very new and looks like there have been concerns about its performance: https://github.com/nodejs/undici/issues/1203

A library that can be handy is Undici - a great HTTP/1.1 client, see here where they apparently added unix:// support: https://github.com/nodejs/undici/pull/226

Afterwards, create your new project and install our lone requirement [undici](https://github.com/nodejs/undici) to make HTTP requests in Node.js by running:

Test coverage currently sits at 89%, hopefully will be stable soon.

undici

We implemented fetch API operation with Node without the need for any library imports. The thing to note that under the hood that the fetch implementation is done based on another HTTP client, undici, which is actually a HTTP client written specifically for Node.js. It is an HTTP 1.1 only client.

> ...enough insights of how much better/faster Deno is

We moved our Deno project to Node because of lack of lower-level APIs on their Conn interfaces [0][1], but otherwise for our use-case (lots of tiny HTTPS connections) Deno absolutely blew Node out-of-the-water. Even at p50 (100tps) Deno (v1.18) was 10x faster than Node (v17.x) [2]

RAM wise, I found Deno (v1.18+) use 10M or so higher for the same code-base.

I maintain Clipanion, which we use in Yarn. I think you'll like it a lot if you work with TypeScript - it doesn't just has types, it also lets you strongly type your application - without any code duplication.

Let us introduce another alternative: Clipanion, a type-safe CLI library with no runtime dependencies, made with TypeScript.

Yarn supports writing plugins that can inject themselves into various places and leverage some of the builtin modules provided by the core. While we didn't get the chance to make all the improvements we hoped, we've still been able to upgrade the command line framework to Clipanion 3, which lets you write intuitive type-checked commands with a minimal syntactic overhead.

Hi me! 👋 I agree 100% All hail Clipanion!
