    Project mention: What are some of the best libraries you cannot work without? | /r/node | 2023-06-08

    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.

    Project mention: My fist codestory. A day in my life, as a coder :) | dev.to | 2022-11-19

    async (config?: { /** * Overwrite the default ignored behavior */ customIgnored?: string[]; }) => { const projectRoot = getProjectRoot(); if (!projectRoot) return; // NB: fix to globally alter real fs in order to fix EMFile error that happens in TSMorph (see https://github.com/isaacs/node-graceful-fs) gracefulFs.gracefulify(realFs); console.log("Searching..."); const tsFunctions = await db.get("TsFunction"); const projectWatcherTsFunctions = tsFunctions.filter( (x) => x.explicitTypeName === "ProjectWatcher" ); const projectWatchers = projectWatcherTsFunctions .map((x) => x.name) .map((name) => sdk[name as keyof typeof sdk] as ProjectWatcher | undefined) .filter(notEmpty); log(`${projectWatchers.length} watchers gonna watch ${projectRoot}`, { type: "important", }); const startupWaitMs = 1000; setTimeout(() => { log( `There they are! \n\n${projectWatchers .map((projectWatcher) => { return `👁 👁 ${projectWatcher.name} ✅`; }) .join("\n")}`, { type: "success", } ); }, startupWaitMs); const startTimeAt = Date.now(); watch(projectRoot, { ignoreInitial: true, ignored: config?.customIgnored || [ "**/node_modules/**", "**/.next/**", "**/.expo/**", "**/build/**", "**/db/**", "**/.git/**", "**/.turbo/**", "**/generated/**", ], // alwaysStat: true, // not sure why I would need this, seems inefficient if I don't need it, I can simply run fs.stat }).on("all", (eventName, path, stats) => { if (Date.now() < startTimeAt + startupWaitMs) return; const relevantWatchers = projectWatchers.filter((watcher) => watcher.filter(eventName, path) ); oneByOne(relevantWatchers, async (projectWatcher) => { await projectWatcher(eventName, path); }); }); };

    When I was browsing NPM for similar projects I do see that this one looks wayyyyy better! It's not a Web Component, but it's similar in what it does. Canvas-record seems to offer several different ways to encode your recordings including a WASM one which should be super speedy!
