NPM package in 2021

• smooth-scroll-top

  1 4 4.2 TypeScript

  Smooth scroll to top of the page

I think the best would be to look into the code and see what is where? Go to my GitHub and find the Smooth Scroll Top library. It isn't something extraordinary, but it is an excellent example of preparing the package with a modern approach. I had to agree on some compromises because I wanted to support the React apps scaffolded by Create React App. But these are small overheads. You'll find all the details in the README.md file.

• parcel

  170 43,122 9.4 JavaScript

  The zero configuration build tool for the web. 📦🚀

  

Let's imagine an example. I started to think why I even need tools like Babel or Parcel nowadays to create my NPM package when all of the modern browsers and Node supports the newest ES2020 standard. Suppose I want my code to be reusable across many different websites. At the same time, I don't want to use any third-party modules, and I don't care about any additional optimization because the lib is relatively tiny. What should I do in that case?

• SurveyJS

  surveyjs.io featured

  Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  

• deno

  448 92,975 9.9 Rust

  A modern runtime for JavaScript and TypeScript.

  

There are still many drawbacks in more significant projects, like handling third-party packages, optimization, tree shaking, etc. Of course, if you need to write the whole front-end app, you should probably still use bundlers and transpilers. But I can bet that we will float slowly towards architectures similar to Deno land, where we can import all as modules and put together our whole app. Like for example, using Web Components, etc.

• babel-sublime

  146 3,256 0.0 JavaScript

  Syntax definitions for ES6 JavaScript with React JSX extensions.
