    Discontinued Dockernized prettier. This is an opinionated code formatter. (by tmknom)

  • Thanks for the sharing! Just a couple of suggestions: i would prefer Ramda or lodash instead of underscore. I would additionally recommend the following libraries: - Deal with git stuff: isomorphic-git (https://github.com/isomorphic-git/isomorphic-git) is a pure JavaScript reimplementation of git that works in both Node.js and browser JavaScript environments. - Generate app from templates: yeoman (https://github.com/yeoman/yeoman) is a robust and opinionated set of tools, libraries, and a workflow that can help developers quickly build beautiful, compelling web apps. - Lint and format a code: prettier (https://github.com/prettier/prettier) is an opinionated code formatter. It enforces a consistent style by parsing your code and re-printing it with its own rules that take the maximum line length into account, wrapping code when necessary. - Deal with schemas: zod (https://github.com/colinhacks/zod) is a TypeScript-first schema declaration and validation library. I'm using the term "schema" to broadly refer to any data type, from a simple string to a complex nested object. - Deal with react state elegantly: valtio (https://github.com/pmndrs/valtio) turns the object you pass it into a self-aware proxy. - Add keybindings: tinykeys (https://github.com/jamiebuilds/tinykeys) - a tiny (~400 B) & modern library for keybindings.

  • isomorphic-git
