    Public change requests/proposals & ideation (by npm)

  • Even if you run npm install, only npm 7 and up support workspaces. There is no straightforward way to enforce developer npm version although it is not impossible, so you might want to document the version requirement in your root README. A developer without npm 7+ will end up with unresolved modules in their editor.

  • cli

    Netlify Command Line Interface (by netlify)

  • As soon as you’ve used this feature once, you can no longer use that subdomain with the Netlify CLI. We had to move to other prefixes using the Netlify CLI --alias option. The documentation says to “avoid” using the same prefix as branch names, but doesn’t say why... now you know! Here is the GitHub issue about this.

  • SurveyJS

    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.

  • turborepo

    Discontinued Incremental bundler and build system optimized for JavaScript and TypeScript, written in Rust – including Turborepo and Turbopack. [Moved to: https://github.com/vercel/turbo]

  • We at Caribou have recently adopted a new TypeScript monorepo stack for our app frontends using turborepo.

  • lerna

    :dragon: Lerna is a fast, modern build system for managing and publishing multiple JavaScript/TypeScript packages from the same repository.

  • We had a first look at monorepo management. We knew Lerna was a popular choice, but Turborepo had recently been acquired by Vercel and seemed highly promising. It purported to be very fast but simpler than Lerna, and one of our engineers had a positive experience with it.
