  • fuzz-run

    :runner: Run all your NPM scripts more easily with fuzzy matching

  • It's also completly open source, so you can contribute to it or fork it to make it your own.

  • npm-check

    Check for outdated, incorrect, and unused dependencies.

  • When I remember the command, sometimes I use npm-check or npm-check-updates to save some time, but I most often don't remember which is the one I usually use and what's the syntax. Yarn has definitely an edge here with its yarn upgrade-interactive command.

  • 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.

  • Fuse

    Lightweight fuzzy-search, in JavaScript

  • I've found a way to do that with fuzzy matching. I also found two existing tools that explored the same idea, fuzzy-npm-run and fuzzy-run. Both relied on the same library fuse.js which is not great for matching commands, as it doesn't weight properly specific features like subcommands separation (using characters like -, _, :) or first character of words. This led me to run the wrong scripts too many times to count...
