This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on dev.to

Our great sponsors
  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • lighthouse-ci

    Automate running Lighthouse for every commit, viewing the changes, and preventing regressions

  • This name is already self-explanatory, and developers just need to run Lighthouse or its CI.

  • prettier

    Prettier is an opinionated code formatter.

  • Moreover, there is no doubt that this test produces the most significant value for the cost. All developers need to do is just add syntax rules (ESLint) and format rules (Prettier) at the beginning of the project. Javascript and even Typescript are innately susceptible to runtime errors, but enforcing these coding rules in the build process amazingly captures most coding errors in the compile errors like Java or Golang.

  • 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.

  • jest

    Delightful JavaScript Testing.

  • Some components or functions have complex rules in them, thus, testing its logic (by tools like Jest makes sense. This is part of the Unit Testing, but the name sounds too ambiguous, as explained before.

  • ESLint

    Find and fix problems in your JavaScript code.

  • Moreover, there is no doubt that this test produces the most significant value for the cost. All developers need to do is just add syntax rules (ESLint) and format rules (Prettier) at the beginning of the project.

  • lighthouse

    Automated auditing, performance metrics, and best practices for the web.

  • This name is already self-explanatory, and developers just need to run Lighthouse or its CI.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
