Modern JS is TypeScript.

Also Yarn is very handy. (Fast, simple, correct.)

If you need leftPad, maybe just "vendor" it manually.

I don't write JS much but even so I'm pretty sure I've used yarn a couple of times and it Just Worked. Thanks :)

I'm trying to get an application built using a modern JavaScript approach.

Care to share your build set up? I'd very much appreciate it

I haven't done js since jquery days, but keen to get into modern js development

This exists already. Modern JS build tools are actually pretty sophisticated.

twstdzppr | karma | avg karma · | 2022-10-27 18:32:25

Yeah, I probably need JavaScript. Preferably TypeScript.

bobbytran | karma 15 | avg karma 0.52 · | 2020-02-02 22:39:04+00:00

Object oriented at least and probably using a modern JS framework

k__ | karma 14385 | avg karma 1.6 · | 2020-03-26 00:03:23

I'm simply have deep knowledge of JS and it's easy to use for me, so I prefer tools that support it.

But thanks for the suggestions!

I generally use jsfiddle for these kind of things, but AFAIK it doesn't do es6 or Typescript, so RunJs looks like it's worth a try.

azangru | karma 4079 | avg karma 2.53 · | 2023-06-26 10:21:08

Oh wow! I didn't know js version existed! I'll go check it out.

sidcool | karma 15724 | avg karma 3.54 · | 2018-11-07 13:17:27

That's pretty cool. My question then should be, what JS libraries?

knadh | karma 559 | avg karma 5.59 · | 2019-10-20 16:47:52

Thanks :) There isn't one in JS, but it should be really easy to port.

This comment perfectly sums up my expectations of modern JS libraries.

I've been tinkering with Data-Forge Notebook. https://www.data-forge-notebook.com/

It supports javascript and typescript relatively new but capable.

Have you had any luck getting it to handle modern JavaScript style? Whenever I've tried js2-mode it really hasn't liked jQuery style nested anonymous functions.

riekus | karma 84 | avg karma 0.85 · | 2023-06-13 16:00:15

Still looking for a nice setup with JS. Tried some notebook promises with danfoJS but couldn't find something ergonomic

EGreg | karma 7296 | avg karma 0.72 · | 2016-03-22 16:29:23

Well there is CommonJS, and AMD modules. Many modules implement that in JS.

luikore | karma 96 | avg karma 1.2 · | 2013-10-29 02:06:24

I prefer rivets.js. I just need a little library for object binding, I don't need weird java-like concepts.

michaelcampbell | karma 4818 | avg karma 1.64 · | 2014-06-03 14:41:49+00:00

So... like a smalltalk environment? Or something like jsfiddle for javascript?

I created a modern alternative for creating user interfaces in Javascript. Longwood can be summarized with these three principles:

1. It's just JavaScript This view library does not invent a new syntax for templating — you can use traditional Javascript without any build tools.

2. Beginner friendly No magic. Longwood does not introduce complicated concepts that you'll need a PhD in computer science to understand.

3. Strong Typescript support When you're ready, jump in with Typescript and have clear and strong types there to help you.

Let me know what you think
