My Favorite JavaScript Libraries
8 June 2019
Every day I write a lot of JavaScript code. Here is the top 5 libraries that I use across different projects.
Day.js β a fast 2kB library that simplifies working with dates. I like it more than heavy moment.js β itβs lightweight and has lots of useful extensions.
Axios.js β a flexible HTTP client that uses promises. It works in all browsers and in Node.js.
Commander.js β a library for creating command-line apps. Sometimes I am too lazy to build graphical user interface (GUI).
Debug.js β a library that you should use if youβre still writing console.log() statements. It makes debugging much easier!
Cheerio β itβs a jQuery for the server, useful for HTML traversing. When a website does not have an API, you can download the HTML and process it with Cheerio. Works like charm!
