The latest in JavaScript and cross-platform tools

Node v18.3.0 (current): util.parseArgs() and more
nodejs.org@bengl, @nodejs
The highlight of this release is the new function util.parseArgs():
import { parseArgs } from 'node:util';
const args = ['-f', '--bar', 'b'];
const options = {
  foo: {
    type: 'boolean',
    short: 'f'
  },
  bar: {
    type: 'string'
  }
};
const {
  values,
  positionals
} = parseArgs({ args, options });
console.log(values, positionals);
// Prints: [Object: null prototype] { foo: true, bar: 'b' } []

Japa: backend-focused Node.js testing framework
japa.dev@AmanVirk1, @julien_rpt, @adonisframework
Japa is a testing framework that focuses on backend testing – e.g., no transpilation is required to use it. Features (quoting the website):
  • Test groups, timeout, todo tests and regression tests
  • Datasets
  • Test suites for organizing tests by their type
  • Assertion libraries with support for assertion planning
  • Ability to filter and run specific or only failing tests
  • Re-imagined lifecycle hooks
  • Multiple reporters to display tests progress
  • Great CLI experience with pretty diffs and formatted error stacks
  • Works with ESM and TypeScript both with zero additional setup


WebAssembly in the JavaScript ecosystem [31-minute video]
www.youtube.com@n_moore, @astrodotbuild
“JavaScript developers might be surprised to learn how many of their dependencies already leverage Web Assembly (Wasm) behind the scenes. In this talk, we’ll explore notable uses of Wasm in the JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystems and discuss the benefits of hybrid Wasm/JS tooling as opposed to fully native or fully JS solutions.”
