The latest in JavaScript and cross-platform tools

Node v18.11.0
nodejs.org@adamzdanielle, @nodejs
Highlights of this release:
  • A --watch mode where files are watched for changes (think nodemon)
  • Method .readlines() of FileHandles
  • util.parseArgs() supports default values for options.
The new watch mode is used as follows:
node --watch index.js
node --watch-path=./src --watch-path=./tests index.js  

Node.js reruns the entry point module whenever the watched files change.

Caveat for --watch-path: “This option is only supported on macOS and Windows.”



Rollup 3
github.com@RollupJS
Highlights:
  • First-class support for import assertions.
  • Better defaults for interoperation with ESM on Node.js.
Rollup’s website explains how to migrate to Rollup 3.


Lerna reborn – what’s new in v6?
blog.nrwl.io@juristr, @lernajs
Highlights of the new release:
  • Performance improvements due to caching by default
  • Remote caching and distributed task execution
  • Defining task pipelines
  • lerna add-caching guides you through setting up caching and task pipelines.
  • pnpm support
  • Visual Studio Code extension for Lerna workspaces
  • lerna repair automatically fixes Lerna configurations.
  • Built-in support for Prettier


nvm v0.39.2
github.com@ljharb
Highlights:
  • Improved performance
  • Better support for Apple’s M1 processor and OpenBSD
  • nvm install-latest-npm now works with the upcoming npm 9.


What is pnpm and is it really so fast and space-efficient?
dev.to@SylwiaVargas
Quoting the blog post: “In this post, I’d like to talk about what sets pnpm apart from other package managers – and why we need package managers at all.”
