A minimal set of tools for creating a JavaScript or TypeScript library.

These are the build tools I prefer to use when starting a new JavaScript or TypeScript library. Most libraries I write run both in the browser and in node.js. Each project needs to be lightweight, and to minimize maintenance. And I need build chains for those libraries to pretty much "just work". That last part has become more important over time, as I've maintained more libraries and generally had less time to deal with dependencies and build system issues. For web applications, as opposed to libraries consumed in other projects, these choices may or may not make sense. These are opinionated choices, and will probably change over time.

Almost always:

  • microbundle: Zero-config Rollup bundler, with optional TypeScript support
  • tape: Test runner
  • tap-spec: Clean test output

Occasionally:

Convert legacy three.js (JSON) files to glTF 2.0

legacythree2gltf.js

Converts legacy JSON models (created by the three.js Blender exporter, for THREE.JSONLoader) to glTF 2.0. When original .blend files are available, prefer direct export from Blender 2.80+.

NOTE: JSON files created with .toJSON() use a newer JSON format, which isn't deprecated, and these are still supported by THREE.ObjectLoader. This converter does not support that newer type of JSON file.

Installation:

npm install canvas vblob three

Convert Dashlane JSON export to 1Password CSV import.

I've been a Dashlane user since July 2016, and am finally moving to 1Password because of problems with the macOS app and browser extensions, several of which I've reported repeatedly since 2016. In order of severity:

(1) Do not prompt users to install the browser extensions indefinitely. I'm unwilling and unable to install the extensions on certain browsers at work, because of both work policy and personal security preference. For the past two years, the Dashlane app has prompted me aggressively – opening a prompt, opening a browser tab when I try to close that prompt, and then prompting AGAIN when I try to close that browser tab. Dashlane needs to provide a way to opt out of this, for users with legitimate reasons to not want a browser extension to have access to each website they visit, or who use multiple browsers for e.g. work purposes.

(2) The macOS app regularly locks up on my Macbook Pro, and may require a forced restart and several minutes to load and authenticate.

(3) CSV exports, when I tried to
