  • Project mention: Switching to Vite from React-Scripts | dev.to | 2024-05-26

    I have a silly react project that Iā€™m working on that I made using create-react-app. By default, these kinds of projects build and run using react-scripts which uses webpack under the hood for building projects.

  • Project mention: How 'npm create vue@latest' works | dev.to | 2024-05-28

    But what is a symbolic link exactly? It comes from programming and I often liken symbolic links to basic redirects but with greater stability. However, not every package needs a place in .bin. Packages like nodemon, webpack, gulp, eslint and create-vue are found in .bin because they need to be executed. On the other hand, packages like animate.css, swiper and express operate at the application layer, so you won't find them in .bin after installation. How does npm determine whether a package is executable or not? It's simple: by using the bin property in your package.json to specify the executable path. If your package is executable, you can set it accordingly. Let's take a look at prettier's package.json file
