Description

@boneskull

Time

Friday, June 8th 2018, 16:00 UTC (4:00 PM), or in your local time

Agenda

We will gather user feedback from Tooling group. For this session, I've selected a few "hot-button" issues from #59 which we will discuss:

  • Cross-platform problems (fs, child_process)
  • fs is missing some key operations (rimraf, mkdirp, fs-extra, etc.)
  • Node.js startup time

Otherwise, anything goes along these topics:

  • What's great about writing CLI tools in Node.js?
  • What could be better about writing CLI tools in Node.js?
  • What upcoming features will have an impact on your tooling work?

We'll try to give everyone a chance to be heard, but time is limited! Discussion points may also be added to #59, if you can't make the meeting.

Invited

  • Anyone working in Node.js CLI tooling who wants to provide feedback
  • Anyone who attended the last Tooling session
  • User feedback team members (@nodejs/user-feedback)

Joining the meeting

Definitions

For our purposes, Tooling can be considered "command-line programs written in Node.js". Examples include tools which:

  • build websites (e.g. Webpack, browserify)
  • compile to/from JS (e.g. Babel, TypeScript)
  • run test or static code checks (e.g. Mocha, ESLint)
  • scaffold stuff (e.g. EmberCLI, create-react-app, Yeoman)
  • run tasks (e.g. Grunt, Gulp)
  • manage packages (e.g. npm, yarn)

and include:

  • plugin ecosystem around any of the above
  • libraries often consumed by CLI programs (e.g. chalk, yargs)
