Cheat sheet: JavaScript Array methods

Deriving a new Array from an existing Array:

['■','●','▲'].slice(1, 3)          ⟼ ['●','▲']
['■','●','■'].filter(x => x==='■') ⟼ ['■','■']
    ['▲','●'].map(x => x+x)        ⟼ ['▲▲','●●']
    ['▲','●'].flatMap(x => [x,x])  ⟼ ['▲','▲','●','●']

Pure ESM package

The package that linked you here is now pure ESM. It cannot be require()'d from CommonJS.

This means you have the following choices:

Use ESM yourself. (preferred)
Use import foo from 'foo' instead of const foo = require('foo') to import the package. You also need to put "type": "module" in your package.json and more. Follow the below guide.
If the package is used in an async context, you could use await import(…) from CommonJS instead of require(…).
Stay on the existing version of the package until you can move to ESM.

NPX (NPM Package Runner) Commands

List of useful npx (NPM Package Runner) commands.

What is NPX?

Using NPX we can execute/run node binaries without the need to install it locally or globally.

Commands

Each of these commands will run an ad hoc http static server in your current (or specified) directory, available at http://localhost:8000. Use this power wisely.
