minus-squareDecq@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up10arrow-down1·edit-21 day agoTo be fair in a dynamic typed language with dumb string to int coercions, I kinda get why such a library would exists. So it’s more a symptom of terrible language design than modern dependency hell.
minus-squarebobo@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up9·edit-21 day ago in a dynamic typed language with dumb string to int coercions, I kinda get why such a would library exists. If string return nan, else % 2 So it’s more a symptom of terrible language design than modern dependency hell. Dependency chain: is-even depends on is-odd which depends on is-number
minus-squareDecq@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·edit-21 day ago If string return nan, else % 2 So now you return a number type if it’s a string and a boolean if it’s an integer. How does that make sense? The is-even lib exists to sanitize input by throwing an exception which imho is better. Edit: having looked at the code better. Apparently it still allows string coercion (boo). It only checks for non integer numbers.
minus-squarebobo@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 day agoGood point, but you can do if === true… and else if === false… But definitely better to throw an error instead of nan.

In all seriousness though how does anyone ever audit a npm package, it’s dependency hell!
