Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

v3.0.1

🐊Putout plugin adds ability to remove useless and add missing operator 'new'

Downloads

26,430

Readme

@putout/plugin-new NPM version

The new operator lets developers create an instance of a user-defined object type or of one of the built-in object types that has a constructor function.

(c) MDN

🐊Putout plugin adds ability to add missing and remove useless operator new.

Install

npm i @putout/plugin-new

Rule

{
    "rules": {
        "new/remove-useless": "on",
        "new/add-missing": "on"
    }
}

remove-useless

Operator new has no sense for Boolean, String, Number, Object, RegExp, Math, Reflect, Error, TypeError:

Thus the function call Error(…) is equivalent to the object creation expression new Error(…) with the same arguments.

(c) https://262.ecma-international.org/12.0/#sec-error-constructor

And Symbol, BigInt cannot be used with new, as it is primitive.

❌ Example of incorrect code

new Error('Something whent wrong');
new new Boolean()();

✅ Example of correct code

Error('Something whent wrong');
Boolean();

add-missing

The Set constructor lets you create Set objects that store unique values of any type, whether primitive values or object references.

(c) MDN

Missing operator new should be added since built-in objects:

  • Set;
  • WeakSet;
  • Map;
  • WeakMap;
  • Int8Array;
  • Uint8Array;
  • Uint8ClampedArray;
  • Int16Array;
  • Uint16Array;
  • Int32Array;
  • Uint32Array;
  • Float32Array;
  • Float64Array;
  • BigInt64Array;
  • BigUint64Array;

Produces TypeError when called without new:

Uncaught TypeError: Constructor Set requires 'new'

❌ Example of incorrect code

const map = Map();

✅ Example of correct code

const map = new Map();

Linter | Rule | Fix --------|-------|------------| 🐊 Putout | remove-useless-new| ✅ ⏣ ESLint | no-new-wrappers | ❌ ⠀| no-new-object | ❌ ⠀| no-array-constructor | ❌ ⠀| no-new-symbol | ❌ ⠀| no-new-native-constructor | ❌
