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 🙏

Readme

@putout/plugin-remove-useless-spread NPM version

Spread syntax can be used when all elements from an object or array need to be included in a list of some kind.

(c) MDN

🐊Putout plugin adds ability to remove useless spread syntax.

Install

npm i @putout/plugin-remove-useless-spread

Rule

{
    "rules": {
        "remove-useless-spread/array": "on",
        "remove-useless-spread/object": "on",
        "remove-useless-spread/nested": "on"
    }
}

array

The thing is [...b] can be used for:

  • copying an array;
  • converting different value type like string to an array.

So better to be more concrete and use slice for copying and Array()/Array.from() for converting to decrease cognitive load. Also sometimes there is no need on any of this operations, and we can drop spread.

❌ Example of incorrect code

for (const a of [...b]) {}

const places = [...getPlaces()];

✅ Example of correct code

for (const a of b) {}

const places = getPlaces();

// Array constructor creates sparse array
[...Array(5)].map(Number);

object

❌ Example of incorrect code

const a = {
    ...fn(),
};

✅ Example of correct code

const a = fn();

nested

Checkout in 🐊Putout Editor.

❌ Example of incorrect code

[
    ...[
        ...a,
        ...b,
    ],
    ...x,
];

✅ Example of correct code

[
    ...a,
    ...b,
    ...x,
];
