This really makes me want to get back into front-end work (my true passion). I've been wallowing in back-end Hades for months now. I wanna see my work in the browser!

Thanks for a great compilation.

I can't thank this list enough. And I'm supposedly the tooling guy at my office. Where did you get all this? And how do you keep updated with these tools?

Hi Bartmr, your welcome!

Some of these tools were bookmarked and has consistently been useful. Some of them were notes taken down as I browse through the web so that I can come back later to check them out for myself. But I don't just use any note taking program. I use a fast one like Boostnote (Which I contributed a couple features to because their open source community is delightful :)) that supports modern techniques like Duplicating Lines, Save to Google Drive, React/JSX Syntax Highlighting, Switch to Preview, Bring in web page title when pasting URL, etc. This is huge because it makes it fun for me to write things down. When I have fun, I'm constantly writing things down. This reminds me, I should have mentioned Boostnote in there. Teheh.

I just checked out Boostnote, and I think it's really awesome! It feels a lot like a similar tool called Notable.

Glad you checked it out! Would you choose Boostnote over Notable?

Personally, I still haven't decided xD. Right now, it feels like they have different use-cases. Though, for someone looking for a note-taking packed full of features I'd say Boostnote is the way to go! I used to use Notable for taking notes in my CS classes, but now I'm gunna switch to Boostnote for a bit to see how it is :-) Thanks again for the reccomendation!

I use Boostnote everyday and I must say that is it a great app! I love markdown syntax and I searched a long time for something similar :D
I just miss the mobile app... I will probably give free time to develop something later haha

I find the bit about react-testing-library confusing, could you explain that a bit more?

Collapse

jsmanifest • Edited

Hi Daniel,

The way react-testing-library works is that you query for actual DOM nodes. You query the DOM in the same way the user would see in their screen. For example some of the ways you select a DOM node is by label text, element text, the native document.querySelector api, element id, etc. A popular alternative before react-testing-library was introduced into the scene was Enzyme. But enzyme worked with instances of rendered React components. Working with instances is closer to implementation details as opposed to working with actual DOM nodes.
