Another thing I have been working on for a couple of months:
Ink 7
New hooks: usePaste, useWindowSize, useBoxMetrics, useAnimation
More props stuff for <Box>: maxWidth/maxHeight, aspectRatio, alignContent, position="static"
Alternative screen support, border background colors, hard text wrapping, and lots of fixes for CJK

Ink lets you build CLIs with React
It has everything you will need:
- Retries
- Timeouts
- HTTP error throwing (non-2xx)
- Base URL (resolve relative URLs against a base)
- Default headers
- Auto token refresh on 401
- Client-side rate limiting
- Concurrency limiting
- Request deduplication
- In-memory caching
- Before/after request hooks
- Auto JSON body stringify
- Default search parameters
- Download/upload progress tracking
- Pagination
Build your own HTTP client with fetch-extras
Take only what you need. Tree-shakeable.
Built on Fetch. Works in the browser, Node.js, etc.
```js
// baseUrl
ky('users', {baseUrl: '/api/'})
//→ /api/users
ky('/users', {baseUrl: '/api/'})
//→ /users (leading slash = origin-root)
// prefix
ky('users', {prefix: '/api'})
//→ /api/users
ky('/users', {prefix: '/api'})
//→ /api/users (leading slash ignored)
```
baseUrl vs prefix
`baseUrl` uses standard URL resolution: `/users` means origin-root, `users` means relative to the base path.
`prefix` does simple string joining first, so `/users` and `users` both append to the prefix the same way. Use it only when you want that behavior.
For the past two months I have been working hard on Ky 2 and now it's finally out.
All bugs fixed. All GitHub issues resolved. Cleaner API, stricter behavior, fewer footguns.
New `baseUrl` option fixes URL handling, `searchParams` option now merges, retries are now more precise by distinguishing failure types, built-in JSON schema validation.
Ky is a tiny JS HTTP client built on top of the built-in Fetch.
Tired of wasting gigabytes of Time Machine storage to node_modules folders?
Time Machine supports setting a sticky extended attribute on folders to exclude them from backups.
It works great, and I believe NPM should support it.
I opened an NPM RFC and would love your comments on it: https://github.com/npm/rfcs/pull/857/changes
In the mean time, you can easily set the bit w/ a command like:
xattr -w com.apple.metadata:com_apple_backup_excludeItem com.apple.backupd /path/to/node_modules/
Let’s do this!
