The Story of NPM and Yarn

In the beginning there was NPM, and for a time it was good. Packages went forth and multiplied. The New Gods proclaimed the great demon Dependency Management had been slain. But The Old Gods knew better, for they had seen much and knew that the demon can never be killed, only held at bay.

The Old Gods were ignored. In the folly of a young age grew an abundance of packages and with them grew the scourge of dependency. In the depths beneath the earth, in a place beyond memory, the great demon stirred.

The first sign something was wrong was non-deterministic package version mismatches. “This is fine!” The New Gods declared. “A temporary setback, nothing more! We can fix it.” And so they introduced shrinkwrap, a lamp to combat the growing darkness.

But it proved to be too little, too late, and dusk continued to fall. The New Gods suffered their first major defeat at the [Battle of Left-pad](https://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/03/23/npm_left_

// ES6 meta programming ???

// The more complex form of ES6 template strings are called
// "tagged" template strings. In short, they allow you to
// pass the final evaluated string to a function for further
// processing. This allows for some interesting things. For example:
//
//    get`https://api.github.com/repos/${org}/${repo}/issues?sort=${sort}`;
//
// _could_ make a network request and return a Promise with the result

Effective transpiling of ES6

After publishing my article on ECMAScript 6, some have reached out to ask how I exactly I make it all work.

I refrained from including these details on the original post because they're subject to immiment obsoletion. These tools are changing and evolving quickly, and some of these instructions are likely to become outdated in the coming months or even weeks.

The main tool

When evaluating the available transpilers, I decided to use 6to5, which has recently been renamed to Babel. I chose it based on:

Auto-deploying built products to gh-pages with GitHub Actions

This is a set up for projects which want to check in only their source files, but have their gh-pages branch automatically updated with some compiled output every time they push.

A file below this one contains the steps for doing this with Travis CI. However, these days I recommend GitHub Actions, for the following reasons:

• It is much easier and requires less steps, because you are already authenticated with GitHub, so you don't need to share secret keys across services like you do when coordinate Travis CI and GitHub.
• It is free, with no quotas.
• Anecdotally, builds are much faster with GitHub Actions than with Travis CI, especially in terms of time spent waiting for a builder.
