Hypermod Codemods for e18e

Hypermod is proud to support the e18e community initiative by providing codemods that automate the cleanup and modernization of JavaScript dependencies. These codemods are based on the es-tooling/module-replacements-codemods repository, and we extend our gratitude to the authors for their foundational work.

What is e18e?

e18e (short for "ecosystem performance") is a community-driven initiative focused on enhancing the JavaScript ecosystem's performance. It aims to:

  • Cleanup: Remove redundant dependencies and replace them with modern alternatives.
  • Speedup: Improve the performance of widely used packages.
  • Levelup: Build modern alternatives to outdated packages.

The initiative brings together developers passionate about improving the ecosystem, providing a space for collaboration and knowledge sharing.

The Role of ES Tooling

ES Tooling is a community-led organization that supports the e18e initiative by developing tools to facilitate ecosystem improvements. One of its key projects is module-replacements-codemods, which provides automated codemods to replace outdated or unnecessary dependencies with modern alternatives.

These codemods are based on the module-replacements manifest, a curated list of popular npm packages and their possible replacements. By automating the replacement process, developers can more easily modernize their codebases and reduce technical debt.

Why Run These Codemods on Your Repository?

Running these codemods on your repository offers several benefits:

  • Reduce Technical Debt: Automatically replace outdated or redundant dependencies, leading to a cleaner and more maintainable codebase.
  • Improve Performance: Switch to more efficient alternatives, potentially enhancing your application's performance.
  • Stay Up-to-Date: Ensure your project uses actively maintained and modern packages.
  • Simplify Dependency Management: Reduce the complexity of your dependency tree, making it easier to manage and audit.

For example, a codemod for the is-even package would transform:

const isEven = require('is-even');
console.log(isEven(2));

into:

console.log(2 % 2 === 0);

This replacement removes the need for an external dependency by using native JavaScript functionality.
