# Welcome to Some drops of JavaScript
## The reason why
This book collects some useful, unknown, underrated JavaScript functions or stuff discovered, used, and learned during JavaScript daily use.
Using JavaScript frameworks/libraries daily (like React, Vue, Angular), sometimes the perception of the power of the language and the basic functionalities provided by the JavaScript core could be lost.
I see that usually, I used to look at the framework documentation or look for a package in Npm for the system, array, and string functions instead of using core functionalities provided by the language.
While I wrote this HTML-book, I also wrote some scripts to better understand the behavior of the functions. You can find these examples here: https://github.com/roberto-butti/some-drops-of-javascript in the _examples_ directory.
> We are excited to invite you to join our Hacktoberfest celebration by contributing to the open-source book project. More [info here](HACKTOBERFEST.md)
### Requirements
The code used in this book is tested with **Bun** and **NodeJs version 18 (LTS)**.
**Bun** is a JavaScript runtime, package manager, bundler and test runner built from scratch using the Zig programming language. It was designed by Jarred Sumner as a drop-in replacement for Node.js. Bun uses JavaScriptCore as the JavaScript engine, unlike Node.js and Deno, which both use V8. The official website is: https://bun.sh/ .
**Node.js** is an open-source, cross-platform JavaScript runtime environment, and you can obtain Node.js on the official https://nodejs.org/ website.
### Continuous release
I was thinking to print this book, but I think that is not so eco-friendly and a book about development could be improved daily in terms of spellchecking and the content and examples. So, I expect to adopt the same approach in the software with the CI/CD, with a continuous release of the book.
Releases:
- **W.I.P.** the 1.0.0 version is not yet released: writing... ;
> The book is **Work in Progress**, the list of the functions covered by the book at the moment are listed in [list-of-functions.md](list-of-functions.md) file
So, if you have any feedback, or you want to suggest some corrections, feel free to open an issue here: https://github.com/roberto-butti/some-drops-of-javascript/issues
