New in Chrome 102: PWAs as File Handlers, inert, the navigation API, and more!
Chrome 102 is rolling out now! Installed PWAs can register as file handlers, making it easy for users to open files directly from disk. The inert attribute allows you to mark parts of the DOM as inert. The navigation API makes it easier for single-page apps to handle navigation and updates to the URL.
Lerna 5 Walkthrough
A quick walkthrough of the latest release of Lerna 5 on an example repository with a Remix application and a couple of libraries. We’re going to see how to set up Lerna, make tasks running in Lerna extremely fast (powered by Nx), and how to publish packages to an npm registry.
Why Vitest Is Better Than Jest
Vitest is a simple testing library built on top of Vite which takes everything I love about Jest and brings it to the modern age of JavaScript. Everyone that has worked with Jest knows how much of a pain it is to work with ES modules, but Vitest makes it trivial. Vitest also adds many additional features and quality of life changes that make it better than Jest in my opinion.
