Introducing Enhanced Alert Actions and Triage Functionality
Socket now supports four distinct alert actions instead of the previous two, and alert triaging allows users to override the actions taken for all individual alerts.
@swc/helpers
Advanced tools
Package description
The @swc/helpers package provides a set of helper functions designed to be used with the SWC compiler. These helpers are primarily used to polyfill or transform code in a way that makes newer JavaScript features compatible with older environments. This includes handling classes, async functions, spread operators, and more, ensuring that code utilizing modern JavaScript syntax can be transpiled for compatibility with environments that do not natively support these features.
Class handling
This feature allows for the transformation of ES6 classes into a format that can be understood by older JavaScript engines. The code sample demonstrates how a class with a method is transformed using the @swc/helpers package.
"use strict";
var _createClass = require("@swc/helpers/lib/_create_class.js").default;
var MyClass = /*#__PURE__*/function () {
function MyClass() {}
_createClass(MyClass, [{
key: "method",
value: function method() {}
}]);
return MyClass;
}();
Async/Await handling
This feature transforms async functions into generator functions with a regenerator runtime, making it possible to use async/await syntax in environments that do not support it natively. The code sample shows how an async function is transformed using @swc/helpers.
"use strict";
var _asyncToGenerator = require("@swc/helpers/lib/_async_to_generator.js").default;
function exampleFunction() {
return _asyncToGenerator(function* () {
var data = yield fetchData();
console.log(data);
})();
}
Spread operator handling
This feature provides a way to transform the spread operator in arrays and function calls into equivalent ES5 code. The code sample demonstrates how an array is concatenated with another array using the spread operator, transformed by @swc/helpers.
"use strict";
var _toConsumableArray = require("@swc/helpers/lib/_to_consumable_array.js").default;
var arr1 = [1, 2, 3];
var arr2 = [4, 5].concat(_toConsumableArray(arr1));
Similar to @swc/helpers, @babel/runtime provides a collection of helper functions and polyfills to support the transformation of modern JavaScript code into backwards-compatible versions. It is part of the Babel toolchain. While both packages serve similar purposes, @babel/runtime is typically used with Babel, whereas @swc/helpers is used with the SWC compiler.
Core-js is a modular standard library for JavaScript, providing polyfills for many new JavaScript features, including ECMAScript 2015+ features. Unlike @swc/helpers, which focuses on syntactic transformations, core-js focuses more on providing polyfills for new standard library features and built-ins. It can be used alongside transpilers like Babel or SWC to ensure full compatibility with older environments.
