cleaner-node

Helpful utilities and scripts to make Node projects more legible and easier for the next developer to take over.

Background

There are several libraries out there designed to make life easier for developers (moment, lodash, underscore, etc.).  However, for the most part, the goals of those utilities are to add on to what Node and JavaScript bring to the table.  And, as Node and JavaScript mature, developers find them to be less of a neccessity and end up removing them.  While cleaner-node is also a helper package, and completely unnecessary, it's goal is to abstract some of the more redundant and verbose syntaxes.  The end result is a codebase that still functions as it would without cleaner-node but is easier to read and maintain. Unlike those other libraries, which shrink over time, I intend on growing cleaner-node for as long as Node exists so that I don't have to write the same code again, and again, and again, and again, and ag....
