Socket’s threat research team has detected six malicious npm packages typosquatting popular libraries to insert SSH backdoors.
A library provides container for resolving async functions later.
import { createCrate } from "funcrate";
const crate = createCrate();
// async function in crate can be invoked immediately
crate.add(1, 2).then(console.log); // → 3 (shown after crate registered)
// entity in crate can registered later
const asyncFunctions = {
async add(a, b) {
await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 100));
return a + b;
}
};
crate.register(asyncFunctions);
