Advanced tools
This is a npm library for learning how to use make npm packages.
$ npm install --save npm-sandbox
Try it out with a test app:
// $ node test.js
const { setFn, triggerFn } = require('npm-sandbox')
console.log('Before function mutation: ', triggerFn('First attempt'))
setFn((str) => {
return str.toUpperCase()
})
console.log('After function mutation', triggerFn('Whats up Doc'))
It should output:
