2025 Report: Destructive Malware in Open Source Packages
Destructive malware is rising across open source registries, using delays and kill switches to wipe code, break builds, and disrupt CI/CD.
this package is meant mostly for myself.
[API]https://paka.dev/npm/pastable@2.0.13/api
pnpm i pastable
With 1 main & 5 specific entrypoints:
"pastable": re-exports everything from utils+typings"pastable/utils""pastable/react""pastable/typings""pastable/machines""pastable/server" everything that's commonly used server-side (= no browser APIs + no vendors like react/xstate)import { useSelection } from "pastable";
// or
import { useSelection } from "pastable/react";
In every project I've been a part of, I've always ended up copy/pasting some part of a previous project that I had made generic, and moving from one project to another I just kept pasting it over and over.
So here we are, I made yet another multi-purpose-utils package !
It aims to be as generic as possible so that either the source can litteraly be pasted if you just need a couple of functions or you can install any specific package at some point.
100% written in Typescript, near 100% code coverage as a constant goal.
Feel free to contribute if you think there is space for one of your previous projects gems.
Packages are built with https://preconstruct.tools/ & tested with https://vitest.dev/, special thanks to their authors for those priceless gems !
@ alias to simplify the publish process, replaced uvu by vitestFAQs
📦 A collection of pastable code gathered from past projects
We found that pastable demonstrated a not healthy version release cadence and project activity because the last version was released a year ago. It has 1 open source maintainer collaborating on the project.
