What is tiny-warning?

The tiny-warning npm package is a utility for conditionally displaying warning messages in development environments. It is designed to be small and efficient, making it suitable for use in production code without significantly impacting the bundle size. The package is typically used to warn developers about potential issues or misuse of APIs without throwing actual errors in the console.

What are tiny-warning's main functionalities?

Conditional warnings

This feature allows developers to display warning messages conditionally based on a boolean expression. The warning will only be shown if the condition evaluates to true. This is useful for alerting developers of potential issues during development without affecting the production environment.

import warning from 'tiny-warning';

const isProduction = process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production';
const shouldWarn = !isProduction && someCondition;

warning(shouldWarn, 'This is a warning message that will only appear if someCondition is true and it is not a production build.');

Other packages similar to tiny-warning

warning

The 'warning' package is similar to 'tiny-warning' and serves the same purpose of logging warning messages to the console under certain conditions. It is slightly larger in size compared to 'tiny-warning' but offers a very similar API and functionality.

prop-types

While 'prop-types' is primarily used for type checking React component props, it also provides warning messages in development if the types do not match the expected types. It is different from 'tiny-warning' in that it is more specialized for React and includes type validation, but it shares the concept of development-only warnings.

invariant

The 'invariant' package is used to assert that a condition is met, and if not, it will throw an error in both development and production. It is different from 'tiny-warning' which only logs warnings and does not throw. 'Invariant' is more suitable for critical conditions that should halt execution if not met.
