Attackers Are Hunting High-Impact Node.js Maintainers in a Coordinated Social Engineering Campaign
Multiple high-impact npm maintainers confirm they have been targeted in the same social engineering campaign that compromised Axios.
U is a JavaScript bundler, transpiler, linter, formatter, dev server, and test framework. It combines several open-source tools into a single dependency that's both opinionated and configurable.
I made this so I can set up projects easier without having to maintain multiple dependencies and configurations for each project.
npm install u-scripts --save-dev
U comes with a set of default commands. You can make your own commands by defining a u.config.js file.
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
u build | Runs webpack with NODE_ENV set to production. |
u dev | Runs webpack-dev-server with NODE_ENV set to development. |
u lint | Runs eslint --fix, stylelint --fix, and prettier --write. |
u test | Runs eslint --fix, stylelint --fix, prettier --write, and jest. |
u test-ci | Runs eslint, stylelint, prettier --check, and jest --ci. |
You can also run scripts directly. Each script is run with preconfigured defaults, but they can be overridden by passing CLI options or defining a config for that script.
| Script | Description |
|---|---|
u babel | Runs babel. Customize with .babelrc.js. |
u eslint | Runs eslint. Customize with .eslintrc.js. |
u jest | Runs jest. Customize with jest.config.js. |
u nodemon | Runs nodemon. Customize with nodemon.json. |
u prettier | Runs prettier. Customize with prettier.config.js. |
u stylelint | Runs stylelint. Customize with stylelint.config.js. |
u webpack | Runs webpack. Customize with webpack.config.js. |
u webpack-dev-server | Runs webpack-dev-server. Customize with webpack.config.js. |
