JavaScript

The js repository implements the curriculum in JavaScript.

Summary

Property Value
Repository dialectic-playground/js
Status Active: Project 00 implemented
File extension .js
Release line Node.js 24 (LTS)
Build / package tool npm
Curriculum Submodule pinned to v1.5.0
Brand accent #F1E05A, glyph js; GitHub Linguist #F1E05A

Language characteristics

Aspect JavaScript
CLI classification Included
Image category First-Class
Access to OS primitives High (via V8 Node.js runtime wrappers)
Entry-point mechanism Host binary consumes kernel flags first; residual args go to process.argv

Toolchain

Environment Toolchain
Container node:24-trixie-slim, pinned by digest in Containerfile, plus make and python3
Native CI actions/setup-node (24)

make toolchain verifies both environments. It checks that every tool is on the release line above.

Project tooling

What each project's Makefile hooks run. Versions are the ones pinned in the repository (lockfile, Containerfile, or CI).

Purpose Tool
Unit tests node:test (node --test, built in)
Lint ESLint 10.12.0 (flat config, --max-warnings 0) and prettier --check
Format Prettier 3.9.10
Dependencies One npm package per project; exact development dependency versions in the committed package-lock.json, installed with npm ci
Build output (BIN_DIR) src/bin/: an extensionless #!/usr/bin/env node launcher
Install Copies the program to $(LIBDIR)/js/<project>/ and writes a #!/bin/sh launcher to $(BINDIR)

Implemented projects

A project is implemented once it is listed in IMPLEMENTED in the repository's root Makefile. CI then builds, lints, and tests it in the container and natively on Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Notes

  • NFR-02 (CONV-31): peak memory (about 47 MiB) is the Node.js 24 runtime's own baseline (node -e 0, about 47–49 MiB), so it is measured above that baseline.
