Les résultats du sondage JavaScript https://2019.stateofjs.com/overview/

  • Représentation intéressante des technos sur les deux axes "connaissance" et "opinion positive/négative"
  • TypeScript a le vent en poupe
  • Angular est de moins en moins apprécié : énormément de réponses I've USED it before, and would NOT use it again
  • React (et Vue) sont de plus en plus utilisés
  • Svelte arrive en force aux côtés de React et Vue
  • GraphQL est de plus en plus utilisé et apprécié (notamment, avec Apollo comme client)
  • Par contre, plus Redux est utilisé, moins il est apprécié

Dotfiles Managers

Backup your customized configuration files (~/.bashrc, ~/.gitconfig...) and share them across the computers you use (home, work...).

yadm - Easy too use

  • https://yadm.io in Python
  • YADM = Yet Another Dotfiles Manager
  • Easy install/updgrade on Ubuntu/Debian apt install yadm and macOS brew install yadm
  • Add OpenSuse RPM repository for Fedora and other RPM-based distros: https://yadm.io/docs/install
  • But missing installation with pip install --user yadm
  • Enter subshell for Git commands: yadm enter (exit to return)
  • Support three template engines depending on file extension: awk, j2cli and envtpl
  • Simple to use:
    • Keep leading dot . (in filename)
    • What is changed in Git repo is applyied (even removal)

chezmoi - Filename prefixes as deployment operations

  • https://chezmoi.io in Go
  • Ubuntu/Debian/Fedora installations can rely on Snappy:
    sudo dnf install snapd                # provide "snap" command line
    sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap  # prevent error: classic confinement requires snaps under /snap 
    sudo snap install chezmoi --classic   # storage: 20 MB
    snap run chezmoi
    
  • Enter subshell for Git commands: chezmoi cd (exit to return)
  • Encode operations to apply during deployment as filename prefixes
  • Replace leading dot . by dot_
  • Require -r option to (recursively) add a configuration folder (silent failure even with -v) twpayne/chezmoi#668
  • Support template based on Go text/template (append *.tmpl)

dotdrop - Easy to hack (manual Git management)

  • https://deadc0de.re/dotdrop/ in Python
  • Disclamer: I do not have installed Dotdrop in the recommanded way, I do not use dotdrop.sh because I do not want to git submodule (I do not want to upgrade all installed software using git submodule update individually, I prefer a script doing pip install --upgrade for all installed user Python packages)
  • Easy install/upgrade anywhere with python3 -m pip install --user --upgrade dotdrop (I think I do not need dotdrop.sh)
  • Use default Dotdrop config.yaml location or provide it in another way: ( cd ~/dd; dotdrop import ~/.bashrc ) or alias dotdrop='dotdrop --cfg=~/dd/config.yaml or export DOTDROP_CONFIG=~/dd/config.yaml
  • Simple tool = Do not handle Git commands (manual repo management)
  • Dotdrop and Git use different command names: import/add, compare/diff...
  • Dotdrop drops dot: Archived filename without leading dot . if keepdot:false (default) in ~/.dd/config.yaml
  • Do not recover simple config.yaml errors: missing profiles: or empty hostname profile deadc0de6/dotdrop#221
  • Easy to hack beacause Git is not managed by dotdrop and because all other operations are clearly described in the config.yaml

Installation of dotdrop to be almost yadm-compatible

YADM repo looking is often a convention: respect of original path/filenames.

Two almost yadm-compatible installations are described here:

  1. Two Git repo (dotdrop repo + dotfiles sub repo)
  2. The dotfiles repo archives itself the ~/.config/dotdrop/config.yaml

Use same filename as YADM setting keepdot:true in ~/.config/dotdrop/config.yaml:

``yaml config: keepdot: true # same filename as YADM dotpath: dotfiles # set your dotfiles repo path/name backup: true banner: false create: true link_dotfile_default: nolink link_on_import: nolink longkey: false dotfiles: [...]


In order to have a dotfiles repo without `dotdrop` configuration and subfolder, use two repos:
* The `dotdrop` repo
* The `dotfiles` repo

Use `tree -a -I .git ~/.config/dotdrop/` to have a look on your dotfiles backup:

```php
$ tree -a -I .git ~/.config/dotdrop/
~/.config/dotdrop/
├── config.yaml     # above configuration file
├── .gitmodules     # main repo: ~/.config/dotdrop/ 
└── dotfiles        # Git submodule similar to YADM repo 
    ├── .gitconfig
    ├── .bashrc
    ├── .config
    │   └── htop
    │       └── htoprc
    └── .ssh
        └── config

In the second installation, no need of the main dotdrop repo because the ~/.config/dotdrop/config.yaml is archived within the dotfiles repo. After each dotdrop import, also perform:

dotdrop import ~/.config/dotdrop/config.yaml
cd ~/.config/dotdrop/dotfiles
git add .config/dotdrop/
git commit -m 'Update dotdrop config'
