Evil.js is a JavaScript prank library that, when imported into a project, subtly sabotages built-in behavior: Array.includes lies on certain array lengths, Array.map drops elements on Sundays, setTimeout runs a second late, JSON.stringify swaps characters, and more. It is intended as a joke 'parting gift' to leave in a project, not a legitimate utility.

Use cases

  • prank a coworker's codebase before leaving a job
  • demonstrate how supply-chain attacks can subtly break JavaScript apps
  • teach lessons about trusting third-party dependencies
  • add hidden misbehavior to a project as a joke

When to choose

  • you want a novelty prank library to inject subtle bugs into a JavaScript project
  • you need a real-world example of malicious dependency behavior for security training

When to avoid

  • any real, production, or team project - it deliberately corrupts runtime behavior
  • you need reliable standard library semantics
  • your organization has security or code-review policies, since this is effectively a trojan dependency
