Just is a TypeScript-based task library for JavaScript projects, consisting of just-task (a lightweight task definition/orchestration library) and just-scripts (preset build flows for Node and browser projects using TypeScript, Webpack, and Jest). It is now in maintenance mode and not recommended for new projects.
Use cases
- define build tasks for a javascript project
- preset build flows for typescript web projects
- run parallel and series task orchestration
- build and test frontend projects with sensible defaults
- keep config files visible instead of hiding them like create-react-app
When to choose
- you maintain an existing project already using just-task or just-scripts
- you want lightweight gulp-style task orchestration with parallel() and series()
- you want visible, editable build configs with TypeScript-enabled build scripts
When to avoid
- starting a new project, since just is in maintenance mode
- large monorepos needing task dependency orchestration, where Lage is recommended
- you need a task runner with active development and community support
