A curated awesome-list of guides and resources showing when popular JavaScript libraries and tools (Lodash, Moment.js, Redux, jQuery, etc.) can be replaced with native browser APIs or simpler alternatives. It is a documentation/education repository, not runnable software.
Use cases
- find native alternatives to lodash methods
- decide whether I need moment.js for date handling
- learn when redux is overkill for a react app
- replace axios with the fetch api
- do things in css instead of javascript
- avoid unnecessary transpilation of javascript
When to choose
- you want curated links on avoiding heavy dependencies in JavaScript projects
- you are evaluating whether a popular library is necessary for your use case
When to avoid
- you need runnable code or a tool rather than a link collection
- you need up-to-date guidance, as the list has not been updated since 2021
