10 GitHub Repositories You Should Know as a JavaScript Developer

As a developer, we all want to improve our programming skills. Today, I'll share not 5, not 7, but 10 GitHub repositories that can help you grow as a JavaScript developer!

Grab your favorite tea, and let's start to navigate these resources.

Node Best Practices

Node JS is one of the most used technologies in the industry. The repository below regroups an up-to-date list of best practices for you to follow.

Each best practice is supported with an example, and the repository is translated into +7 languages. You don't have any excuse for not checking it!

+81.7k ⭐ ️=> https://github.com/goldbergyoni/nodebestpractices

JavaScript Algorithms

I heard you need to implement an algorithm in JavaScript? This repository is for you.

It provides an extensive list of algorithms and data structures in JavaScript with explanations and examples. The content is classified by experience: B (beginners) and A (advanced).

+151k ⭐ ️=> https://github.com/trekhleb/javascript-algorithms

33 JS Concepts

The repository describes: "33 JavaScript concepts every developer should know". References, videos, articles, or books back these concepts.

+51.8k ⭐ ️=> https://github.com/leonardomso/33-js-concepts

You Don't Know JS (Yet)

I don't know if I still have to share about this repository. Can we call this article a JavaScript repository list without including it?

This repository is an initiative by Kyle Simpson (aka Getify), author of the "You Don't Know JS (Yet)" book series. These books dive deep into the core mechanisms of the JavaScript language.

The author shares the numeric version of these books in the repository for free.

Note: You can buy the books to support the author and have a paperback version.

+159k ⭐ ️=> https://github.com/getify/You-Dont-Know-JS

Clean Code JavaScript

The programming world has a famous book called "Clean Code". This repository is an adaption of these clean code concepts but for JavaScript.

The presentation is straightforward:

  • a practice (sometimes with a short description)

  • a bad example

  • a good example

+73k ⭐ ️=> https://github.com/ryanmcdermott/clean-code-javascript

Awesome NodeJS

This GitHub repository curates a list of tools, packages, tutorials, articles, videos, and even more for your next Node project.

All packages are categorized: logging, parsing, compression, etc. You should find the answer to most of your problems here!

+46.9k ⭐ ️=> https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome-nodejs

30 Days Of JavaScript

Do you want to learn JavaScript in "30" days? There you go!

This repository's concept guides you step-by-step in your JavaScript journey. Indeed, you'll have one notion per day for 30 days.

Each day, you'll have resources, exercises, and sometimes projects.

Note: As mentioned in the repository, even if the repository name is "30 days", it may take way more time. The key to learning successfully is to do it at your own pace.

+27.8k ⭐ => https://github.com/Asabeneh/30-Days-Of-JavaScript

Modern JS Cheatsheet

For this repository, here's the author's description:

"This document is a cheatsheet for JavaScript you will frequently encounter in modern projects and most contemporary sample code.This guide is not intended to teach you JavaScript from the ground up, but to help developers with basic knowledge who may struggle to get familiar with modern codebases (or let's say to learn React for instance) because of the JavaScript concepts used.Besides, I will sometimes provide personal tips that may be debatable but will take care to mention that it's a personal recommendation when I do so."

Definitely the kind of repository you can bookmark and refer to later when you feel the need.

+23.5k ⭐ => https://github.com/mbeaudru/modern-js-cheatsheet

JavaScript Testing Best Practices

An updated comprehensive list of best practices to write tests in JavaScript and Node JS.

Indeed, writing good tests is an essential skill for a developer. Thanks to this repository, I hope you'll find many tips about that topics and improve your testing strategy.

+19.1k ⭐ => https://github.com/goldbergyoni/javascript-testing-best-practices

ES6 Cheatsheet

Similarly to the modern JS cheatsheet presented earlier, here's a repository containing tips, tricks, best practices, and code snippets in JavaScript.

Feel free to bookmark it and refer to it when you need it.

+12.9k ⭐ => https://github.com/DrkSephy/es6-cheatsheet

Thanks for your message, @donghoon759!

I would love it if you could translate it into Korean; feel free to share the link once you're done with it 😊
As you mentioned, the only thing is, please don't forget to add the original source as a canonical link (to avoid the search engines penalties for duplicated content).
