This book collects some useful, unknown, underrated JavaScript functions discovered and learned while using JavaScript daily.
Welcome to Some drops of JavaScript
The reason why
This book collects some useful, unknown, underrated JavaScript functions or stuff discovered, used, and learned during JavaScript daily use.
Using JavaScript frameworks/libraries daily (like React, Vue, Angular), sometimes the perception of the power of the language and the basic functionalities provided by the JavaScript core could be lost I see that usually, I used to look at the framework documentation or look for a package in Npm for the system, array, and string functions instead of using core functionalities provided by the language.
While I wrote this HTML-book, I also wrote some scripts to better understand the behavior of the functions. You can find these examples here: https://github.com/roberto-butti/some-drops-of-javascript in the examples directory.
We are excited to invite you to join our Hacktoberfest celebration by contributing to the open-source book project. More info here

Let's talk about the project
Okay, this project is a simple book that collects some useful, unknown, underrated JavaScript functions.
But the technology behind this?
Ehehehe this project was build in Astro! 🚀
What is Astro?
Simply, Astro is a new frontend framework based on "No JavaScript" philosophy.

How did I contribute? 🤔
Step by step I will tell the process that led me to contribute:
- I have opened the issues section
- I liked this issue
- I worked on it 😎
Simply, fast and clean 🤣
I did nothing but add a section to the book that talked about the copyWithin() method of an array in JavaScript.
Okay it wasn't exactly that fast and clean.
I worked on the issue and opened a Pull Request thinking it was fine as it was.
It was revised and sent back to me because it needed more examples and details.
All true, the copyWithin() method needed more attention to details.
From here I realized that YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE IN A HURRY, but take time to think and create complete PR.
Conclusion
First contribution of the four of the Hacktoberfest, I am very happy and I hope to continue like this.
Don't be afraid to contribute to Open Source, you will see that you will learn a lot.
Happy coding!✨
