So where are the toolings for refactoring then? Article doesn't mention a single one.
- ericelliott 11y agoThe JS ecosystem has largely embraced small modules and microarchitectures over monolithic code, which pretty well sidesteps the need for cross-project refactoring tools that are popular with Java and C++. If you have a refactoring problem, I suspect it's a symptom of a monolithic architecture problem. Solve that, instead. =)
- peeters 11y agoSo to answer the OP's question, we're not confused, and JS still sucks for refactoring? (as I have to maintain a big monolothic client-side JS app, and good tools for refactoring would be most welcome)
- romanovcode 11y ago>monolithic architecture problem. Having monolith is not a problem. In many cases having it makes perfect sense. Making everything micro-services because it's hot nowadays - that's a problem though.
