ADVICE

Array Searching

  • Use findLast and findLastIndex to efficiently search arrays from the end.
  • Avoid reversing arrays which causes mutations.

JSON Modules

  • JSON modules enable direct JSON imports in JavaScript using import assertions.
  • This simplifies data import by eliminating the need for build-step loaders/plugins.
INSIGHT

Regex Modifiers
