About this project

NodeSand is a place to run a quick Node.js script without building a project around it. One command creates the sandbox, and what would otherwise be a folder of scratch files with a hand-written manifest is ready to run.

A script can be run once, or watched and re-run on every save. Execution time is reported when it finishes, which answers most benchmark questions without a benchmarking library, and a static file server is there for the times an experiment needs a page to load. TypeScript, ESLint and Prettier are configured, so a throwaway script still gets the checks a real one would.

It is deliberately small: a sandbox for testing an idea, measuring two approaches against each other or reproducing a bug, and not a framework to build an application on.
