{"library":"chainsaw","type":"library","category":null,"description":"chainsaw by Substack is a Node.js module designed to simplify the creation of chainable fluent interfaces in JavaScript. Released as version `0.1.0` in 2011, it provides a meta-module for authors to define methods that progress a workflow using `saw.next()` for sequential steps and `saw.nest()` for nested operations. This allows developers to build highly readable, method-chained APIs for complex asynchronous flows. The library operates in two modes: \"full mode,\" which records every action enabling features like `jump()`, `trap()`, and `down()` for replaying or manipulating the chain; and a more performant \"light mode\" (accessed via `Chainsaw.light()`) where actions are not recorded, conserving memory for long-lived chains. `chainsaw` includes `traverse` as a dependency for object manipulation. This package is specifically for Node.js fluent interface construction and should not be confused with the Kubernetes testing tool or the Windows forensic analysis tool that share the same name. Given its last release date over a decade ago, the package is effectively abandoned, with no ongoing development or official support, which could pose compatibility challenges with modern Node.js environments.","language":"javascript","status":"abandoned","version":"0.1.0","tags":["javascript","chain","fluent","interface","monad","monadic"],"last_verified":"Wed May 27","install":[{"cmd":"npm install chainsaw","imports":["const Chainsaw = require('chainsaw');","const LightChainsaw = Chainsaw.light(function (saw) { /* ... */ });"]},{"cmd":"yarn add chainsaw","imports":[]},{"cmd":"pnpm add chainsaw","imports":[]}],"homepage":null,"github":"https://github.com/substack/node-chainsaw","docs":null,"changelog":null,"pypi":null,"npm":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/chainsaw","openapi_spec":null,"status_page":null,"smithery":null,"compatibility":{"summary":{"python_range":"18–22","success_rate":0,"avg_install_s":null,"avg_import_s":null,"wheel_type":null},"url":"https://checklist.day/v1/registry/chainsaw/compatibility"}}
