dua.js

A Node.js package for invoking divine blessings for one's Javascript code.

Dua?

Dua is the Hindi word for blessings/good wishes. More than the meaning, I like the sound of it; it's cute. It's a loanword from Arabic, where the word has a rather different meaning.

Why do I need this?

For your code to run successfully, of course! Do note that this doesn't mean dua WILL run your code, no matter how buggy it is; it just means a lot of good wishes and blessings are being directed towards your code. Ultimately, karma does count.

But doesn't this add to my dependencies?

Well...yes. But honestly, it's not a lot. Believe me, it's better than React's dependency list! And again, why not add an extra dependency that puts in a harmless, useful blessing here and there? Not gonna hurt!

Okay, fine. I'm convinced. How do I use it?

First, install it:

npm install --save dua.js

Next, you need to include dua in every single module. Every single module. Blessings don't work when you solicit them half-heartedly.

var dua = require('dua.js')

That's it! When you need a blessing before running a piece of code that's particularly troublesome:

var newDua = new dua()
console.log(newDua.message)
// 'Blessing ID #c3877741-28e3-447b-b701-418475801fab: Our blessings are with you.'
console.log(newDua.id)
// 'c3877741-28e3-447b-b701-418475801fab'
console.log(newDua.isCodeBlessed())
// true

Every blessing comes with a unique ID, and you can even go ahead and log all your blessings. Remember, accumulated blessings are a blessing!

I don't use Javascript..

Yeah, but blessings are universal. Ports for Python, Ruby, Go, Rust, Swift and F# are on their way :)
