Development Artifact Cleanup: ✅ BROTHER_NODE REORGANIZATION: Moved development test node to appropriate location - dev/test-nodes/brother_node/: Moved from root directory for better organization - Contains development configuration, test logs, and test chain data - No impact on production systems - purely development/testing artifact ✅ DEVELOPMENT ARTIFACTS IDENTIFIED: - Chain ID: aitbc-brother-chain (test/development chain) - Ports: 8010 (P2P) and 8011 (RPC) - different from production - Environment: .env file with test configuration - Logs: rpc.log and node.log from development testing session (March 15, 2026) ✅ ROOT DIRECTORY CLEANUP: Removed development clutter from production directory - brother_node/ moved to dev/test-nodes/brother_node/ - Root directory now contains only production-ready components - Development artifacts properly organized in dev/ subdirectory DIRECTORY STRUCTURE IMPROVEMENT: 📁 dev/test-nodes/: Development and testing node configurations 🏗️ Root Directory: Clean production structure with only essential components 🧪 Development Isolation: Test environments separated from production BENEFITS: ✅ Clean Production Directory: No development artifacts in root ✅ Better Organization: Development nodes grouped in dev/ subdirectory ✅ Clear Separation: Production vs development environments clearly distinguished ✅ Maintainability: Easier to identify and manage development components RESULT: Successfully moved brother_node development artifact to dev/test-nodes/ subdirectory, cleaning up the root directory while preserving development testing environment for future use.
tslib
This is a runtime library for TypeScript that contains all of the TypeScript helper functions.
This library is primarily used by the --importHelpers flag in TypeScript.
When using --importHelpers, a module that uses helper functions like __extends and __assign in the following emitted file:
var __assign = (this && this.__assign) || Object.assign || function(t) {
for (var s, i = 1, n = arguments.length; i < n; i++) {
s = arguments[i];
for (var p in s) if (Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call(s, p))
t[p] = s[p];
}
return t;
};
exports.x = {};
exports.y = __assign({}, exports.x);
will instead be emitted as something like the following:
var tslib_1 = require("tslib");
exports.x = {};
exports.y = tslib_1.__assign({}, exports.x);
Because this can avoid duplicate declarations of things like __extends, __assign, etc., this means delivering users smaller files on average, as well as less runtime overhead.
For optimized bundles with TypeScript, you should absolutely consider using tslib and --importHelpers.
Installing
For the latest stable version, run:
npm
# TypeScript 3.9.2 or later
npm install tslib
# TypeScript 3.8.4 or earlier
npm install tslib@^1
# TypeScript 2.3.2 or earlier
npm install tslib@1.6.1
yarn
# TypeScript 3.9.2 or later
yarn add tslib
# TypeScript 3.8.4 or earlier
yarn add tslib@^1
# TypeScript 2.3.2 or earlier
yarn add tslib@1.6.1
bower
# TypeScript 3.9.2 or later
bower install tslib
# TypeScript 3.8.4 or earlier
bower install tslib@^1
# TypeScript 2.3.2 or earlier
bower install tslib@1.6.1
JSPM
# TypeScript 3.9.2 or later
jspm install tslib
# TypeScript 3.8.4 or earlier
jspm install tslib@^1
# TypeScript 2.3.2 or earlier
jspm install tslib@1.6.1
Usage
Set the importHelpers compiler option on the command line:
tsc --importHelpers file.ts
or in your tsconfig.json:
{
"compilerOptions": {
"importHelpers": true
}
}
For bower and JSPM users
You will need to add a paths mapping for tslib, e.g. For Bower users:
{
"compilerOptions": {
"module": "amd",
"importHelpers": true,
"baseUrl": "./",
"paths": {
"tslib" : ["bower_components/tslib/tslib.d.ts"]
}
}
}
For JSPM users:
{
"compilerOptions": {
"module": "system",
"importHelpers": true,
"baseUrl": "./",
"paths": {
"tslib" : ["jspm_packages/npm/tslib@2.x.y/tslib.d.ts"]
}
}
}
Deployment
- Choose your new version number
- Set it in
package.jsonandbower.json - Create a tag:
git tag [version] - Push the tag:
git push --tags - Create a release in GitHub
- Run the publish to npm workflow
Done.
