5 efficient development tools not to be missed

Postman（https://www.postman.com/）
As front-end developers, we need to frequently query the API or interactive interface to debug whether the webpage can handle various HTTP requests correctly. The Postman plug-in acts as a "bridge" for this interactive method. It can send all kinds of data that simulates the user's HTTP request to the server, so that the developer can make the correct response in time, or deal with the error information before the product is released. , Thereby ensuring the stability and safety of the product after it goes online.

Hoppscotch（https://hoppscotch.io/cn）
Hoppscotch is an API client tool commonly used by developers. However, it runs slower on computers with lower configurations because it is an Electron application. As we all know, Electron applications are very slow, especially on machines with limited hardware configurations. Hoppscotch is an alternative to Postman. Hoppscotch is powerful, fast and open source.

Npkill（https://www.npmjs.com/package/npkill）
If you have done full-stack development, you will find that your front-end project folder size will be much larger. This is mainly due to the node module in your project directory. Node modules are very easy to overlook, especially their size. Over time, they will accumulate, making your project folder very large. Npkill is a command line tool that allows you to easily remove the old and cumbersome node module folder. By removing unnecessary node modules, you can free your system from chaos. In addition, this tool is very user-friendly. You can easily delete the module by using the up and down arrows and pressing the delete key. The team also mentioned that the reason why this tool is so fast is because the search function is implemented at a relatively low level.

Tin（https://www.teamcode.com/docs/tin/what-is-tin）
As a project manager, I often worry about technology selection, because I need to try out a large number of open source projects, which is very time-consuming and inefficient. Tin is a product in the TeamCode cloud development tool chain that can automatically build and quickly generate runnable applications. It supports a variety of application deployment methods: Docker Image, Docker Compose, Dockerfile, and source code provide the ability to provide Source to Service, automatically prepare the build environment, and quickly complete the deployment from source code to application, eliminating the need for cumbersome installation links. This greatly saves the time of technology selection and improves the efficiency of the entire R&D process.

Invision（https://www.invisionapp.com/）
Invison is a convenient product prototype generation tool and workflow control platform, which perfectly matches the collaboration between the front end and the designer. What it provides is not an accurate wireframe, but a rapid prototyping environment that can quickly connect your UX/UI sketches. The digital wireframe and high-fidelity design can help you test the working status of the app. At the same time, the tool also supports collaboration and sharing functions. The generated online prototype can support anyone to comment anywhere on the product prototype, facilitating accurate communication.
