My NPM package is being used by Amazon AWS SDK
So this is pretty cool...
I woke up to figuring out that Amazon AWS Chime's SDK is using my NPM package 😎
I just wanted to share that - super excited about it!
You can use it too - it has helped me quite a lot in terms of mocking/faking. I think it has a quite clean way of doing things.

Hi Mathias, and congratulations! Sounds like AWS agrees that your package has a clean way of doing things.
Two questions, if you don't mind:
How did you figure out that Chime's SDK depends on your package?
How have you grown the community around your package (3k weekly downloads on NPM)?
Thank you!
GitHub has an "Insights" page where you can see dependent packages and projects, where I (by chance) stumbled upon AWS on the list: https://github.com/ffMathy/FluffySpoon.JavaScript.Testing.Faking/network/dependencies
I started programming when I was around 12. I have since worked on more than 300+ projects and libraries. I share most of it as open-source and contribute to a lot of other projects, so that must be how it got attention. If you try 300+ times, I guess you hit jackpot once in a while. I don't do it for profit, I do it because programming is my main hobby, and because I can't stop doing it - I think that factor is important too. It's the best source of motivation.
Good. Congratulations!!
Thank you! ❤
Congrats man, your story is exactly as mine, started very young, but I'm not so interested in creating libraries. But pretty dope that AWS uses your package.
I appreciate the response. As someone who uses open-source all the time, I'm super grateful to all the folks, like yourself, that contribute and ask for nothing in return. Glad to hear that it's paying you back full-circle.

Neat! I checked your github / read your Medium article and your library looks awesome, man. I'll definitely try it out, since it'll help me get rid of a bunch of boilerplate code. My favorite parts were the "mimicks()" and the interface mocking. Great idea and props on AWS using it!
Thank you very much! If you are a JavaScript dev, I can also recommend my IOC/DI framework for TypeScript.
Yeah, I haven't done any C# in the last couple of years, mostly python these days for the backend. BTW, I just checked IOC/DI, looks pretty cool too. Just wondering how would I mock the injection with your testing library? An example would be cool. Keep up the great work!!
Simply register the fakes into the IOC container - that's how you typically do such things.
Alternatively use: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@fluffy-spoon/autofake
Awesome, thanks for the follow-up! :)
Really cool! Tillykke 😁
Mange tak 😉
Your product looks really cool by the way! I'll definitely check it out soon!
Thanks a lot 😊
