A Simpler JavaScript Rule Set for Bazel

Please log in to watch this conference skillscast.

The maintainers of bazelbuild/rulesnodejs have gone back to the drawing board. We studied RushJS and the package manager it uses, pnpm, and found this is a much better fit under Bazel. And we learned from our workaround for some node tools required running Bazel actions inside the output tree. We present aspectrulesjs, a new Bazel ruleset that replaces most of rulesnodejs with a radically simpler and more node-idiomatic way to fetch minimal npm packages and lay them out for runtime resolution.
