启动2018年前端工具调查 (Launching the Front-End Tooling Survey 2018)

The Front-End Tooling Survey is back to gather input and shed some light on the tooling habits across the web development industry.

前端工具调查回来了，以收集信息并阐明整个Web开发行业中的工具习惯。

TL;DR: Take part in this year’s survey.

TL; DR ：参加今年的调查。

有点背景 (A bit of background)

18 months ago, 5,254 developers took part in the 2016 Front-End Tooling Survey with the results showing some interesting changes in the tools that we were using.

18个月前，有5254位开发人员参加了2016年前端工具调查，结果显示我们正在使用的工具发生了一些有趣的变化。

Back then, React knowledge across the industry had rocketed, while Sass was still by far the most popular CSS preprocessor. Meanwhile, tools like Vue.js, Jest, and PostCSS were starting to see growing adoption over the previous 12 months.

那时，整个行业的React知识已经激增，而Sass仍然是迄今为止最受欢迎CSS预处理器。同时，在过去的12个月中，诸如Vue.js，Jest和PostCSS之类的工具开始被采用。

But how have things changed (or not) since then? What tools are we using right now, and how does that compare with the results from 2016? Are there any new tools emerging that would be useful to keep an eye on?

但是从那以后事情如何变化(或没有变化)？我们目前正在使用哪些工具，与2016年的结果相比如何？是否有任何新工具可以引起关注？

我们的工具习惯改变了吗？ (Have our tooling habits changed?)

When the survey was last run in 2016, a number of interesting results were observed in comparison to the results from 2015.

上次调查于2016年进行时，与2015年的结果相比，观察到了许多有趣的结果。

When asked “Which JavaScript libraries and/or frameworks do you currently use most frequently on projects?”, React gained more responses (36.91%) than AngularJS (named Angular 1 in the survey for clarity) and Angular 2 combined (33.57%). This was a noticeable shift from 2015 when AngularJS received more than double the number of responses in comparison to React.

当被问到“您目前在项目中最常使用哪个JavaScript库和/或框架？”时，React获得的响应(36.91％)比AngularJS(为清楚起见在调查中称为Angular 1)和Angular 2的总和(33.57％)多。与2015年相比，这是一个明显的转变，当时AngularJS收到的响应数量是React的两倍多。

When looking at the results across both libraries and frameworks, jQuery was clearly still very popular with 70.25% of developers saying that they used it frequently on their projects. jQuery also came out on top when respondents were asked to name the JavaScript library or framework that they considered most essential to them, with 32.11% of the responses.

在跨库和跨框架查看结果时，jQuery仍然很受欢迎，有70.25％的开发人员表示他们在项目中经常使用它。当要求受访者命名他们认为对他们最重要JavaScript库或框架时，jQuery也名列前茅，占32.11％。

In the CSS tooling landscape, things were more consistent year-to-year, with Sass still clearly the most popular preprocessor. Looking deeper at the results, however, there were small gains in popularity for tools such as PostCSS and for CSS-in-JS techniques such as CSS modules. Will these tools have kicked on and gained more traction in the industry?

在CSS工具领域，情况逐年保持一致，显然Sass仍然是最受欢迎的预处理器。然而，更深入地研究结果，诸如PostCSS之类的工具和诸如CSS模块之类CSS-in-JS技术的普及程度却很小。这些工具会在行业中发挥作用并获得更大的吸引力吗？

In other areas of the tooling landscape, there were also clear front-runners, with Webpack, ESLint, and Mocha leading the way when it came to JavaScript module bundling, linting, and testing respectively.

在工具领域的其他领域，也有明显的领先者，其中Webpack，ESLint和Mocha分别在JavaScript模块捆绑，插入和测试方面处于领先地位。

It’ll be fascinating to see how the usage levels of all of these tools has changed 18 months on.

令人惊奇的是，所有这些工具的使用水平在18个月后都发生了变化。

什么是新的？ (What’s new?)

Based on feedback, I’ve added questions on CSS frameworks and JavaScript Type to check which tools are on top of the pile in those areas.

根据反馈，我添加了有关CSS框架和JavaScript类型的问题，以检查哪些工具在这些领域中排在前列。

Also new in this year’s survey is a question aimed at learning knowledge levels around some of the newest CSS techniques being used, such as CSS Grid and Custom Properties.

今年的调查中的另一个新问题是，旨在学习有关所使用的一些最新CSS技术的知识水平，例如CSS网格和自定义属性。

Apart from that, the survey has been kept as concise as usual — so the familiar questions have been tweaked to include any new tools that are becoming more popular with developers.

除此之外，该调查一如既往地简洁明了-因此对熟悉的问题进行了调整，以包括任何在开发人员中越来越受欢迎的新工具。

参与！ (Take part!)

As with previous years, the survey should only take a few minutes to fill in, and I really do appreciate every response. Simply put, the more responses the survey receives, the more representative the results will be.

与往年一样，该调查只需几分钟即可填写，我非常感谢您的每一次答复。简而言之，调查收到的答复越多，结果将越具有代表性。

The survey will close at the end of March, after which I’ll write up the results and analysis as a series of articles. If you’d like to know when this happens, follow me on Twitter or you can leave your email at the end of the survey to receive information once this has been published.

这项调查将于3月底结束，之后，我将通过一系列文章来撰写调查结果和分析。如果您想知道这种情况何时发生，请在Twitter上关注我，或者您可以在调查结束时留下您的电子邮件，以在信息发布后接收信息。

So what are you waiting for? Go ahead and fill in the survey now!

那你还在等什么？继续填写调查表吧！
