# Modern JavaScript Patterns

Bring old JavaScript up to how the language works now

## What this does

You have JavaScript written in an older style and it is harder to read than it needs to be. This covers the modern features of the language - async/await, destructuring, modules, generators, functional patterns - and how to use them. Reach for it when refactoring old code or cleaning up something tangled.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Modernise legacy JavaScript
- Replace callback chains with async/await
- Tidy code with destructuring and spread

## Questions

### Is Modern JavaScript Patterns safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of Modern JavaScript Patterns and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit be57c0b2e3c0, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/modern-javascript-patterns.

### How do I install Modern JavaScript Patterns?

Open https://airmarket.ai/app/modern-javascript-patterns on Air Market and use the install action: Air Market hands Claude a prompt naming this exact skill, and Claude sets it up.
