Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

@asamarts/alint

npm install path for alint, a language-agnostic linter for repository structure, file existence, filename conventions, and file content rules.

This package downloads and wraps the platform-matched native alint binary at install time. The package itself ships no JavaScript runtime behaviour — it's a thin shim around the same release tarballs the install.sh and Homebrew paths consume. Same SHA-256 verification, same upstream artifacts.

Install

# project-local
npm install --save-dev @asamarts/alint
npx alint check

# global (puts `alint` on PATH)
npm install -g @asamarts/alint
alint check

The npm package version tracks alint releases exactly: npm install @asamarts/[email protected] downloads alint v0.5.11.

Supported platforms

| OS | Architectures | |---------|----------------------| | Linux | x64, arm64 (musl) | | macOS | x64, arm64 | | Windows | x64 |

For unsupported platforms, install via cargo install alint, Homebrew, or by downloading the tarball directly from GitHub Releases.

Skipping the postinstall download

Set ALINT_SKIP_INSTALL=1 before npm install. The shim will install without staging a binary, and alint invocations will print a clear "binary not found" error pointing at the missing step. Useful for CI systems that snapshot node_modules and don't want a network hop on every restore.

How it works

  1. package.json declares bin/alint.js as the npm-exposed bin.
  2. npm install runs install.js (postinstall):
    • Detects process.platform + process.arch.
    • Downloads https://github.com/asamarts/alint/releases/download/v<ver>/alint-v<ver>-<target>.tar.gz plus its .sha256 companion.
    • Verifies SHA-256.
    • Extracts the alint (or alint.exe) binary into bin-platform/.
  3. bin/alint.js is invoked when the user runs alint. It locates the staged binary and spawns it with the original argv.
