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 🙏

@dittowords/cli

v5.2.0

Published

Command Line Interface for Ditto (dittowords.com).

Readme

Ditto CLI

The Ditto CLI enables developers to access the Ditto API directly from the command line. You can use the CLI to import Ditto data directly into your own codebase.

The CLI is configured to fetch text from the latest version of Ditto by default. However, all legacy features are still fully supported by passing a --legacy flag along with the legacy CLI command. See Legacy Setup for details on using the CLI with older Ditto projects and components.

NPM version

Documentation

Support

Installation

npm install --save-dev @dittowords/cli

It's recommended to install the CLI as a development dependency to ensure your whole team is on the same version.

Authentication

The first time you run the CLI, you’ll be asked to provide an API key. You can generate an API key from your developer integrations settings.

See the Authentication page for more information on API keys.

Configuration

By default, the CLI operates against a ditto/ folder relative to the current working directory.

The first time you run the CLI, a ditto/ folder will be created if it doesn't already exist. The folder will also be populated with a default config.yml file, which is used to control the CLI's behavior.

The default file looks like this:

projects: []
variants: []
statuses: []
components:
  folders: []
outputs:
	- format: json
		framework: i18next

For more information on configuring the CLI, see this documentation section.

Usage

npx @dittowords/cli pull

Run the CLI to pull string data from Ditto and write it to disk.

String files are written to the specified folder in a format that corresponds to your configuration. After integrating these files into development, you can execute the CLI at any time to fetch the latest strings from Ditto and update them in your application.

For more information on how files are written to disk, see this documentation section.

See our demo projects for examples of how to integrate the Ditto CLI in different environments:

Legacy Setup

Beginning with v5.0.0, the Ditto CLI points at the new Ditto experience by default. To run the CLI compatible with legacy Ditto, append the --legacy flag to any legacy command, and the CLI will work as it did in the 4.x version. All existing legacy commands remain fully functional at this time.
