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 🙏

Automatically start your server once Webpack's build completes + handle hot reloading (HMR)

Installation

$ npm install --save-dev start-server-webpack-plugin

Usage

In webpack.config.server.babel.js:

import StartServerPlugin from "start-server-webpack-plugin";

export default {
  ...
  plugins: [
    ...
    // Only use this in DEVELOPMENT
    new StartServerPlugin({
      // print server logs
      verbose: true,
      // print plugin/server errors
      debug: false,
      // name of the entry to run, defaults to 'main'
      entryName: 'server',
      // any arguments to nodejs when running the entry, this one allows debugging
      nodeArgs: ['--inspect-brk'],
      // any arguments to pass to the script
      scriptArgs: ['scriptArgument1', 'scriptArgument2'],
      // Allow typing 'rs' to restart the server. default: only if NODE_ENV is 'development'
      restartable: true | false,
      // Only run the server once (default: false)
      once: false | true,
    }),
    ...
  ],
  ...
}

The entryName argument defaults to "main", which is the name Webpack uses if you use the string or array versions of the entry option.

You can use nodeArgs and args to pass arguments to node and your script, respectively. For example, you can use this to use the node debugger.

To use Hot Module Reloading with your server code, set Webpack to "hot" and "watch" modes. This plugin appends some code to the end of the entry so that it can handle HMR and restarts; no need to add any of the webpack/hot modules.

Upgrading from v2

  • Remove the name option and define entryName if it's not just "main"
  • Remove any hot reloading additions
