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 🙏

@flowget/registry-loader

v0.1.0

Published

Shared registry loader for Flowget — parses REGISTRY_DIR specifiers, resolves npm subpaths and brace expansions, walks the on-disk node/decorator/decider layout, and projects catalog JSON into typed node metadata.

Readme

@flowget/registry-loader

The shared loader for the Flowget REGISTRY_DIR contract. It parses REGISTRY_DIR specifiers, resolves filesystem paths and npm subpaths, walks the on-disk node/decorator/decider layout, and projects catalog JSON into typed node metadata. The worker side imports executors; the web/builder side reads catalog metadata.

Install

npm i @flowget/registry-loader

Usage

Worker side — walk discovery records and import each executor:

import {
  parseRegistryEnv,
  expandBraces,
  resolveRegistrySpecifier,
  discoverRegistry,
} from "@flowget/registry-loader";

const entries = parseRegistryEnv(process.env.REGISTRY_DIR).flatMap(expandBraces);
const paths = entries.map((e) => resolveRegistrySpecifier(e));
const records = await discoverRegistry({ paths });

for (const record of records) {
  const mod = await import(record.executorPath);
  registerNode(record.name, mod.default);
}

Web side — project each <name>.json into typed NodeMetadata:

import { loadCatalogJson } from "@flowget/registry-loader";

const catalog = await Promise.all(
  records.map((r) => loadCatalogJson(r.jsonPath)),
);

REGISTRY_DIR is a comma-separated list. Each entry is a filesystem path, an npm package subpath (resolved through the package's exports field), or a brace expansion (<base>/nodes/{log,delay}). Duplicate node ids across entries fail loud with a RegistryScanError.

⚠️ 0.x is unstable

The surface is unstable until v1 — breaking changes ship as minor bumps. Pin exact versions in consumers ("@flowget/registry-loader": "0.1.0", not "^0.1.0").
