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 🙏

Plugin for jsdoc2md with improved readability and GitHub Flavored Markdown compatibility.

This plugin borrows from dmd-readable and dmd-bitbucket with additional treatments. No HTML tags are generated within the markdown. Headers are simplified with no nested links. Content links to headers are generated with GitHub-style slugs. Reference-style links are used instead of being inline.

See the mock file for an example of a generated document.

Installation

Install it as a devDependency in target project:

$ npm install @godaddy/dmd --save-dev

Usage

Then pass the plugin name to jsdoc2md or dmd to generate docs:

$ jsdoc2md --plugin @godaddy/dmd --files lib/*.js

Formatting

Index Tables

This plugins prefers table for the index format. The description column uses the first paragraph or line break of the items description. This provides a more readable and concise table of contents. The full description will still be used in the body below. When authoring jsdocs, keep this in mind when descriptions get long: you can have a short summary paragraph, followed by detailed paragraphs and examples.

Reference Links

Another help to readability is the use of shortcut reference links. This leaves the link text in the content, with the destination declared out of the way at the bottom of the document. In some cases, collapsed reference links are used to avoid conflicts and to handle links with brackets in the link text.
