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 🙏

v0.1.3

Published

Use the registry secretly.

Readme

@hyrious/npm-mirror

Do something under a custom registry, then rewrite them back to the default one.

[!NOTE] It currently only works for npm and bun's text lockfile, no pnpm support.

Usage

$ npx @hyrious/npm-mirror
Enabling custom registry: http://registry.npmmirror.com
Updated .npmrc
Updated package-lock.json

$ npm i -D esbuild

$ npx @hyrious/npm-mirror
Resetting default registry...
Updated .npmrc
Updated package-lock.json

Options

$ npx @hyrious/npm-mirror [registry] [dir]

registry

Default: http://registry.npmmirror.com (A mirror of registry in China.)

Despite of passing CLI arguments, it can also be configured with the environment variable NPM_MIRROR_REGISTRY.

The CLI updates .npmrc and package-lock.json to use or not use the registry. The trigger is whether .npmrc is configured to use that registry or there's at least one package using the registry in the lockfile.

If the .npmrc has different registry configured, it throws an error.

dir

Default: process.cwd()

The CLI searches package-lock.json from dir, then its parent dir and so on.

If you want to change the dir argument without touching registry, you can pass in _ or * in the first argument, e.g.

$ npx @hyrious/npm-mirror _ path/to/project

CI

If environment variable CI is present, the CLI does nothing.
