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 🙏

How to.

You first need to get your credentials.

  1. Follow Step One of this guide to get them: developers.google.com
  2. Once you have them create a new folder in your root project folder named ".credentials".
  3. Place the new file you got from Step One into the new folder.
  4. Now follow step 3 (The Google Developers Step 3 not this one) to get your token.
  5. Once you have done that navigate to your user folder e.g. "C:\Users\james" and open ".credentials".
  6. Copy the .json file that's there (If there's more than two copy the one that says google-apis-nodejs-quickstart) over to your own ".credentials" folder.
  7. Rename it to token.json and you're all set.

Below is a simple template of what it looks like.

const youtube = require('@jamesbacon/youtubeapi');

var credentials = require('./.credentials/client_secret.json').installed;
var token = require('./.credentials/token.json');

const oauth = youtube.authorize(credentials, token);

youtube.commentThread.list({
    auth: oauth,
    part: 'snippet, replies',
    videoId: 'KIIm9PszZDM',
    maxResults: '1'
}).then(thread => {
    console.log(thread);
}).catch(error => console.log(error));

This is my first ever public project so be easy on me, hahahaha.
