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 🙏

GitHub Actions Installer

Build Examples Maintainability Test Coverage

Utility classes for creating GitHub actions for downloading and caching binary files. It provides a couple of specific conveniences:

  1. An Installer class which, when given an app description (i.e. name + version), will check the GitHub tools cache and if necessary download the binary.
  2. A GitHubReleasesService class which knows how to query the GitHub API for latest versions ordered by semantic version number. This is important, because if you simply check the latest release (according to the GitHub API) in your actions and then patch an older version, users will be given the patch for your older version.

Usage

Add to your project:

npm install @jbrunton/gha-installer

For how to use the library, see the example actions:

  • single-app - shows how to install a single app on Linux.
  • multi-app - a more complex example that shows how to install multiple apps with different binaries on different platforms.

And in actions available on the GitHub Marketplace:
