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 🙏

🚀 Quick Start

🧹 Comment Remover

import { CommentRemover, FileType } from '@regele/devtools';

// Create a new comment remover with default options
const commentRemover = new CommentRemover();

// Remove comments from JavaScript code
const jsCode = `
// This is a comment
function hello() {
  /* This is a
     multiline comment */
  console.log('Hello world'); // End of line comment
}
`;

const cleanCode = commentRemover.removeComments(jsCode, FileType.JavaScript);
console.log(cleanCode);
function hello() {
  console.log('Hello world');
}
// Customize removal options
const customRemover = new CommentRemover({
  singleLine: true,     // Remove single-line comments (// in JS)
  multiLine: true,      // Remove multi-line comments (/* */ in JS)
  jsxComments: true,    // Remove JSX comments ({/* */} in JSX/TSX)
  emptyLines: false     // Preserve empty lines after comment removal
});

// Or update options on an existing instance
commentRemover.updateOptions({
  singleLine: true,
  multiLine: false,     // Keep multi-line comments
  emptyLines: true
});

// Get current configuration
const options = commentRemover.getOptions();
console.log(options);
// Process multiple files with glob patterns
const results = await commentRemover.cleanFiles('src/**/*.{js,ts}', {
  write: true,          // Write changes back to files
  ignore: ['node_modules/**', 'dist/**'],  // Ignore patterns
  silent: false         // Show processing output
});

console.log(`Processed ${results.length} files`);

💅 Code Beautifier

import { Beautifier, FileType } from '@regele/devtools';

// Create a new beautifier with custom options
const beautifier = new Beautifier({
  semi: true,
  singleQuote: true,
  tabWidth: 2
});

// Format JavaScript code
const jsCode = `function hello(){console.log("Hello world")}`;

// Format code (returns a promise)
const formattedCode = await beautifier.format(jsCode, FileType.JavaScript);
console.log(formattedCode);
function hello() {
  console.log('Hello world');
}
// Create with specific options
const beautifier = new Beautifier({
  semi: false,          // No semicolons
  singleQuote: true,    // Use single quotes
  tabWidth: 4,          // 4-space indentation
  useTabs: false,       // Use spaces instead of tabs
  printWidth: 100,      // Line width limit
  trailingComma: 'es5', // Trailing commas where valid in ES5
  bracketSpacing: true, // Spaces in object literals
  arrowParens: 'always' // Parentheses around arrow function parameters
});

// Update options on an existing instance
beautifier.updateOptions({
  semi: true,
  printWidth: 80
});
import prettier from 'prettier';

// Use with Prettier for enhanced formatting capabilities
const prettierBeautifier = new Beautifier({
  // Prettier options
  semi: true,
  singleQuote: true
}, prettier);

// Format files with specific parser
const tsCode = `interface User{name:string;age:number}`;
const formattedTS = await prettierBeautifier.format(tsCode, FileType.TypeScript);
console.log(formattedTS);
interface User {
  name: string;
  age: number;
}
// Format multiple files with glob patterns
const results = await beautifier.formatFiles('src/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx}', {
  write: true,          // Write changes back to files
  ignore: ['node_modules/**', 'dist/**'],  // Ignore patterns
  silent: false         // Show processing output
});

console.log(`Beautified ${results.length} files`);

Examples

import { CodeAnalyzer, SeverityLevel, CategoryType } from '@regele/devtools';

// Create analyzer with custom options
const analyzer = new CodeAnalyzer({
  minSeverity: SeverityLevel.Warning,  // Only report warnings and above
  categories: [                         // Only include these categories
    CategoryType.Security,
    CategoryType.Performance
  ],
  maxDepth: 3,                         // Maximum recursion depth
  ignore: ['node_modules/**', 'dist/**'] // Patterns to ignore
});

// Analyze a single file
const result = await analyzer.analyzeFile('src/app.js');
console.log(`Found ${result.findings.length} issues in ${result.filePath}`);

// Process findings
result.findings.forEach(finding => {
  console.log(`[${finding.severity}] ${finding.message} at line ${finding.line}`);
  console.log(`Category: ${finding.category}`);
  console.log(`Suggestion: ${finding.suggestion}`);
});

// Analyze multiple files
const results = await analyzer.analyzeFiles('src/**/*.js');
const totalIssues = results.reduce((sum, r) => sum + r.findings.length, 0);
console.log(`Found ${totalIssues} issues across ${results.length} files`);

// Calculate quality score
const qualityScore = results.reduce((score, result) => {
  // Higher score means better quality
  const fileScore = 100 - (result.findings.length * 5);
  return score + Math.max(0, fileScore);
}, 0) / results.length;

console.log(`Overall code quality score: ${qualityScore.toFixed(2)}/100`);

Analysis Categories

The CodeAnalyzer detects issues in the following categories:

  • Performance: Nested loops, unbatched DOM updates, unthrottled event listeners
  • Security: Unsanitized user input, unsafe eval usage, dangerous innerHTML
  • Maintainability: Complex functions, deep nesting, duplicated code, missing JSDoc
  • Bugs: Off-by-one errors, unhandled promises, null dereferences, inconsistent returns
  • Style: Naming conventions, indentation, semicolon usage, function style
