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 🙏

Readme

Scalar OpenAPI to Markdown

Version Downloads License Discord

A Node.js package to generate LLM-friendly Markdown from OpenAPI documents.

Installation

npm install @scalar/openapi-to-markdown

Usage

import { createMarkdownFromOpenApi } from '@scalar/openapi-to-markdown'

const content = {
  openapi: '3.1.1',
  info: {
    title: 'My API',
    version: '1.0',
  },
  paths: {
    // …
  },
}

// Generate Markdown from an OpenAPI document
const markdown = await createMarkdownFromOpenApi(content)

With Hono

You use the package with any Node.js framework. Here is an example for Hono:

import { Hono } from 'hono'
import { createMarkdownFromOpenApi } from '@scalar/openapi-to-markdown'

// Generate Markdown from an OpenAPI document
const markdown = await createMarkdownFromOpenApi(content)

const app = new Hono()

/**
 * Register a route to serve the Markdown for LLMs
 *
 * Q: Why /llms.txt?
 * A: It's a proposal to standardise on using an /llms.txt file.
 *
 * @see https://llmstxt.org/
 */
app.get('/llms.txt', (c) => c.text(markdown))

serve(app)

Generate HTML

This is not really the purpose of the package, but maybe good to know: This package actually renders HTML at first, and transforms the HTML to Markdown then.

So if you'd like to have a really light-weight HTML API Reference, here you are:

import { Hono } from 'hono'
import { createHtmlFromOpenApi } from '@scalar/openapi-to-markdown'

// Generate HTML from an OpenAPI document
const html = await createHtmlFromOpenApi(content)

const app = new Hono()

app.get('/', (c) =>
  c.html(
    `<!doctype html>
<html lang="en" data-theme="light">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8" />
  <title>Scalar Galaxy</title>
  <!-- Basic styling for semantic HTML tags (optional) -->
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@picocss/pico@2/css/pico.min.css">
</head>
<body>
  <main class="container">
    ${html}
  </main>
</body>
</html>`,
  ),
)

serve(app)
