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 🙏

A simple function that print objects and arrays as ASCII tables. Supports ANSI styling and weird 💩 Unicode emoji symbols (they won't break the layout), thanks to printable-characters.

npm install as-table

Printing objects

asTable = require ('as-table')

asTable ([ { foo: true,  string: 'abcde',      num: 42 },
           { foo: false, string: 'qwertyuiop', num: 43 },
           {             string:  null,        num: 44 } ])
foo    string      num
----------------------
true   abcde       42 
false  qwertyuiop  43 
       null        44 

Printing arrays

asTable ([['qwe',       '123456789', 'zxcvbnm'],
          ['qwerty',    '12',        'zxcvb'],
          ['qwertyiop', '1234567',   'z']])
qwe        123456789  zxcvbnm
qwerty     12         zxcvb
qwertyiop  1234567    z

Limiting total width by proportionally trimming cells + setting columns delimiter

asTable.configure ({ maxTotalWidth: 22, delimiter: ' | ' }) (data)
qwe   | 1234… | zxc…
qwer… | 12    | zxc…
qwer… | 1234… | z   

Right align

asTable.configure ({ right: true }) (data)
      foo        bar      baz
-----------------------------
      qwe  123456789  zxcvbnm
   qwerty         12    zxcvb
qwertyiop    1234567        z

Providing a custom object printer

asTable.configure ({ print: x => (typeof x === 'boolean') ? (x ? 'yes' : 'no') : String (x) }) (data)
foo  string      num
--------------------
yes  abcde       42 
no   qwertyuiop  43 
     null        44 

The callback also receives a field name (in case of objects) or a column index (in case of arrays):

asTable = require ('as-table').configure ({
    print (x, k) {
        if (k === 'timestamp') return new Date (x).toGMTString()
        return String (x)
    }
})

asTable ([ { name: 'A', timestamp: 1561202591572 },
           { name: 'B', timestamp: 1558524240034 } ])

Obtaining a pre-configured function

asTable = require ('as-table').configure ({ maxTotalWidth: 25, delimiter: ' | ' })

asTable (data)

Customizing the title rendering and the header separator

With string coloring by ansicolor (just for the demo purposes, any library will fit):

asTable = require ('as-table').configure ({ title: x => x.bright, delimiter: ' | '.dim.cyan, dash: '-'.bright.cyan })

console.log (
   asTable ([ { foo: true,  string: 'abcde',                             num: 42 },
              { foo: false, string: 'qwertyuiop'.bgMagenta.green.bright, num: 43 } ])
