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

Auto-README

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/4ef61766-5780-434f-8440-2d02389c977c

This README file was partially generated using GROQ API.

This Node.js script is designed to generate a README file for a project using a model from Groq, a chat AI platform. Here's a breakdown of the script:

Getting started

First, install the package:

npm install -g auto-readme-liam

Then, provide your API key as an environment variable:

set GROQ_API_KEY="<YourAPIkey>"

Once you do this, run this command:

auto-readme-liam

And now you're set! You can also run this command for help:

auto-readme-liam --h

Getting started (developers)

If you'd like to develop this project, clone the repository onto your local machine. Before using, make sure to provide an API key as an environment variable. You can either do this by creating a .env file and adding this line:

GROQ_API_KEY=<YourAPIkey>

or by setting it in the terminal:

$env:GROQ_API_KEY="<YourAPIkey>"

Once you do this, run this command:

node index.js

To contribute to the development of this project, follow the guidelines listed in CONTRIBUTING.md.

Command-line arguments

The script then checks for command-line arguments using process.argv. It supports the following options:

  • --help or --h: Displays help information.
  • --version or --v: Displays the current version of the script.
  • --model or --m: Displays the current model being used.
  • --o <filename>: Specifies the output file name for the generated README.
  • <filename>: Specifies the file for which a README should be generated.

Generating README file

The script then checks if a file name was specified on the command line. If so, it reads the file contents using fs.readFileSync() and stores them in an array fileContents. It also stores the file names in an array fileNames.

Next, the script calls the createREADME function from the ai.js file, passing the fileContents and fileNames arrays as arguments. This function uses the Groq API to generate a README file based on the provided files.

Error handling

The script also includes error handling for cases where:

  • The specified file is not found.
  • The --o option is used without specifying a file name.
  • An error occurs while generating the README file.

Groq API integration

The script uses the Groq API to generate the README file. It creates a Groq object with an API key from a .env file and a model selected from the ai.js file. The createREADME function is then called with the fileContents and fileNames arrays as arguments.

Exporting functions

Finally, the script exports the createREADME and model functions from the ai.js file.

Overall, this script provides a simple way to generate a README file for a project using a Groq AI model.
