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 🙏

Published

Start up your Node.js projects with ease. No need to install express, cors, or the basic things you need for a Node.js project. We got you covered.

Readme


📜 Table of Contents


💡 About

Banah JS is a CLI tool designed to scaffold a fully functional Node.js project with just one command.
No need to manually install and configure essential dependencies—Banah JS takes care of everything, including creating an initial project structure, a package.json file, and commonly used boilerplate code.


⚙️ Installation

Install Banah JS globally using npm:

npm install -g banah

🚀 Getting Started

To create a new Node.js project, run the following command:

banah create your-project-name

This will:

  1. Create a folder named your-project-name.
  2. Generate a pre-configured project structure.
  3. Install essential dependencies like express, cors, dotenv, and development tools like nodemon.

Once the setup is complete, navigate to your project folder:

cd your-project-name

✨ Features

  • Express.js: A lightweight and fast web framework for server-side logic.
  • CORS: Simplifies handling of cross-origin requests.
  • dotenv: Makes managing environment variables easy and secure.
  • Nodemon: Automatically restarts the server during development whenever you save changes.
  • Pre-configured Project Structure: Start coding right away without worrying about boilerplate setup.
  • Readable Code: Clean and modular project code to help beginners understand Node.js.

🛠️ Usage

Start the Application

To start the server:

npm run start

Development Mode

Run the server in development mode with automatic restarts:

npm run server

The server will be available at http://localhost:3000 by default.
