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

A banana library to end all banana libraries.

Maintainability Test Coverage

Set up

Installing

npm install banana-js

Importing

Module:

var banana = require("banana-js");

Browser:

<script type="text/javascript" src="./banana.js"></script>

Usage

Banana currently supports 34 languages, including:

Arabic, Azerbaijani, Basque, Belarusian, Burmese, Catalan, Cebuano, Cantonese (and Mandarin), Czech, Dutch, Esperanto, English, Estonian, Filipino, Finnish, French, Georgian, German, Greek, Gujarati, Haitian Creol, Hausa, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Icelandic, Igbo, Indonesian, Japanese, Kannada, Kazakh, Khmer, and Korean!

banana("arabic"); 	// موز
banana("english"); 	// banana
banana("korean");	// 바나나

Ever needed the ingredients or directions to make banana nut muffins, pudding, or even smoothies?

// banana.muffin("ingredients" | "directions");
// banana.pudding("ingredients" | "directions");

banana.smoothie("ingredients" | "directions");
// ingredients:
	// [ "1 banana", "1/2 to 1 cup chilled milk", 
	// "1 tablespoon honey (optional)", 
	// "5 to 8 ice cubs (optional)" ]
// directions:
	// [ "0. Combine all of the ingredients in a blender and blend on medium-high speed until desired thickness.", 
	// "Tip: Combine ice cubes and milk first, then the other ingredients for a more even blend." ]

Unsure about if something is, in fact, a banana? Maybe it's in a language you don't understand!

var unsureBanana = "바나나";
banana.is(unsureBanana, "english");	// false
banana.is(unsureBanana, "korean");	// true

If you're ever feeling insignificant, check to see if something is longer than the word banana in a specific language!

var longer = "much larger";
var shorter = "short";
banana.isLongerThan(longer, "english");	 // false
banana.isLongerThan(shorter, "english"); // true

Feeling down? Need some banana facts to pick up your spirits? Generate some random ones!

banana.fact(); // 'Bananas are low in calories and have no fat, no sodium, and no cholesterol. They contain vitamin C, potassium, fiber, and vitamin B6.'
banana.fact(); // 'Wrapping banana stems tightly in cling wrap will make them last three to five days longer.'
banana.fact(); // 'Bananas are technically berries.'

Other

banana.peel();		// 🍌
banana.morse();		// -... .- -. .- -. .-
banana.base64();	// YmFuYW5h
banana.hex();		// #ffe135
banana.color();		// yellow
banana.phone();		// no.

Development

Like a real banana, all of the code is contained in one file:

./banana.js

Tests are in test.js and can be run using:

npm run test OR npm test
