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 🙏

Union bundle

Readme

bare-union-bundle

Union bundle

npm install bare-union-bundle

Usage

const UnionBundle = require('bare-union-bundle')

const b = UnionBundle.require('./0.bundle', './1.bundle', './2.bundle')

const layer = b.add(new URL('file://root-of-project'), 'entrypoint.js')
// store as 3.bundle or whatever

// load entrypoint.js from bundle 1, union back to root
const mod1 = b.load(new URL('file://root-of-project'), 'entrypoint.js', 1)

// load entrypoint.js from bundle 2, union back to root
const mod2 = b.load(new URL('file://root-of-project'), 'entrypoint.js', 2)

API

const b = new UnionBundle(bundles)

Create a union of the bundles, an array of Bundles.

const b = UnionBundle.require(files)

Shortcut for creating a UnionBundle from file paths (files) automatically reading them as Bundles.

const layer = await b.add(root, entrypoint, opts = {})

Create a new layer bundle for an entrypoint skipping modules referenced in the existing bundles in the UnionBundle. root is a URL for the root of the entrypoint, aka it contains the node_modules directory where dependencies are installed.

opts includes:

{
  skipModules: true // skip bundling dependencies in `node_modules` in `root`
}

A layer bundle can be loaded by creating the union with the previous layer bundles via the UnionBundle constructor and loading via the union's load(). For example:

// Creating
const b = UnionBundle.require('./0.bundle', './1.bundle', './2.bundle')

const layer = b.add(new URL('file://root-of-project'), 'entrypoint.js')
await fs.writeFile('./3.bundle', layer.toBuffer())

// Loading
const b = UnionBundle.require('./0.bundle', './1.bundle', './2.bundle', './3.bundle')
const mod = b.load(new URL('file://root-of-project'), 'entrypoint.js')

const bundle = b.checkout(index)

Create a Bundle resolving all dependencies at the provided index.

Example:

const past = UnionBundle.require('./0.bundle', './1.bundle', './2.bundle')
const mod1 = past.checkout(1) // returns a resolved bundle combining `1.bundle` & `0.bundle`

const mod = b.load(root, entrypoint, index, opts = {})

Load entrypoint (relative to root) from the bundle at the provided checkout index.

opts includes:

{
  cache: require.cache, // the module cache to load the entrypoint with
  skipModules: true // skip loading dependencies from `node_modules` in bundle if they are in the cache
}
