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 🙏

Best VSTS NPM Auth

Refresh Azure DevOps Artifacts (ADO) and GitHub Packages npm authentication on your machine.

  • Reads your project .npmrc (and any scoped registries).
  • Gets an access token via Azure CLI (no app registration required).
  • Writes short-lived tokens to your user ~/.npmrc (and optionally project .yarnrc.yml).

Prerequisites

  • Node.js + npm
  • Azure CLI installed and logged in:
az login

Install

Option A: Install from npm (recommended)

npm i -g best-vsts-npm-auth

Option B: Install from a GitHub release tarball

  1. Download best-vsts-npm-auth-<version>.tgz from your Releases page.
  2. Install it globally:
npm i -g /path/to/best-vsts-npm-auth-<version>.tgz

Run

Process the local project .npmrc:

best-vsts-npm-auth .

Process a specific .npmrc:

best-vsts-npm-auth -n /path/to/.npmrc

Also update Yarn Berry config:

best-vsts-npm-auth -y ./.yarnrc.yml .

Notes

  • Access tokens are typically valid for ~1 hour. Re-run the tool if you see 401.
  • Tokens are written only to the user ~/.npmrc (not your project .npmrc) unless you intentionally configure otherwise.
  • GitHub Packages scoped registries (e.g. @your-org) are authenticated using the same token.
