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

boilerplatenode

This is a node cli package intended for generating the starter code for any node file, module or package.

Table of contents

General info

Instead of having to create .js files and having to import same utilities time and again, let boilerplatenode handle this work for you. Just run it as a regular command after linking it and pass the appropriate flags for importing these system modules. boilerplatenode automates this work. You can take this further and even write shell scripts calling this command and it would generate as many files as you want.

It doesn't have any dependencies and hence it'll work with a system that has node installed without requiring anything else.

Screenshots

  1. To access help use --help flag.

print Help

  1. Use the --out flag to see the content that will be written to the file.

print Help

  1. Use the --file [NAME] option to enter a filename without the .js extension or the default created file would be named index.js.

print Help

Technologies

  • NodeJS - version 14.15.0
  • Windows Terminal
  • Bash shell and any other POSIX based environment.

Setup

  1. Install Node from NodeJS.org
  2. Clone the git repository and cd into the repository.
  3. Use the command npm link boilerplatenode.
  4. You can now use this as an executable command systemwide as boilerplatenode --file [NAME] [options] or bpn --file [NAME] [options].
  5. print help using boilerplatenode --help.

Features

  • Use systemwide after linking.
  • 0 dependencies; Only uses node core modules.
  • Automate the workflow by generating .js files on the file with this package.

To-do list:

  • ADD functionality for passing filename as option in the shell environment. ✅
  • Write unit tests for the functionality.
  • Make it more flexible by passing number of files to be generated.

Status

Project is: in progress

Inspiration

The sole inspiration for creating this package is to automate the daily task of creating files using touch and then importing the same boiler plate code everyday before starting to write some actual implementation of the new program.
