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 🙏

Helper base class for Broccoli plugins that write output files

Readme

broccoli-writer

Base class for Broccoli plugins that write an output tree. Most plugins fall into this category (the exception being plugins that just point at an existing directory on the file system, like broccoli-bower), so they will be implemented either using this base class or using a derived, more specific base class.

This base class's main purpose is to create and clean up the temporary output directory for you.

Installation

npm --save broccoli-writer

Usage

Write your plugin like so:

var Writer = require('broccoli-writer');

module.exports = MyCompiler;
MyCompiler.prototype = Object.create(Writer.prototype);
MyCompiler.prototype.constructor = MyCompiler;
function MyCompiler (arg1, arg2, ...) {
  if (!(this instanceof MyCompiler)) return new MyCompiler(arg1, arg2, ...);
  ...
};

MyCompiler.prototype.write = function (readTree, destDir) {
  ...
};

Inside MyCompiler.prototype.write, readTree is supplied by Broccoli -- call readTree(someInputTree) to read another tree. destDir is the path to a newly-created temporary directory created by the Writer base class. Place all the output files you wish to generate in this directory.

If you want to do something asynchronous, return a promise that resolves when you are done.

In the MyCompiler constructor, you don't need to call the Writer base class constructor.

Your plugin can be used in Brocfile.js like so:

var compileSomething = require('broccoli-my-compiler');

var outputTree = compileSomething(arg1, arg2, ...)
