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 🙏

caf_build

v0.4.1

Published

A subset of the 'cafjs' tool with no Caf.js dependencies

Readme

Caf.js

Co-design permanent, active, stateful, reliable cloud proxies with your web app and gadgets.

See http://www.cafjs.com

Command Line Tools

This is a subset of the functionality of cafjs, see caf_dcinabox repo for details. It helps to build Docker images faster.

It has no Caf.js dependencies and its purpose is to avoid installing all the development dependencies while creating a Docker image.

Also, this package is always installed from the NPM repository, i.e., ignoring the local workspace. This means that we do not need to bundle the tools directory in the image.

Building an image typically requires the build, pack, and mkStatic targets. They are invoked inside a Dockerfile as usual:

    cafjs build

but cafjs and other build tools are installed inside the image with:

    ENV PATH="/usr/local/bin:${PATH}"
    RUN yarn global add caf_build [email protected] [email protected] --prefix /usr/local

do not globally install this package outside an image, otherwise you will lose the full cafjs tool...
