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

Ciallorize Your Code into ASCII Art!

Ciallorize is a JavaScript library that allows you to convert your bundled JS into ASCII art using a binary mask image.

To use Ciallorize:

npm i ciallorize

After installation, prepare your bundled JS file and mask image.

Requirements for the bundled JS file:​

  • The file must consist of a single line with no \n line breaks.
  • The file must contain at least 5,000 characters.
  • Ciallorize does not guarantee 100% conversion for all JS files. If conversion fails, an error will be thrown, and we apologize for any inconvenience.

Requirements for the mask image:​

  • Can be in any format supported by sharp.js.
  • Does not strictly need to be binary. During processing, the image will first be grayscaled, then binarized using a threshold of 128.
  • Black areas represent where you want text to be filled, while white areas represent where you want spaces to be filled.

How to call Ciallorize:

const ciallorize = require('ciallorize');
const fs = require('fs');

const code = fs.readFileSync('bundle.js', 'utf-8')
               .replaceAll('\n', '');   // No line breaks allowed

ciallorize(
    code,
    'mask.png',  // Path to the mask image
    {
        // Optional: Represents the width-to-height ratio of each character
        fontWidthToHeightRatio: 16/40,
        // Optional: Represents compensation for the length of the code string
        characterCompensation: 0.95,
    }
).then(result=>{
    fs.writeFileSync('result.js', result);
})
