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 🙏

commonify

v1.1.0

Published

Converts AMD/RequireJS modules to CommonJS. Supports CoffeeScript.

Readme

Converts AMD/RequireJS modules to CommonJS. Supports CoffeeScript.

Commonify

As you know, AMD handles path differently than CommonJS. Commonify automatically finds correct path using fuzzy search.

Example

Before convertation
define ['underscore', 'models/user'], (_, User) ->
  initialize: (app) ->
After convertation
_ = require('underscore')
User = require('./models/user')

module.exports =
  initialize: (app) ->

Usage

Install and run
$ npm install -g commonify
$ commonify app/*.coffee
$ commonify [--dry] files

Contributing (doesn't work? How to fix)

While this project lacks unit tests (yet), it has workflow focused on fixing bugs in the wild.

So, if you encounter the bug, please:

  1. Clone the repo, install deps in npm install.
  2. Run Commonify in development mode (see below).
  3. You will likely want to fix grammar file coffee.pegjs. Use PEG.js docs for that. When you change any source file, Commonify re-runs the convertation.
  4. Do few quickly iterations.
  5. When you're done with the file, re-run Commonify on the whole project and review diffs.
Development Mode
$ git clone https://github.com/Lendar/commonify; cd commonify
$ npm start --files=../existing-project/file.coffee
