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 🙏

cosmiconfig-loader-pkl

v0.2.0

Published

Loader for Apple's Pkl format.

Readme

cosmiconfig-loader-pkl

Loader for Apple's Pkl format.

License Version: npm Build

Installation 💿

npm i cosmiconfig-loader-pkl

Usage 🚀

Pass the loader to cosmiconfig's loaders option, keyed by the .pkl extension. Since cosmiconfig merges your loaders into its defaults but leaves searchPlaces alone, you also have to tell it where to look for Pkl files:

import { cosmiconfig } from 'cosmiconfig';
import { pklLoader } from 'cosmiconfig-loader-pkl';

const explorer = cosmiconfig('myapp', {
	searchPlaces: ['myapp.config.pkl'],
	loaders: {
		'.pkl': pklLoader,
	},
});

Synchronous usage

pklLoaderSync is a valid LoaderSync, for use with cosmiconfigSync():

import { cosmiconfigSync } from 'cosmiconfig';
import { pklLoaderSync } from 'cosmiconfig-loader-pkl';

const explorer = cosmiconfigSync('myapp', {
	searchPlaces: ['myapp.config.pkl'],
	loaders: {
		'.pkl': pklLoaderSync,
	},
});

Both loaders shell out to the Pkl toolchain, so the sync one blocks the event loop for the duration of the evaluation. Prefer pklLoader unless you're in a context that can't await – a CLI's startup path, for instance.

[!TIP] The config file is handed to Pkl by path, so relative amends, import and read() URIs resolve against the config file itself.

Custom Pkl options

Use createLoaders() to pass options through to the Pkl CLI. It returns both loaders as { async, sync }. The output format is always json and can't be overridden:

import { cosmiconfig } from 'cosmiconfig';
import { createLoaders } from 'cosmiconfig-loader-pkl';

const { async: pklLoader } = createLoaders({
	// default config
	allowedModules: undefined,
	allowedResources: undefined,
	timeout: 0,
	cache: {
		enabled: false,
		directory: undefined
	}
});

const explorer = cosmiconfig('myapp', {
	searchPlaces: ['myapp.config.pkl'],
	loaders: {
		'.pkl': pklLoader,
	},
});
