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 🙏

A CLI tool to create TypeScript projects

Readme

Based on the project code and package.json, I'll create an English version of README.md for this project:

create-npmjs

A CLI tool to create TypeScript projects

Description

create-npmjs is a command-line interface tool that helps you quickly scaffold new TypeScript projects with proper configuration and structure. It generates a ready-to-use TypeScript project with all necessary configuration files and initial code.

Features

  • Creates complete TypeScript project structure
  • Preconfigured tsconfig.json for TypeScript compilation
  • Ready-to-publish package with proper package.json settings
  • Includes common scripts for building and development
  • Supports scoped package names (e.g., @myorg/my-project)
  • Configured for Node.js >= 14.0.0

Installation

You don't need to install this tool separately. It can be used directly with npm init command.

Usage

To create a new TypeScript project, run:

npm init npmjs

The tool will prompt you for:

  1. Project name (can include scoped names like @myorg/my-project)
  2. Project description (optional)
  3. Author information (defaults to "jvy [email protected]")

Example

npm init npmjs
# Enter project name: @myorg/my-awesome-project
# Enter project description: An awesome TypeScript project
# Enter author information: Your Name <[email protected]>

This will create a new directory with your project name and generate all necessary files.

Generated Project Structure

The tool creates the following structure:

your-project/
├── src/
│   └── index.ts
├── package.json
├── tsconfig.json

Default Scripts

The generated project includes these npm scripts:

  • npm run build - Compiles TypeScript to JavaScript using tsc
  • npm start - Runs the TypeScript code directly with ts-node
  • npm publish - Publishes your package (automatically runs build first)
