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 🙏

OpenAPI descriptions for the CTAN API

npm

This package provides OpenAPI documents for the following APIs:

Each document contains no external $ref's for portability and is available in three formats: JSON, YAML, and TypeScript. There is also a *.deref variant with all internal $ref's dereferenced.

Note that each endpoint accepts HTTP POST requests as well as GET requests, but there is no fuctional difference, so only GET operations are described in the documents.

Installation

$ npm install ctan-openapi

Usage

With JSON

import api from 'ctan-openapi/json-2.0.json' with { type: 'json' };

console.log(api.info.version); // '2.0'

With TypeScript

import api from 'ctan-openapi/json-2.0.ts';

console.log(api.info.version satisfies '2.0');

With YAML

$ cat ./node_modules/ctan-openapi/dist/json-2.0.yml
openapi: 3.1.1
info:
