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

Editor NPM distribution package

Editor is an extension for the DataTables Javascript library which adds full editing abilities to a DataTable, including row creation and deletion, multi-row editing, inline and bubble editing and full integration with Bootstrap, Foundation, Semantic UI and others. Full details and live examples for Editor can be found on its web-site.

Installing Editor

Editor is commercial software and thus is not suitable for distribution via NPM directly. As such the primary method to include Editor on your page is to download the Editor packages or use the DataTables download builder. However, NPM packages are useful for package builders such as WebPack and ESBuild, which is why this package is available.

Although the Editor Javascript library is not available in this package, it provides a skeleton structure that can be used with the Editor download packages and the licensed files dropped directly into this structure for use.

CLI installation

This distribution method does mean that each time you npm install to install the required packages for your application you will need to copy the licensed Editor files into your npm_modules. To help assist with that this package provides a Node script which will copy the files from the Editor zip to your node modules. Usage:

node node_modules/datatables.net-editor/install.js pathToEditorZip

For example:

node node_modules/datatables.net-editor/install.js ~/Downloads/Editor.zip

Why?

Although distribution of a Javascript library using this method is not ideal, npm currently doesn't offer a way to distribute commercial software. It works great for open source software such as DataTables core, but licensed software such as Editor needs to be downloaded separately. If you have any thoughts on this topic and how to improve it, feedback is always welcome.
