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

echo-cli

npm Travis Coveralls

A cross-platform CLI for outputting text to the command line (with escape sequences)

Why? Because Windows’ CMD doesn’t support escape sequences, and even a new line is printed differently from Bash. This makes outputting something from npm scripts much more challenging.

Install

To use in your package:

npm install --save-dev echo-cli

To use from the command line:

npm install --global echo-cli

Usage

echo-cli supports all JavaScript escape sequences described on the according MDN page. Feel free to open an issue if you need the Bash escape sequences too.

When passing an escape sequence, wrap the passed text into quotes to prevent Bash from interpreting the sequence on its own.

// In package.json
{
    "scripts": {
        "build": "echo-cli Building the project... && babel src -d dist",
        "test": "echo-cli 'Running the tests...\\nThis usually takes a couple of minutes.' && ava",
    }
}

// Or in Webpack config
{
    plugins: [
        new WebpackShellPlugin({
            onBuildEnd: ['copyfiles dist ../archive/dist && echo-cli "\\nCopied the build results"']
        })
    ]
}
# Or in a shell
$ echo-cli "Hello,\nworld!"
Hello,
world
