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 🙏

es6-bowerful

Tool for installing bower dependencies that won't include entire repos. Although Bower works great as a light-weight tool to quickly install browser dependencies, it currently does not provide much functionality for installing specific "built" components for the client.

Bower installer provides an easy way for the main files to be installed or moved to one or more locations. Simply add to your bower.json an install key and path attribute:

{
    "name": "test",
    "version": "0.1",
    "dependencies": {
        "bootstrap": "latest"
    },
    "path": {
        "regex/path": "{name}/{file}"
    }
}

Install bower-installer by executing

npm install es6-bowerful

Install dependencies from bower.json by executing

bower install

Examples gulp:

import 'colors';
import gulp from 'gulp';
import map from 'map-stream';
import bowerful from 'es6-bowerful';

const { dependencies, path, sources } = require('./bower.json');

gulp.task('build-bower', (done) => {
  const counter = {};
  bowerful({ install: Object.keys(dependencies), sources }, (src) => {
    console.log('\n=== Files ===');
    src
      .pipe(bowerful.dest('./test', path))
      .pipe(
        map((file, cb) => {
          const resultPath = file.destPath;
          if (!counter[resultPath]) {
            console.log(`----${resultPath.blue}`);
            counter[resultPath] = 1;
          } else counter[resultPath] += 1;
          console.log(`[${counter[resultPath].toString().magenta}] |- ${file.relative}`);
          cb(null, file);
        }),
      )
      .on('end', () => {
        console.log('\n=== Results ===');
        Object.keys(counter).forEach((key) => {
          console.log(`[${key.blue}] ${counter[key].magenta} files`);
        });
        done();
      });
  });
});

gulp.task('build-bower', (done) => {
  const counter = {};
  bowerful('./bower_components', (src) => {
    src
      .pipe(bowerful.dest('./public/libs'))
      .on('end', () => {
        done();
      });
  });
});

Config

Add config in bower.json file.

Default

{
    "name": "test",
    "version": "0.1",
    "dependencies": {
        "bootstrap": "latest"
    }
}

Result will get all file in 'dist' folder, if 'dist' folder not exist will get main files from bower.json in dependency folder :

build/
    css/
        *.css
    js/
        *.js
    font/
        *

Use RegExp config dest path

{name}: dependency name

{
    "name": "test",
    "version": "0.1",
    "dependencies": {
        "bootstrap": "latest"
    },
    "path": {
      "/css/*": "css/{name}"
    }
}

Dest folder css will move to css/{name} with '{name}' is 'bootstrap':

build/
    css/
        bootstrap/
            css/*.css
    js/
        *.js
    font/
        *

{file}: file.base in pipe

{
    "name": "test",
    "version": "0.1",
    "dependencies": {
        "bootstrap": "latest"
    },
    "path": {
      "/css/*": "css/{name}/{file}"
    }
}

Dest folder css will move to css/{name} with '{name}' is 'bootstrap' and '{file}' is [bootstrap.css, v.v...]:

build/
    css/
        bootstrap/
            *.css
    js/
        *.js
    font/
        *

Use vinyl-fs config src path

{
    "name": "test",
    "version": "0.1",
    "dependencies": {
        "bootstrap": "latest"
    },
    "path": {
      "/css/*": "css/{name}/{file}"
    },
    "sources": {
      "bootstrap": ["dist/css/**", "dist/fonts/**", "dist/js/**"],
    }
}
build/
    css/
        bootstrap/
            *.css
    *.js
    *
