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 🙏

Tool for generating and maintaining Europa plugins and presets

Readme

Europa Build

Europa Build is a tool for generating and maintaining Europa plugin and preset packages.

Build Status License Release

Install

Install using your preferred package manager. For example;

$ npm install --save-dev europa-build

You'll need to have at least Node.js 12.22.0 or newer.

This package is intended for generating Europa plugins and preset packages as well as also being used by those generated packages to ensure a smooth and consistent maintenance.

While it does come with an API, the primary intended usage is its CLI. If you want to use the command line interface to generate plugins and/or presets, you'll most likely want to install it globally so that you can run europa-build from anywhere:

$ npm install --global europa-build

API

Since the primary usage of this package is the CLI the API is simply what is used to help support the CLI.

You can generate plugin/preset packages:

import { TemplateManager, TemplateProviderType } from 'europa-build';

const templateManager = new TemplateManager();
console.log(templateManager.getProvidersForType(TemplateProviderType.Plugin));
//=> ["contrib", "official"]
const templateProvider = manager.getProvider('contrib', TemplateProviderType.Plugin);
const templateGenerator = templateProvider.createGenerator();

(async () => {
  const templateContext = await templateProvider.createContext({
    authorName: 'ghost',
    name: 'example', // Transformed to "europa-plugin-example"
    repositoryUrl: 'https://github.com/ghost/europa-plugin-example.git',
    authorEmail: '[email protected]', // Optional
    authorUrl: 'https://github.com/ghost', // Optional
    bugsUrl: 'https://github.com/ghost/europa-plugin-example/issues', // Optional
    description: 'Europa plugin example', // Optional; defaults to "TODO: Description"
    homepageUrl: 'https://github.com/ghost/europa-plugin-example', // Optional
    keywords: ['example'], // Optional; defaults to empty array
    version: '1.2.3', // Optional; defaults to "1.0.0" 
  });
  await templateGenerator.generate(templateContext, 'path/to/parent');
})();

Or run scripts to maintain your plugin/preset package:

import { ScriptRunner } from 'europa-build';

const scriptRunner = new ScriptRunner();
console.log(scriptManager.getScriptNames());
//=> ["build", "flint", "format", "lint", "test"]

(async () => {
  await scriptRunner.run('build', {
    cwd: 'path/to/parent/europa-plugin-example', // Optional; defaults to process.cwd()
  });
})();

CLI

Usage: europa-build [options] [command]

Options:
  -V, --version                         output the version number
  -h, --help                            display help for command

Commands:
  generate-plugin [options] <template>  generate a plugin package
  generate-preset [options] <template>  generate a preset package
  run-script [options] <name>           run the named script
  help [command]                        display help for command

Typically, you'll only generate plugins/presets using the contrib template as the official assumes the package will be maintained with the Europa monorepo.
