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

flagsmith-cli

Retrieve Flagsmith state from an API and store it in a file.

This CLI can be used to bake default flags into your application as part of CI/CD, this provides support for offline applications and is also advised as part of our Defensive Coding and Default Flags Documentation. An example of this can be seen here.

Populating defaultFlags in your Project

The steps to using this to provide default flags are as follows. An example of this can be found here. The main steps to achieving this are as follows:

  1. Install the cli npm i flagsmith-cli --save-dev
  2. Call the cli as part of postinstall to create a flagsmith.json file:

export FLAGSMITH_ENVIRONMENT=API_KEY

"postinstall": "flagsmith get"

An example of this can be seen here. 3. In your application, import the outputted JSON and initialise the client with the json flagsmith.init({state:json, environmentID: json.environmentID})

Example:

import flagsmith from 'flagsmith'
import state from './flagsmith.json'

flagsmith.init({state, environmentID: state.environmentID})

Example with React:

import state from './flagsmith.json'
ReactDOM.render(
  <FlagsmithProvider options={{environmentID: state.environmentID, state}} flagsmith={flagsmith}>
    <App />
  </FlagsmithProvider>,
  document.getElementById('root')
);
