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

forge

Install

npm install forge -g

What?

Forge has a pretty specific use case: you'd like to automate the application of a set of transformations on a specific file.

If you're tired of writing the same [M|J|Sl|C]afiles over and over, juggling command line scripts, node.js scripts, or even dealing with the hassle of having a configuration file sitting in your file directory; then this program is for you.

Philosophy

  • No configuration or build files you have to check-in to source control
  • Simple command line interface
  • Easy to program your own custom transformers
  • Use existing transformers that work with browserify

Right tool for the job

If you need to automate all the things or love configuring then grunt is for you.

If you want something simple and powerful and don't mind programming some then write a fucking Makefile.

How?

forge my_file.js transform1 transform2 transform3

Example, if you want to lint a file then mangle it:

forge my_file.js jshintify mangleify

Outputs to stdout

Pro-tip: you can include your forge command in the scripts section of your package.json file.

"scripts": {
  "prepublish": "forge foo.js mangleify > build/foo.min.js"
}

For more information see npm scripts
