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 🙏

format-foo

v0.9.1

Published

Another String format function! You gotta be kidding me.

Readme

��format-foo

Another String format function! You gotta be kidding me.

This format function, while very similar to sprintf, borrows from other format function/method of various origin. While it aims to be complete in itself, it also allows you to extend it by provinding your own conversion functions.

IT IS NOT COMPLETE YET, so what you've just read is kinda rubbish.

Usage

var foo = require('format-foo')
foo.format('Hello my name is %s and I\'m %d years old', 'Foo', 123) 
  => returns : Hello my name is Foo and I'm 123 years old

Examples

Here are some examples taking from the tests:

Hello my name is %s
  with Foo should format to 'Hello my name is Foo'
Hello my name is %s %s
  with Foo, Bar should format to 'Hello my name is Foo Bar'
I am %d years old
  with 123 should format to 'I am 123 years old'
I am %5d years old with left padded zeroes
  with 123 should format to 'I am 00123 years old with left padded zeroes'
Today is %tY-%tm-%td
  with Wed Aug 29 2012 00:00:00 GMT-0400 (Eastern Daylight Time) should format to 'Today is 2012-08-29'
Now it is %tI:%tM%tp
  with Wed Aug 29 2012 22:13:00 GMT-0400 (Eastern Daylight Time) should format to 'Now it is 10:13PM'
