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 🙏

fsj

Convert a file tree to a json blob

Readme

fsj

Command line:

fsj(1)

usage: fsj [files] [-lhf] [-d int] [-t exec] [-i regex]
 
    Writes a json blob to stdout, with all the contents of all the files in it.

    If no arguments are specified, reads a whitespace delimited list of files
    from stdin, and builds a bundle from their contents once it receives EOF.

    Options:

    -d, --indent:

       formats the resulting json with the specified number of spaces 

    -h, --help:

        Print this help message, and exit.

    -l, --links:

        follow symbolic links, recursively descending whatever the
        link points to, as well.

    -i, --ignore regex:

        Paths matching this JavaScript regex are excluded

    -t, --file-transform

        The path to an executable process that listens for file data on stdin
        and writes some transform of the above to stdout. For example:

          fsj -t $(grep ack)

        will result in a json blob whose values are only those lines containing
        "ack".

    -f, --flat
        
        Whether the resulting json blob should unify paths and return a nested
        blob, or a flat json blob. For example, with flat specified, the
        resulting blob might be:

            {
                'my-proj/help.txt': 'text',
                'my-proj/chpater1/intro.txt': 'text',
                'my-proj/chpater1/body.txt': 'text',
                'my-proj/chpater1/conclusion.txt': 'text',
                'my-proj/chpater2/body.txt': 'text'
            }

        With flat set to false, it owuld be:

            {
                'my-proj': {
                    'help.txt': 'text'
                    'chpater1': {
                        /intro.txt': 'text',
                        'body.txt': 'text',
                        'conclusion.txt': 'text'
                    },
                    'chpater2': {
                        'body.txt': 'text'
                    }
                }
            }

Node

var fsj = require('fsj')

fsj(stream, options, ready)
  • stream: a readable stream which emits paths to walk
  • options: options keyed and defined by the logform of the command line arguments listed below
  • ready: a callback when its all been walked. Will be called with the json blob defined in the command line section
