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

gist-get

node module to retrieve gists using github api.

installation

npm install gist-get

usage

This module wraps the github api for retrieving gists. It uses the request module to send GET requests to the api.

var gist = require('gist-get');

methods

gist.get(id, [opts], callback)

id is a gist id, such as 0d1faa46f230d941e184.

opts is an optional object, with one field, "headers". This can be used to specify the headers for the request. It defaults to the value of require('github-api-base').headers. This default exists to ensure that a User-Agent header is sent with the request, as required by the github api.

callback(err, result) will be passed the result of JSON.parse(body), which is a javascript object representing the requested gist, assuming no errors.

gist.version(id, version, [opts], callback)

version is a revision hash, for requesting a specific revision of a gist, such as 70dc7bf945f1577eb650c6a6658b6e91973b836e. The other parameters are the same as for gist.get.

gist.latest(id, [opts], callback)

callback(err, result) will, on success, be passed an object of the form { version: "70dc7bf945f1577eb650c6a6658b6e91973b836e", committed_at: "2014-10-22T23:43:30Z" } corresponding to the version and commit time of the most recent version of the requested gist.
