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 🙏

CommonJS / ESM Notice

Currently this package provides both CommonJS (CJS) and ES Modules (ESM) builds.

Starting in version 7.x (subject to change), we plan to publish ESM-only releases and remove the CJS build.
As a result, you will no longer be able to use require() to import this package; you must use import instead.
(If you’re on Node.js v20 or later, you can still use require() with ESM modules natively. See release note)

Note: This only affects Node.js users. Runtimes like Bun and Deno already support ESM natively.

See this gist and our GitHub discussion for migration help.

Usage

google-sr is modular, use only the parsers relevant to your search. Here’s a simple example:

import { search, OrganicResult, TranslateResult, ResultTypes } from "google-sr";

const results = await search({
  query: "translate hello to japanese",
  parsers: [TranslateResult, OrganicResult],
});

console.log(results[0].type === ResultTypes.TranslateResult); // true
console.log(results);

Output Example

[
  {
    type: 'TRANSLATE',
    sourceLanguage: 'English (detected)',
    translationLanguage: 'Japanese',
    sourceText: 'hello',
    translatedText: 'こんにちは'
  },
  {
    type: 'ORGANIC',
    link: '...',
    description: "Konnichiwa – ...",
    title: '18 ...'
  }
]
