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

gulp-named-log

A logging utility, primarily intended for use with Gulp or other Vinyl streams. Loosely inspired by gulp-util. Why you might want to use it:

  • Log lines are prefixed by time, name, and optionally severity.
  • Errors are displayed verbosely, in such a way that all the important details are immediately obvious.
  • Supports Vinyl (Gulp) streams - simply pipe through a logstream, and every affected file will be logged.

WTFPL or CC0, whichever you prefer. A donation and/or attribution are appreciated, but not required.

Contributing

Pull requests welcome. Please make sure your modifications are in line with the overall code style, and ensure that you're editing the files in src/, not those in lib/.

Build tool of choice is gulp; simply run gulp while developing, and it will watch for changes.

Be aware that by making a pull request, you agree to release your modifications under the licenses stated above.

Usage

var gulp = require("gulp");
var gulpBabel = require("gulp-babel");
var gulpCache = require("gulp-cached");
var gulpPlumber = require("gulp-plumber");
var gulpNamedLog = require("gulp-named-log");

// We define the different named loggers here.
var babelLogger = gulpNamedLog("babel");
var gulpLogger = gulpNamedLog("gulp");

var source = ["src/**/*.js"]

gulp.task('babel', function() {
	return gulp.src(source)
		.pipe(gulpPlumber())
		.pipe(gulpCache("babel"))
		.pipe(gulpBabel({presets: ["es2015"]}))
		.pipe(babelLogger.stream()) // This logs every file going through.
		.pipe(gulp.dest("lib/"));
});

gulp.task('watch', function () {
	gulpLogger.info("Watching for changes:", source); // This logs once.
	gulp.watch(source, ['babel']);
});

gulp.task('default', ['babel', 'watch']);

API

gulpNamedLog(name, options)

Creates a new gulp-named-log instace.

  • name: The name prefix that is used for each line that this logger logs.
  • options:
    • basePath: Optional. The root path of the project. This is used to display shorter paths when using the logger as a Vinyl stream - rather than showing the full path of the file, it will show the path relative to the project root.
    • byteLimit: Defaults to 20. When the logger is used as a Vinyl stream, this is the maximum amount of bytes that will be rendered (in hexadecimal representation) for each file line.

logger.log(values...)

Logs each of the provided values, much like console.log would - but with a timestamp and logger name prefixed.

logger.debug(values...)

logger.info(values...)

logger.warn(values...)

logger.error(values...)

Like logger.log, but along with a timestamp and logger name, the line will also include the specified severity.

logger.stream()

Returns a new Vinyl stream, that will log (and pass through) every file it receives. In a typical gulp.watch + gulp-cache setup, this will only include the files that were modified (even if the result stays the same).
