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 🙏

gulp plugin for spicing up coffee-script logs

Readme

gulp-pepper

inserts info dictionaries into coffee-script logs like this:


class AClass
    
    do: (foo) ->
        log 'something'

    # the log line gets replaced by 

        log {"file":".../file.coffee","class":"AClass","line":5,"args":["foo"],"method":"do","type":"."}, "something"

gulpfile.coffee

gulp = require 'gulp'
pepper = require 'gulp-pepper'

gulp.task 'pepper', ->        
    gulp.src "*.coffee"
        .pipe pepper {...config...}
        .pipe gulp.dest './peppered'

default config

stringify: JSON.stringify
      #
      # this lets you change the ouput format or enhance the info, 
      # eg. instead of dumping the whole info dictionary you could 
      # just prefix the logs with class name and method name like this: 
      # 
      # stringify: (i) -> '"' + i.class + i.type + i.method + ' ► "'
      # 
pepper: ['log']
      # names of functions that get peppered
      #
      # if specified as a map:
      #       key: original function name that gets replaced
      #       value: replacement function that gets called instead
      #
      # if specified as a list:
      #       preserves the original function names
      #
      #  the replacement function receives one additional argument:
      #       an object with keys: file, line, method, type, args
paprika: 
    'dbg': 'log'
      # names of functions that get paprikaed :-)
      #
      # same as pepper, but the original variable arguments get
      #                 prefixed by their names. eg.:
      #  
      # dbg foo, bar
      # 
      # gets replaced by
      #
      # dbg {...pepper...}, 'foo:', foo, 'bar:', bar
      #
paprikaPrefix:  ''
paprikaPostfix: ':'

This stuff works for me, but I won't guarantee that it works for you as well. Use at your own risk!
