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 🙏

Common patterns abstraction library.

Readme

The Hel library allows bypassing technical complications in common patterns.

The motivation behind the library is to abstract away lot of the boilerplate by packaging patterns into easy to use functions.

npm install hel

For package.json projects install with npm i -D hel and uninstall with npm rm -D hel

Simplefied Webpack

The following helper functions will help you configure the boilerplate with minimal effort. Note that the tasks are biased towards gulp

var gulp = require('gulp');
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

// Javascript
// ==========

var hel = {
	webpack: require('hel/webpack')
};

var entryPath = './src/client/node_modules/Client/frontend';

var webpackConf = {
	
	entry: {
		home: entryPath + '/home.js',
	},

	output: {
		path: 'public/web',  // where to place files
		publicPath: '/web/', // url prefix when loading
	}

};

gulp.task('js', function (resolve) {
	hel.webpack
		.instance(webpackConf)
		.build(resolve);
});

gulp.task('watch:js', function (resolve) {
	hel.webpack
		.instance(webpackConf)
		.watch(resolve);
});

gulp.task('debug:js', function (resolve) {
	hel.webpack
		.instance(webpackConf)
		.debug(resolve, {
			'/src/client/node_modules/': ''
		});
});

js and watch:js do exactly what you would think. If you execute in a development environment (ie. NODE_ENV=development gulp) optimizations will happen so you get the fastest re-compilation possible. If no NODE_ENV is provided "production" will be assumed.

debug:js requires you to first build in production so as to generate source maps. Once you have them it will analyse them and tell you what each module uses, with your modules split from your 3rd party modules.
