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 🙏

install-lib

install-lib installs an npm package and all its dependencies as a single module.

Why?

Have you ever opened your node_modules folder? It's crazy - why is there a package called has? Who made it? Who cares? If that's you, this package might help.

Usage

It's easy, and works just like npm.

To add a package just use: npx install-lib [npm package]

And to install all listed packages use: npx install-lib

You can then use the package as a regular node module, install types, do all the stuff that it makes sense to do.

There's no need to install it, just run it with npx. Modules are exported to the node_modules directory, and appended to the package.json in the folder it's ran in.

Underlying tech

This package makes heavy use of npx and the awesome @zeit/ncc.

No Issues

This thing is new, and no issues have been discovered, which means it's perfect. If you find something wrong, let me know or request a PR yourself.
