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

j•ko

jko License

j•ko is a script execution tool that extends scripts and integrates dependencies from external files, promoting organization and sharing.

🚀 Quick Start

  1. Install jko:
$ npm install -g jko
  1. Confirm that the jko is installed correctly and check out the available options.:
$ jko --help
  1. List available scripts defined in the jko.js file (or in package.json):
$ jko
  1. Run one of your scripts:
$ jko yourScript arg1 ... argN

📦 Sharing Scripts and Dependencies across Projects

jko was designed to streamline project management by organizing and sharing scripts and dependencies across projects, leveraging JavaScript’s dynamic capabilities to import files. This modular approach enables you to build complex dependency trees and automate tasks with ease.

jko.js:

import extraScripts from './extra-scripts'
import fromSomePackageScripts from 'somePackage'
import { devDependencies } from './another/path/dependencies'
import { dependencies } from 'anotherPackage/dependencies'


export default {
  scripts: {
    yourScript1: "someCommand",
    yourScript2: function (param1, paramN) {
      // do something
    },
    ...extraScripts,
    ...fromSomePackageScripts.scripts
  },
  envFile: './path/to/.env',
  dependencies: {
    packageName1: "#.#.#",
    packageNameN: "#.#.#",
    ...dependencies
  },
  devDependencies: {
    devPackageName1: "#.#.#",
    devPackageNameN: "#.#.#",
    ...devDependencies
  },
  packageManager: 'npm',
  logLevel: 'error',
}

Run your script:

$ jko yourScript2 arg1 ... argN

or install your dependencies:

$ jko install

📜 Declarative Syntax

jko provides a structured and declarative way to manage scripts, and orchestrate tasks.

  • $pre – Defines pre-execution steps that must run before the script.
  • $post – Specifies post-execution actions that run after the script.
  • $catch – Handles errors within the script, allowing custom error responses.
  • $disable – Prevents a specific script from executing.
  • $comment – Adds a descriptive remark for a specific script.
export default {
  scripts: {
    "$pre (yourScript)": "echo 'Preparing for ...'",
    "yourScript": "someCommand",
    "$comment (yourScript)": "This script will ..."
    "$post (yourScript)": "echo 'Done!'",
    "$catch (yourScript)": "echo 'An error occurred during execution!'",
    "$disable (yourScript2)": function (param1, paramN) {
      // do something
    }
  }
}

Run your script:

$ jko yourScript arg1 ... argN
