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 🙏

Docs

randomUpperLetter

Usage:

jpString.randomUpperLetter();
// possible return "A"

It takes in no arguments.

When called it returns one random letter from the English alphabet (ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ) in upper (capital) case.

randomLowerLetter

Usage:

jpString.randomLowerLetter();
// possible return "b"

It takes in no arguments.

When called it returns one random letter from the English alphabet (abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz) in lower case.

initial

Usage:

jpString.initial(string, capital);

It takes in two arguments; a string of any length and a boolean.

If capital is set to true every initial will be capitalized. If capital is set to false every initial will be set to lower case. If there is no second argument the initials will be returned in the case of their submission.

The first argument HAS to be a string.

It returns the initials of each word that is separated by a space. The initials are returned joined. Special characters such as £$%^ are ignored but numbers are returned. Commas (,) and periods (.) that are not spaced will be returned within the initials.

Example:

jpString.initial("john smith");
// will return unchanged initials 'js'
jpString.initial("john Smith", true);
// will return capitalized initials 'JS'
jpString.initial("John Smith. Mary Jane", false);
// will return lower case initials with periods 'js.mj'
// this is also true with commas
jpString.initial("$£John Smith , Mary 1Jane");
// will return unchanged initials without the comma or $£ 'JSM1'
// this is also true with periods
