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 🙏

jsonroutedb

v1.0.0

Published

A simple Node.js package to access non-binary files using a path-like string.

Readme

jsonroutedb A simple Node.js package that allows you to access the content of non-binary files (like .txt, .html, .css, .js, etc.) stored within a data directory using a path-like string.

Installation

npm install jsonroutedb ```

## Usage

After installing, you can use the `choose` function to retrieve the content of files based on their location within the `data` directory. The path is specified as a string with folder and file names separated by `" TO "`.

```javascript
const db = require('jsonroutedb'); // 

async function getData() {
  const textContent = await db.choose('app TO test TO test.txt');
  if (textContent !== null) {
    console.log('Content of test.txt:\n', textContent);
  } else {
    console.error('Could not find or read the file: app/test/test.txt');
  }

  const htmlContent = await db.choose('website TO pages TO index.html');
  if (htmlContent !== null) {
    console.log('Content of index.html:\n', htmlContent);
  } else {
    console.error('Could not find or read the file: website/pages/index.html');
  }
}

getData();

async function manageData() {
  const createDbResult = await db.createDatabase('my_first_database');
  console.log(createDbResult); // Output: Database (folder) created at: /Users/yourusername/.jsonroutedb_data/my_first_database

  const createFolderResult = await db.createFolder('my_first_database TO subfolder');
  console.log(createFolderResult); // Output: Folder created at: /Users/yourusername/.jsonroutedb_data/my_first_database/subfolder

  const contents = await db.choose('my_first_database TO subfolder TO my_data.txt');
  if (contents !== null) {
    console.log('Content of my_data.txt:', contents);
  } else {
    console.error('Could not find or read the file.');
  }
}

manageData();
