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 🙏

lambda_pattern

v0.0.31

Published

module used for automating the lambda pattern of development

Readme

lambda_pattern_es6

Module that is loaded as a dev dependency for repositories that implement the lambda pattern for development.

usage

./dev_tools.sh --help

the lambda pattern

The lambda pattern makes a clear distinction between files that should be edited and files which are only intended to be inspected. The root of the repository only contains .git files, readme files and a shell script for interfacing with the development tools. All other files exist in either the 'src' or 'gen' folder.

The only files stored by the repo are 'src' files and 'gen/release' files. The first run of the dev_tools.sh script will prepare the repository for further development.

steps

create

Makes a new repository at the current location with the given name and runs init.

init

Removes everything except for src and then generates 'gen/dev' and 'gen/release' from scratch.

store

Opens the page needed to create a repo on github / bitbucket and then sets the origin and pushes the repo.

install / uninstall module

Installs a module as either save or save-dev in the 'gen/dev' folder and copies the package.json into the 'src' folder.

build

Any files added / removed / edited from 'src' have those changes applied to 'gen/[dev|release]/src'. Those changes are then pushed through other build processes. This step should throw up any compilation errors.

test

Runs unit tests for either dev or release. If a path is given, only the tests in that file are run. If the --show-all or -s flag is given, the output of passing tests is also shown.

status

Gives a report on the currents state of the repo. This includes the build status of dev and release, whether the tests passed since the last build and whether the template information has been filled in.

publish

Increments the verson number and pushes to npm.

todo

Adds or removes todo items, or set the order.
