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 🙏

Left-Pad-AI-Local

🚀 A futuristic JavaScript library for padding strings using AI, powered by the new window.ai feature introduced in Chrome 128.

Introduction

left-pad-ai-local brings the classic left-padding functionality into the AI era! By leveraging Chrome's innovative window.ai API, this library not only pads strings but also ensures the padding makes semantic sense based on your context.

Whether you're working on text formatting, AI-driven text generation, or just need a sprinkle of futuristic flavor in your apps, this library has you covered.

Installation

To start using left-pad-ai-local, install it via npm:

npm i left-pad-ai-local

Features

  • AI-Powered Padding: Uses window.ai to understand and provide context-aware padding.
  • Offline Friendly: Works seamlessly with local AI models supported by Chrome 128.
  • Lightweight: Built with efficiency in mind, no unnecessary dependencies.
  • Fully Customizable: Define your padding characters, length, and even provide hints for AI-assisted padding.

Requirements

  • Chrome 128 or later (supports the window.ai API).
  • A basic understanding of JavaScript.

Usage

Here’s how you can get started:

Basic Example

import leftPad from 'left-pad-ai-local';

(async () => {
  const padded = await leftPad('hello', 10, ' ');
  console.log(padded); // Output: "     hello" or AI-augmented padding
})();

Advanced Example

You can customize the padding character and even provide AI hints:

import leftPad from 'left-pad-ai-local';

(async () => {
  const padded = await leftPad('world', 15, '-');
  console.log(padded); // Output: AI-enhanced padded string
})();

API

leftPad(str, padding, char)

  • str (string): The input string to pad.
  • padding (number): The total desired length of the output string.
  • char (string): Character used for padding.

Returns: A Promise resolving to the padded string.

Why AI for Padding?

In modern applications, context is everything. AI-enhanced padding can:

  • Provide branding-consistent formatting.
  • Automatically adjust padding for multilingual support.
  • Add dynamic and meaningful visual elements to UI designs.
