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

##loopback-discovery loopback-discovery is a command prompt discovery script for the [LoopBack] (https://github.com/strongloop/loopback/) framework.

##Installation

npm install -g loopback-discovery

##Basic use

The script can discover models from data sources defined on a StrongLoop application from command line. This is mainly for overcoming missing support for 'non-supported' connectors in StrongLoop's [Arc] (https://github.com/strongloop/strong-arc) GUI interface.

  • To run model discovery for sports data source inside a StrongLoop application available in current folder.
$ loopback-discovery

With this new models from sports data source will be discovered, the one that already exists are being skipped. Once discovered the user gets to select the ones that are going to be publicly exposed through the REST interface.

  • To run model discovery for sports data source inside a StrongLoop application available in /opt/strongloop/sports.
$ loopback-discovery -d sports /opt/strongloop/sports
  • To run model discovery for sports data source inside a StrongLoop application available in /opt/strongloop/sports while overwriting existing model definition.
$ loopback-discovery -o -d sports /opt/strongloop/sports
  • By default the schema used in connection connection definition is used for discovery, however some loopback connectors can support additional discovery options:
    • all: to use all owners/schemas for discovery use -a command option
    • views: to include views in discovery use -v command option
$ loopback-discovery -a -v -d sports /opt/strongloop/sports

For information on configuring the connector in a LoopBack application, please refer to LoopBack documentation.

##Tests: To run the test suite set-up the test StrongLoop application in test folder:

$ cd test/slc-app
$ npm install

Update sports data source configuration in test/slc-app/server/data-sources.json to a connection locally available.

"sports": {
    "host": "10.10.10.6",
    "port": 37900,
    "database": "sports2000",
    "name": "sports",
    "connector": "loopback-connector-akera"
  }

Run the test scripts.

$ npm test
