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 🙏

ls-deps

v0.1.0

Published

List dependencies of an ES6 or SystemJS based project

Readme

ls-deps

A utility for displaying the dependency graph of modules in your project. It's like npm ls, but for client-side projects using StealJS.

Usage

> ls-deps --help

Get all dependencies of a project

Examples:
  ls-deps --config config app/app    Use config to get the dependencies for app/app


Options:
  --config    A module used to configure the loader           
  --base-url  The root folder used to load modules from       
  --depth     The depth of modules to show                      [default: 3]
  --inverse   Show all of the modules that are dependants on N
  --steal     A Steal based project                           
  --version   Show version number                             

Must provide a module to fetch dependencies for

Example

> ls-deps main

├─┬ foo
| ├── bar
| └─┬ baz
| | └── qux
└── bar

In the above example main is the main module and the dependencies listed are all chidren. Use --depth to control how deep we go; by default we go 3 levels deep.

Options

--config

Specifies a module that will act as configuration for the main module you'll load. This is optional and package.json will be used by default.

--base-url

Specifies a folder to act as the root folder for your project. It is equivalent to System.baseURL.

--depth

Specifies how deep to go in showing a module's dependencies. By default ls-deps uses a depth of 3, which means we'll show your module's dependencies and its dependencies.

--inverse

Inverse is a nice feature when you're trying find out what modules depend on a certain other module. To follow our example above, what if you wanted to know which modules depend on bar. By specifying the inverse option you can see all of bars dependants.

> ls-deps --inverse bar main

├─ foo
└─ qux

As shown above foo and qux depend on bar. I use this feature to see if my coworkers are requiring all of lodash instead of the individual module they need.
