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 🙏

An opinionated LUIS versioning tool

Readme

luis-version-tools

luis-version-tools is an opinionated tool around versioning LUIS apps born from a frustration of other engineers breaking LUIS applications, publishing into the wrong slot and not maintaining their changes in source control. A blog entry on the motivations behind the tool coming soon...

The tool is meant as a companion for the various command line tools in the botbuilder-tools repo.

Usage

Tool assumes your working directory has a .lu file, called model.lu in this example. Optionally, you should have a .luisrc file as per documentation here. Otherwise, you must provide the --appId, --authoringKey and --region parameters via the command line.

If you have a .luisrc file, you can use the following command.

luis-version --model model.lu --publish.

You may also pass the .luisrc file using the --luisrc parameter if you'd like to support different environments from one directory.

luis-version --model model.lu --luisrc .luisrc.prod --publish

If you do not have a .luisrc, use:

luis-version --model model.lu --appId id --authoringKey authKey --region azure_region --publish

This will created a new version of your LUIS app with the contents defined in model.lu and publish the version to the endpointBasePath specified in the .luisrc file. Removing the --publish flag will stop the script at the publishing step.

The tool will generate a .luis-app-version, which includes the crc-32 hash of the .lu file contents as well as the latest version of the LUIS model.

Keep the .lu file and the .luis-app-version file in source control. Your .lu file is the source of truth of what is the latest model in LUIS. Anytime there is a .lu change, run the script and commit .luis-app-version and .lu file. Now you know which version had which data, at any point.

A secondary binary called luis-lu-export is included that can export an application specified by a .luisrc file or command parameters into ludown format written into the file specified by the --model parameter. This is useful if you want to support editing of LUIS apps from within the LUIS UI but need to export and maintain in source control after the fact.
