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 🙏

makro

v1.0.5

Published

Text and function macros, inspired by the C Preprocessor.

Readme

Install

To add makro to your project, use the command npm i -S makro. You can also use the more familiar but longer command, npm install makro --save.

To include makro into your JavaScript, require it. var makro = require('makro');

Or if you are using ES6: import makro from 'makro';

Usage

To define a constant, call the makro object with the first argument as the name you wish to give it, and the second argument will be the value of the macro. The meaning of the value depends on whether it is a String or not.

Having the second argument as a String will assume it is code in text. Using { and } within the string will change the string to be a function based macro. Any identifier names within the curly braces will be replaced with function arguments.

  • defining makro('sin', 'console.log(Math.sin(5.5))'); will cause -0.7055403255703919 to be printed out on the statement: makro.sin;

  • defining makro('sin', 'console.log(Math.sin({a}))'); will require you to call it as a function, like so: makro.sin(5.5);.

Any other object - Functions, Numbers, null, etc... Will be a literal constant definition as expected.

  • defining makro('x', 5); will cause 5 to be printed on the statement: console.log(makro.x);.
