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 🙏

Variables:

  • sitemapUrl: Stores the URL of the sitemap to fetch. Replace with the actual URL of your sitemap.
  • outputFile: The filename for the extracted URLs text file.

fetchSitemap function:

Takes the sitemap URL as input. Uses https.get to fetch the sitemap content. Returns a promise that resolves with the fetched data or rejects with an error.

extractUrls function:

Takes the XML data from the sitemap as input. Uses a DOMParser to parse the XML string. Extracts the URLs from the tags and stores them in an array. Returns the array of extracted URLs.

writeToFile function:

Takes an array of URLs and a filename as input. Joins the URLs into a single string with newlines as delimiters. Uses fs.writeFile to write the URL content to the specified file. Logs an error message if writing fails, or a success message if successful.

Main execution:

  1. Calls fetchSitemap with the sitemap URL.
  2. Uses then chaining to process the fetched data.
  3. Calls extractUrls to get the URLs from the XML data.
  4. Calls writeToFile with the extracted URLs and the output filename.
  5. Catches any errors during the process and logs them.

How to use:

  • Replace 'https://www.example.com/sitemap.xml' with the actual URL of your sitemap.
  • Run the script using Node.js: node fetch_sitemap.js
  • This script will fetch the sitemap, extract the URLs, and write them to the specified text file.
