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

module-version-check

Check for outdated npm dependencies and report to HipChat.

Features

  • Tells you what's out of date.
  • Provides a link to the package's documentation so you can decide if you want the update.
  • You can send output to the HipChat Room or output to the console
  • Very easy to integrate as a daily (/nightly) reporting tool with HipChat notifications

Installation

$ npm install -g module-version-check

Usage

Node HipChat api

var moduleVersionChecker = require('module-version-check');

var params = {
    "hipchat": {
        "color": "red",
        "token": "",
        "room": 1
    },
    "output": {
        "console": false, // if true, outputs result into console
        "hipchat": true // if true, sends result to HipChat
    },
    path: '' // path to the directory where to check
}

moduleVersionChecker(params).then(function(results){
    // After all output was rendered and sent to the HipChat (and/or console)
    // Do something else with detailed results here
});

Results will be an object that looks like this:

{ 
    when: { 
        moduleName: 'when',
        homepage: 'http://cujojs.com',
        error: undefined,
        latest: '3.7.7',
        installed: '3.7.7',
        isInstalled: '3.7.7',
        notInstalled: false,
        packageWanted: '3.7.7',
        packageJson: '^3.7.7',
        isPrivate: undefined,
        devDependency: false,
        usedInScripts: undefined,
        mismatch: false,
        semverValidRange: '>=3.7.7 <4.0.0',
        semverValid: '3.7.7',
        easyUpgrade: true,
        bump: null,
        unused: false 
    } 
}
