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 🙏

🚀 Quick Start

1. Installation

# Global installation (available after release)
npm i -g mp-nexus-cli

# Local development (after cloning repository)
git clone https://github.com/your-org/mp-nexus-cli.git
cd mp-nexus-cli
npm install
npm run build

✅ Ready for Production: All core functionality is stable and tested. Perfect for production use with Taro + WeChat Mini Programs.

2. Initialize Configuration

Run in your mini-program project root directory:

nexus init

This will interactively create a mp-nexus.config.js configuration file.

Or manually create the configuration file:

// mp-nexus.config.js
module.exports = {
  projectType: 'taro',        // or 'uni-app', can be omitted for auto-detection
  platform: 'weapp',          // target platform: weapp/alipay/tt/qq
  appId: 'wx1234567890abcd',  // replace with your real AppID
  privateKeyPath: './private.key',
  projectPath: '.',
  outputDir: 'dist/weapp',
  ciOptions: {
    // advanced options passed to miniprogram-ci
  },
  notify: {
    webhook: '' // optional: webhook for Feishu/DingTalk/WeChatWork notifications
  }
}

3. Common Commands

# Preview: build + generate QR code (terminal rendering)
nexus preview --mode dev --desc "test preview"

# Deploy: build + upload as new version
nexus deploy --mode prod --desc "release: v1.2.3" --ver 1.2.3

# Language selection: English interface
nexus --lang en --help

# Language selection: Chinese interface

🏗️ Architecture Design

Overall Architecture

mp-nexus-cli uses layered architecture with adapter pattern for multi-framework and multi-platform support:

CLI Command Layer
    ↓
Orchestrator
    ↓
Framework Adapters (Taro/uni-app) ← → Platform Adapters (weapp/alipay/...)
    ↓
Build Output → miniprogram-ci / Platform CI

Core Components

  • CLI Layer: Command parsing and parameter validation
  • Orchestrator: Coordinates detection → config loading → build → preview/upload → result output
  • Framework Adapters: Handle detection and compilation of different framework projects
  • Platform Adapters: Handle calls to corresponding platform CI interfaces
  • Integration Services: Config loading, Git information, notifications, logging

📁 Example Projects

Repository includes minimal skeletons for CLI behavior verification:

  • examples/taro/: Taro project skeleton with configuration examples
  • examples/uni/: uni-app project skeleton with configuration examples

Usage:

cd examples/taro
nexus preview --mode dev --desc "Taro example preview"

cd ../uni
nexus deploy --mode prod --desc "uni-app example deployment" --ver 0.1.0

Note: Example directories are placeholder skeletons, please verify in real projects.

🔧 Troubleshooting

Build Failures (Taro/uni-app)

  • Confirm local framework build commands work independently
  • Use --verbose for detailed logs
  • Check Node.js version and dependency installation
  • On Windows, be aware of path and shell differences

CI Call Failures (miniprogram-ci)

  • Check if appId and privateKeyPath are correct
  • Confirm outputDir points to correct mini-program build output
  • Upgrade/match miniprogram-ci version

Preview QR Code Not Displaying

  • Confirm terminal supports ASCII rendering
  • Use --verbose to see QR code generation path and error details

Git Information Not Auto-injected

  • Confirm repository has valid commits
  • Or manually pass --desc, --ver parameters

🚀 GitHub Actions CI Example

Add .github/workflows/preview.yml to your project repository:

name: MiniProgram Preview

on:
  workflow_dispatch:
  pull_request:
    branches: [ main ]

jobs:
  preview:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v4
        with:
          node-version: 18
      - run: npm ci
      - run: npm run build --if-present
      - name: Preview
        env:
          MP_APP_ID: ${{ secrets.MP_APP_ID }}
          MP_PRIVATE_KEY: ${{ secrets.MP_PRIVATE_KEY }}
        run: |
          echo "$MP_PRIVATE_KEY" > private.key
          npx mp-nexus-cli preview --mode dev --desc "CI preview $GITHUB_SHA"

Tip: Store MP_APP_ID and MP_PRIVATE_KEY in repository Secrets.
