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 🙏

Development

On your machine, we can initialize some data store dependencies to facilitate integration test.

Mocha Integration Test

Creates a docker compose environment with Elasticsearch and Postgres with a container testing code in watch mode.

make run

Install Packages

Removes node_modules folder and reinstalls from shrinkwrap or package.json

make install

Create New Shrinkwrap From Scratch

Removes node_modules folder and npm_shrinkwrap.json and recreates from package.json using the latest from npm.

make clean

Test with Mocha

Initiate mocha in watch mode on your local machine. This will not boot up any docker resources so your integration test will fail. But if you have postgres and elasticsearch containers running and hosted correctly, then these test will work.

make test

Maintenance

Docker Build

Docker image build process for containerizing code and test.

make docker-build
