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

noddity-search

Making it easy for you to add search functionality to your Noddity blag or server.

Part of the Noddity ecosystem, lulz

Usage


var fields = {
	customParameterInMyMetadata: 10
}

var searcher = require('noddity-search')
var search = searcher(noddityButler, fields)

search('butts', function(err, posts) {
	posts.forEach(function(post) {
		console.log('found post', post.title)
	})
})

Construction

searcher(butler, [fields])

butler is a noddity-butler

fields is an optional key:boost mapping. Add any custom metadata properties you want to use, and tweak their score accordingly.

Currently, metadata.title and content are indexed with scores of 10 and 1 respectively. If you want to pass in custom indexing/boosting directions, they might look something like this:

{
	title: 20,
	tags: 50
}

The construction method returns a function to be used for searching. Explained here:

Searching

search('this text was typed into an autocomplete bae', function(err, posts) {
	console.log(posts)
})

Whatever text your funky users typed, pass it to the search function and it will be thrown at the side of the lunr index, with the resulting posts returned to you in an error-first callback.
