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 🙏

npm-add-script

programmatically add scripts entries to yr package.json file.

NPM js-standard-style Build Status

OK SO you can use --save or --save-dev to download modules and save them to yr package.json. But what if you are building a tool that generates stuff for projects and you need to be able to insert a brand new script into an existing thing? Or what if you want to just add a script entry at the command line because you've already been running and re-running the same convoluted test command for hours?!?!

NPM-ADD-SCRIPT IS HERE.

hello

CLI

To use as a cli tool, just install it globally! This is most probably what you want if you just want command line manipulation of scripts entries.

npm install -g npm-add-script

--~~===////|||||NPM-ADD-SCRIPT|||||\\\\\===~~--
           - add scripts to yr package.json's!

Options:
  -k, --key    the name of your script                                [required]
  -v, --value  your script                                            [required]
  -h, --help   Show help                                               [boolean]
  -f, --force  Override existing script entry                          [boolean]

Examples:
  npmAddScript -k test -v "node test.js"
  npmAddScript -k test -v "node test2.js" -f

API

If you're making some sort of project scaffolding tool or test library or i don't know what you can also call this from node. For example, maybe your library requires a convoluted series of manuevers to work properly, you could automagically add those commands as a scripts entry!

  var npmAddScript = require('npm-add-script')
  // do some stuff related to yr special snowflake of a node module
  npmAddScript({key: "specialSnowFlake" , value: "node special_snowflake.js"})
  npmAddScript({key: "specialSnowFlake" , value: "node specialer_snowflake.js" , force: true})
