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 🙏

Quickly check if contents of node_modules correspond to npm-shrinkwrap.json

If you use npm shrinkwrap, you may want to check very quickly (e.g. as a build step) whether anything in node_modules is missing, or out-of-date. This tiny module does just that. With the --install option, it is similar to npm install but much faster.

Installation

npm install --save-dev npm-check-shrinkwrap

Usage

$ npm-check-shrinkwrap [--help] [-C] [--all] [--install]

When run with no arguments, it examines the versions your top-level node_modules, and your npm-shrinkwrap.json file. It reports any missing modules (those listed in npm-shrinkwrap.json, but missing from node_modules), mismatching versions, and unwanted modules (those in node_modules that aren't in npm-shrinkwrap.json).

With --all option, it will list all modules with matching versions as well.

With --install option, it will run npm install --no-save module@version ... for all missing or mismatching modules it finds. This is faster than plain npm install.

This works nicely with shrinkpack: if you have the correct tar archives available, it will install without using the network (whereas if you run npm install module@version without specifying ALL out-of-date modules, then npm as of 3.10.10 will frustratingly fetch from the network ignoring your archives.)

If you have unwanted modules, you can either update your npm-shrinkwrap.json file (run npm shrinkwrap --dev), or you can delete unwanted packages from node_modules/. You can suppress the output of unwanted modules with --no-unwanted option.

With --no-from, only the version is considered when comparing npm-shrinkwrap.json and the installed module. This means that a package that comes from a different source will be accepted.
