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.

scaffolding utility scaffold-generator npm-package

npm-pkg-gen

Scaffolds an npm package with a single command

Installation

Install npm-pkg-gen with npm

npm install -g npm-pkg-gen

Or with Yarn, if you prefer that:

yarn global add npm-pkg-gen

Usage

To scaffold a package:

npg <package-name>

NOTE: You must make sure that the package name you've provided is available on the npm registry. If the package name you've provided is taken, you won't immediately get an error, but your CI job will fail later.

Once the package has been scaffolded, you need add a Github remote repo. Then, you need to create two Github repo secrets to complete the configuration:

GH_TOKEN – This is supposed to contain a Github Personal Access Token. Here's how you can make one. Make sure to make it permissive enough (might as well check all the boxes if you are unsure).
NPM_TOKEN – This one is supposed to contain an npm automation token. Check out this guide to know how to make one.

NOTE: Whenever you make a commit, you must use git cz instead of git commit.
