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 🙏

Organize Package JSON (organize-pkg)

A tool to assist in creating a package.json file optimized for production environments.

Installation

Install the package as a development dependency:

npm install organize-pkg --save-dev

Flags

  • -version|-v {string} - Override the package version. (since v1.3.2)

    # Override name and version while producing a dist package.json
    orgpkg -n my-lib -v 1.3.2 -p -o ./dist
  • -help|-h {boolean} - Show CLI help and exit. (since v1.3.2)

    orgpkg -h
    organize-pkg -help
  • -name|-n {string} - Change the package name if needed. (since v1.3.1)

    # e.g., original package name: "some-package-dev"
    orgpkg -n "some-package" -p
    # or
    orgpkg -name "some-package" -p
  • -prod|-p {boolean} - Apply production output. Can omit the -out|-o option. (output to ./dist)

  • -keys|-k {string} - Keys to be removed.

  • -out|-o {string} - Specify the output path if needed.

  • -keepDevs|-kd {string} - Specify the key names to be retained in devDependencies. Valid with the -prod|-p flag. (since v1.3.0)

    # Keep `devDependencies/some-entryName` and `devDependencies/some-entryName2`
    orgpkg -kd "some-entryName,some-entryName2" -p
    # or
    # Keep `devDependencies/some-entryName`
    orgpkg -kd some-entryName -p

Usage

organize-pkg -keys "<key>,<key>,..." -out ./output.json
# or
orgpkg -k "<key>,<key>,..." -out ./output.json
# help
orgpkg -h

Examples

  • Version 1.2.4: When specifying the -prod|-p option, the -out|-o option can be omitted.

    # Output to "./dist/package.json"
    orgpkg -k "dependencies/some-module,bin/organize-pkg" -p
  • Version 1.3.2: Add -version|-v and -help|-h.

    # Show help
    orgpkg -h
    # Override name and version
    orgpkg -n some-pkg -v 1.3.2 -p -o ./dist
  • Version 1.2.3: Support for commands like:

    orgpkg -k "dependencies/some-module" -p -o ./dist
  • Version 1.2.2: Synonym command orgpkg

    orgpkg -p -o ./output.json [-k "<key>,<key>,..."]
  • Since version 1.2.1, shorthand options are available.

# File name is output as "./dist/package.json"
organize-pkg -keys "defs,//" -out ./dist
organize-pkg -k "defs,//" -o ./dist

# File name is output as "./dist/output.json"
organize-pkg -keys "defs,//" -out ./dist/output.json
organize-pkg -k "defs,//" -o ./dist/output.json

Removing Development Dependencies

To delete the devDependencies property required during development:

organize-pkg -keys "devDependencies" -out ./dist

Removing Any Property

To remove any property:

organize-pkg -keys "defs,//" -out ./dist

Skipping Scripts Like "postinstall"

When installing the desired module with (yarn|npm) install, specify the "-prod" option to remove properties such as "scripts", "devDependencies", "//<any text>?".

The value of the "-keys" option will be optional, and if specified, it will be merged.

organize-pkg -prod -out ./dist [-keys "defs"]
organize-pkg -p -o ./dist [-k "defs"]
