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

parse-loose-time

Sorry for yet-another-time-parser but after spending 30+ minutes looking through npm search results I decided to implement a solution that works for my use cases...

This library should support at least these time formats:

6
630
630p
6 30
6:30a
630am
6:30am
6:30 a.m.
12a
12 am
12:11am
12p
12 pm
12:11pm
2134
21:34
21.34
21 34
6 o clock
6 o'clock
6oclock
10 to 6
10 minutes to 6
10 past 11
10 minutes past 11 a.m.
quarter to 6
a quarter past 5
half past 5
midnight
noon

but will try to make it as loose as it makes sense (ie. ignore whitespaces and weird characters).

It returns an object with the properties hour and minute (24h format):

var parseTime = require('parse-loose-time');
parseTime('630p')
// > { hour: 18, minute: 30 }
