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 🙏

Build Status

JavaScript protocol buffer schema parser and template based code generator

This project is functional and being used in real projects. But is in its early days and likely to be in a state of flux for some time.

Protocol Buffers

Protocol buffers were designed as a way to automatically serialize and deserialize data, in a fast and efficient manner. You define how you want your data to be structured in the special proto format, and then use special generated code to read and write your data.

This project focuses on using the proto schema definition as a generalized basis for code generation. Serialization / deserialization is a side effect of the generated code and this project is un-opinionated on such matters -- you may use JSON, binary data, JS Arrays, Message Pack, whatever.

To learn more about the proto buffer format, visit Google's Language Guide.

Rationale

  1. The official protoc compiler does have plugin support for customizing code generation, but the tool chain I was working with was nodejs and I wanted consistency. Also, exposing an object representation of the schema allows for other tools and analysis, for example schema validation and tests.

  2. I was unhappy with existing JS implementations. They seem to either be partially open sourced or else rely on unstructured JSON as their format in JS.
