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 🙏

shrinkwrap-check

v0.1.4

Published

Checks that package.json and npm-shrinkwrap.json are always in sync.

Readme

shrinkwrap-check

Checks that package.json and npm-shrinkwrap.json files are always in sync so you don't commit out-of-sync dependencies in your code.

Same as npm-shrinkwrap-check, but without deprecation notice.

installation

Install it globally running

$ npm install -g shrinkwrap-check

usage

In a folder that contains a package.json run the following command:

$ shrinkwrap-check

This will perform the following checks:

  • Both package.json and npm-shrinkwrap.json exist.
  • There are no dependencies in package.json that are not contained in npm-shrinkwrap.json

options

Options:
  -3, --v3       Perform check taking npm3 flat structure into account.
  -d, --dev      Check devDependencies.
  -h, --help     Show this help message.
  -v, --verbose  Run in verbose mode
  -V, --version  Outputs version

add as git hook

It is a good practice that you add shrinkwrap-check as a git hook.

To add a pre-push hook create a .git/hooks/pre-push in your repo with the following:

#!/bin/sh

shrinkwrap-check

This will prevent you from pushing out-of-sync package.json and npm-shrinkwrap.json files to your repo.
