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 🙏

simple-vfs

v1.0.0

Published

Simple virtual file system, designed for file transformation pipelines

Readme

Simple virtual file system

Maintains a config object with dirs and files

this.config = {
  opts,
  dirs: {},
  files: {}
}

File operations

  • async copy(srcPath, targetPath)

  • async fileExists(filePath)

  • async makeDir(dirPath)

  • async readFile(filePath)

  • async writeFile(filePath, data)

  • toString() returns lastWritten filePath

  • clear() - clears file system

State

Maintains a lastWritten object which contains the last written file object (filePath and data)

Also maintains a files object, with entries for each file and a dirs object, with entries for each folder.

Copy

Copy will try to copy (via vfs writeFile) directly from vfs file via readFile. If no such vfs file is present, it will copy "on disk" file content to target path in vfs (also via vfs writeFile).

Files

The files object has an entry for each file name generated. The value of each entry is a lastWritten object with filePath and data

  async writeFile(filePath, data) {
    let lastWritten = {
      filePath,
      data
    }
    this.config.files[filePath] = lastWritten
    this.config.lastWritten = lastWritten
  }

Files entries

The files object would look like this:

 {
   'app/services/add/Readme.md': {
     filePath: 'app/services/add/Readme.md'
     data: 'addition'
   },
   'app/services/mul/Readme.md': {
     filePath: 'app/services/mul/Readme.md'
     data: 'multiplication'
   }
 }

Testing

$ ava or $ npm test

Coverage tests

$ nyc ava or $ npm test:coverage

Scoped lerna

To update dependencies of a single project:

remove package.json.lock

Delete out all module dependencies in /node_modules

$ lerna clean --scope @tecla5/vfs

Bootstrap package, by installing/linking new modules

$ lerna bootstrap --scope @tecla5/vfs

This should also create a brand new package.json.lock

Lerna quick update

$ npm run lerna:update
# lerna info ...

Update npm dependencies

npm-check-updates

Install CLI binary globally

npm i -g npm-check-updates

Update project dependencies:

$ ncu -ua
