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 🙏

A component installation CLI

Readme

Sparks UI

A component installation CLI. Sparks UI allows you to easily add pre-built components to your project.

Installation

# Install globally
npm install -g sparks-ui

# Or use with npx
npx sparks-ui <command>

Usage

Initialize a project

npx sparks-ui init

This will guide you through setting up your project with Sparks UI. You'll be asked about your preferred:

  • Components directory
  • Utils directory
  • Framework (React, Vue, etc.)
  • Styling method (Tailwind, CSS, etc.)
  • TypeScript usage

Add a component

npx sparks-ui add <component-id>

or

npx sparks-ui add https://sparks-dev-api-547bb48bc25a.herokuapp.com/components/button

This will fetch the component from the registry and install it into your project.

List available components

npx sparks-ui list

To filter by category:

npx sparks-ui list --category ui

Component Registry

Components are hosted at https://sparks-dev-api-547bb48bc25a.herokuapp.com/components. Each component has:

  • Metadata (JSON)
  • Source files
  • Documentation
  • Usage examples

Creating Your Own Components

You can create your own components and host them on your own registry. The component metadata format is:

{
  "id": "component-id",
  "name": "Component Name",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "Component description",
  "author": "Your Name",
  "documentation": "URL to documentation",
  "category": "ui",
  "dependencies": {
    "npm": {
      "package-name": "^version"
    }
  },
  "files": [
    {
      "path": "components/component-id/file.tsx",
      "url": "URL to file content"
    },
    {
      "path": "utils/utils.ts",
      "url": "URL to utility file"
    }
  ],
  "usage": "Example usage code",
  "postInstall": "Post-installation instructions"
}
