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 🙏

Produce universal library with webpack and es6

Downloads

Readme

template from Webpack library starter

Webpack based boilerplate for producing libraries (Input: ES6, Output: universal library)

Travis

Features

  • Webpack 4 based.
  • ES6 as a source.
  • Exports in a umd format so your library works everywhere.
  • ES6 test setup with Mocha and Chai.
  • Linting with ESLint.

Process

ES6 source files
       |
       |
    webpack
       |
       +--- babel, eslint
       |
  ready to use
     library
  in umd format

Have in mind that you have to build your library before publishing. The files under the lib folder are the ones that should be distributed.

Getting started

  1. Setting up the name of your library
  • Open webpack.config.js file and change the value of libraryName variable.
  • Open package.json file and change the value of main property so it matches the name of your library.
  1. Build your library
  • Run yarn install (recommended) or npm install to get the project's dependencies
  • Run yarn build or npm run build to produce minified version of your library.
  1. Development mode
  • Having all the dependencies installed run yarn dev or npm run dev. This command will generate an non-minified version of your library and will run a watcher so you get the compilation on file change.
  1. Running the tests
  • Run yarn test or npm run test

Scripts

  • yarn build or npm run build - produces production version of your library under the lib folder
  • yarn dev or npm run dev - produces development version of your library and runs a watcher
  • yarn test or npm run test - well ... it runs the tests :)
  • yarn test:watch or npm run test:watch - same as above but in a watch mode

Readings

Misc

An example of using dependencies that shouldn’t be resolved by webpack, but should become dependencies of the resulting bundle

In the following example we are excluding React and Lodash:

{
  devtool: 'source-map',
  output: {
    path: '...',
    libraryTarget: 'umd',
    library: '...'
  },
  entry: '...',
  ...
  externals: {
    react: 'react'
    // Use more complicated mapping for lodash.
    // We need to access it differently depending
    // on the environment.
    lodash: {
      commonjs: 'lodash',
      commonjs2: 'lodash',
      amd: '_',
      root: '_'
    }
  }
}
