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 🙏

Readme

tap-closer

Simple JS "transform" tool that will call window.close or process.exit when TAP output is complete.

Useful, for example, in combination with smokestack and tape and browserify for testing npm modules in the browser:

browserify test/*.js | tap-closer | smokestack | tap-spec

Note however that this isn't specific to browserify or smokestack or tape, you can use this with any JavaScript tool that logs TAP output to your console.

NPM

CLI Usage

The CLI for tap-closer modifies your JavaScript file to capture console.log calls and work out when a TAP test is finished, closing your browser or Node process once this happens. It accepts input from stdin only, and outputs to stdout only, so you would use it like so:

cat bundle.js | tap-closer > bundle-closer.js

Using Directly

All the CLI is doing is prepending the browserified contents of instrument.js to whatever JavaScript is being piped in. You can do this yourself with the module's bundle.js once installed, e.g.:

cat node_modules/tap-closer/bundle.js bundle.js > bundle-closer.js

Though it's generally nicer/safer using the CLI :)
