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 🙏

template-toc NPM version Build Status

Middleware for generating a markdown-formatted table of contents with Template, or Template-based applications

(TOC generated by verb)

Install

Install with npm

$ npm i template-toc --save

Usage

var toc = require('template-toc');

Two Steps

1. Register the middleware

Register with templates, verb, assemble or any other application based on templates

2. Add a TOC marker

Add the following to any markdown file that should get a Table of Contents:

<!-- toc -->

Templates.js

Usage with template.js:

var Templates = require('templates');
var templates = new Templates();

Pre-render middleware

If you want the TOC to be generated before layouts are used or partials are injected into pages, use the .preRender() method.

templates.preRender(/\.md$/, toc(template));

This project's verbfile is a good example. Verb uses this middleware with .preRender() so that the generated TOC only includes "top-level" headings that are in the template, and none of the headings from partials are includes.

Post-render middleware

If you want the TOC to be generated after layouts are used or partials are injected into pages, use the .postRender() method.

templates.postRender(/\.md$/, toc(template));

Rendering templates

Once the middlware is setup, any templates with a .md extension and a <!-- toc --> comment will have a TOC injected.

templates.render('README.md', function(err, content) {
  console.log(content);
});

Visit templates for documentation.

Verb

Usage with verb:

var verb = require('verb'); // or assemble
var app = verb();

app.preRender(/\.md$/, toc(app));
// or 
app.postRender(/\.md$/, toc(app));

Visit verb for documentation.

Assemble

Usage with assemble:

var assemble = require('assemble'); 
var app = assemble();

app.preRender(/\.md$/, toc(app));
// or 
app.postRender(/\.md$/, toc(app));

Visit assemble for documentation.

Pro-tip

Escaping

If, for some reason, you need to use the <!- toc --> comment in documentation and you do not want it to be rendered, just add an extra ! after the first angle bracket, and the extra ! will be removed but the TOC will not be rendered.

<!-- toc -->
