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 shortcut installer for packages and their types

Readme

tins

tins and tuns (for type installer and type uninstaller, respectively) are quick ways to install and uninstall packages.

If they detect that you're using types in your projects (e.g.: using or installing the typescript module or any @types/* module in your dependencies or devDependencies, or you have a tsconfig.json file in your module root), they also install or uninstall the types of that package.

It's intelligent enough to not install the @types/ package for types embedded in the main package, and to use the same package manager as you (npm or yarn).

Also, it never fails if it doesn't find a package in a list of many.

Usage

tins is fairly minimalistic for now. PRs welcome!

$ tins <packages...> [--dev]
$ tuns <packages...>

Example

$ tins lodash

# In a project using typescript and yarn, that's equivalent to
$ yarn add lodash && yarn add --dev @types/lodash
# or if you are using npm
$ npm install lodash -S && npm install @types/lodash -D

# And the same for tuns, but uninstalling instead of installing
$ tuns lodash

# For more options, see
$ tins --help

Installing

# To only use once
$ npx tins <packages...>
$ npx -p tins tuns <packages...>

# To properly install
$ yarn global add tins
# or
$ npm install -g tins
