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 🙏

ES6 template string tag for multi-line blocks of text.

This template string tag allows you to create nicely formatted text blocks which are indented to match your code.

For example, by default, this...

function x(y) {
  return `
    This ${y} is 
         some
    very fancy
         formatted
    text!
  `;
}

x('right here');

...yields...


    This right here is 
         some
    very fancy
         formatted
    text!

...when you may have wanted...

This right here is 
     some
very fancy
     formatted
text!

...but you didn't want to write...

function x(y) {
  return `This ${y} is 
     some
very fancy
     formatted
text!`;
}

x('right here');

This is what tsmlb provides: the desired result above while maintaining the more readable code in the first block!

var tsmlb = require('tsmlb');

function x(y) {
  return tsmlb`
    This ${y} is 
         some
    very fancy
         formatted
    text!
  `;
}

x('right here');

Tabs or Spaces

tsmlb supports multi-line strings indented with either spaces or tabs, but no accommodation is made for a mix of the two.

Compatibility

Support for template strings exists in Node as of 4.0.0, but this module is not tied to that engine in package.json because Babel users should be able to use it on many other platforms (including the browser).

Inspiration

If you didn't guess from the name, this module is inspired by Rod Vagg's tsml, which is similar except it takes a multi-line template string and returns a single line string. It's also very useful!
