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 🙏

Note: I would love to hear from the people downloading this package about their reasons and what improvements they would like to see. Feel free to contact me at [email protected]

Usage

Require the module for an instance of utilityFileSystem

Example 1: Write some content to a file

var utility = require('./utilityFileSystem');

//create few files...
utility.export('./sample.txt','content...');

Output:

Created file: ./sample.txt

Example 2: Read the contents of a file

var utility = require('./utilityFileSystem');

utility.readFile("./sample.txt");

Output:

Reading file contents from ./sample.txt

Example 3: Read the contents of a folder

var utility = require('./utilityFileSystem');

utility.readFolder("./package.json");
utility.readFolder("./sample");

Output:

./package.json Target exists, but it is not a folder...use utility.readFile() instead.
./sample Folder exists and its contents are: test.txt,test1.txt,test2.txt,test3.txt,test4.txt

Example 4: Log files

var obj = {jimmy: "chou"};
utility.logger(obj);

Output:

{"jimmy":"chou"}
Created file: ./logs/2017-11-06T02:00:29.297Z.txt

Tests

To run the test suite, first install any dependencies and then run npm test:

npm install
npm test

Things to note

The logging capability is aware of the process running. For example, if there is an existing logging file, any new instance of fileUtility will append to the existing.
