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

web-build-utils

web-build-utils provides small, focused helpers used by the web build tools packages in this repository. You can use it directly if you need filename validation or simple percentage formatting.

Installation

Install the package with your preferred package manager.

pnpm add web-build-utils
# or
npm install web-build-utils
# or
yarn add web-build-utils

Usage

Import the helpers you need and call them in your build tooling code.

import { isSafeFilename, toPercent } from 'web-build-utils';

const fileName = '[email protected]';
const isSafe = isSafeFilename(fileName, true);

const ratio = 0.1234;
const percent = toPercent(ratio, 2);

API reference

The package exports the following helpers.

isSafeFilename

Validates a filename by checking the basename against a safe character set.

isSafeFilename(path: string, log?: boolean): boolean

Use these arguments:

  • path: The filename or file path to validate.
  • log: When true, logs a warning for unsafe filenames.

Returns true when the basename is safe. Returns false when the input is empty, starts with a dot, or contains invalid characters.

toPercent

Converts a decimal number into a percentage with a fixed number of decimal places.

toPercent(num: number, fractionDigits?: number): number

Use these arguments:

  • num: The number to convert. For example, 0.125 becomes 12.5.
  • fractionDigits: The number of decimal places to keep. Defaults to 0.

Returns the percentage value as a number.

Notes

isSafeFilename validates only the basename of a path. It rejects empty values and names starting with a dot. Allowed characters are letters, numbers, underscores, dots, hyphens, at signs, and dollar signs.
