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 🙏

Webpack Preset

Zero config webpack-powered development!

npm version npm downloads webpack channel on discord

We're all pretty tired out by Javascript and its tooling. Webpack has a metric ton of configuration options that are particularly overwhelming when starting out, and get tiring after you've set up your eleventy billionth project. This project serves to speed up a lot of the setup process involved with getting webpack up and running.

:warning: Keep in mind this tool is for quick prototyping and should not be used long-term in your projects. :warning:
Once your project has gotten big or is taken seriously enough, you should invest in a full webpack setup, tuned to your specific needs. But if you want to just crank out some code really quickly, this is the best way to get started!

Installation

Want a nice Babel ES2015 setup? Just install the package and save it to your package.json file:

npm install --save webpack-preset webpack-preset-babel

Getting Started

Webpack Preset runs a small web server on port 3000 with Webpack embedded within it. It's started via the webpack-preset binary and starts a small web server to develop against.

It will look for an entry point in your package.json's main definition, falling back to a index.js file next to your package.json file.

It also serves up a small HTML file with the Webpack bundle included and a div#root for convenience. You can use your own HTML by creating a static/index.html file and you can place any other static files in that folder.

webpack-preset can be run directly from the node_modules folder:

./node_modules/.bin/webpack-preset

Or you can add it to your NPM scripts for easy access:

"scripts": {
  "start": "webpack-preset"
}

Just run npm start and that's it! You can access the page at http://localhost:3000

Roadmap

  • [ ] Userland config options via package.json
  • [ ] More CLI options (list installed presets, install more presets)
  • [ ] Globally installable
