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 🙏

Recursively get list of files in the build cache

Readme

Whats in the Cache

Check whats in your cache

Install

npm install whats-in-the-cache

Usage

Add the package to your project and write a small build script.

// check-cache.js
const path = require('path')
const getCacheInfo = require('whats-in-the-cache')

const MY_BUILD_DIR = path.resolve('build')
const NETLIFY_CACHE_DIR = '/opt/build/cache'
const OUTPUT_PATH = path.join(MY_BUILD_DIR, 'cache-output.json')

getCacheInfo({
  cacheDirectory: NETLIFY_CACHE_DIR,
  outputPath: OUTPUT_PATH,
}).then((files) => {
  console.log('files', files)
}).catch((e) => {
  console.log(e)
})

getCacheInfo takes 2 args

  • cacheDirectory - where the cache directory lives
  • outputPath (optional) - where the manifest of files in the cache will be written to

Then inside of your projects build steps, run the script on a pre or post build hook.

{
  "name": "your-project",
  "scripts": {
    "build": "npm run xyz",
    "postbuild": "node check-cache.js"
  }
}

After the build is complete, download the built assets and inspect your cache manifest.

In netlify you can download the build with this icon
