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 🙏

Create Directed Graphs with webpack stats.

Readme

🧙‍♂️ Widzard

Think Madge mixed with Webpack and you've got the idea.

I got bored one day and decided I wanted to make a graph from my webpack builds output, this is that, enjoy!

$ npm i -d widzard
$ yarn add -d widzard

📈 Graphviz

Graphviz is currently required, though I'm hoping to change this via the use of Dagre.

.widzardrc

There are a number of settings that can be passed via the .rc file, here is the default object:

{
	"overwriteGraphType": true,
	"includeNpm": false,
	"noDependencyColor": "#FAD000",
	"cyclicNodeColor": "#EC3A37F5",
	"graphVizPath": false,
	"graphVisOptions": {
		"G": {
			"bgcolor": "#1E1E3F",
			"compound": true,
			"concentrate": true,
			"rankdir": "LR",
			"layout": "dot",
			"splines": "ortho",
			"outputorder": "nodefirst",
			"margin": 0.2
		},
		"E": {
			"color": "#9effff",
			"constraint": true,
			"decorate": false,
			"style": "dashed"
		},
		"N": {
			"fontname": "sans-serif",
			"fontsize": "14px",
			"color": "#9effff",
			"shape": "box",
			"style": "rounded",
			"height": 0,
			"fontcolor": "#9effff",
			"margin": 0.5
		},
		"type": "svg"
	}
}

Note all Graphvis options are subject to change if and when we move away from Graphvis, until that time any attribute can be passed to either the Graph, Edges or Nodes, a full reference of what attributes are available can be found here.
