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

contentful-typescript-codegen

Forked from intercom/contentful-typescript-codegen to add the following:

  • package updates, as recommended by npm audit
  • This PR: https://github.com/intercom/contentful-typescript-codegen/pull/35
  • A change to tsconfig, removing declarationDir. This makes it easier to consume this package from other libraries.

Generate typings from your Contentful environment.

  • Content Types become interfaces.
  • Locales (and your default locale) become string types.
  • Assets and Rich Text link to Contentful's types.

At Intercom, we use this in our website to increase developer confidence and productivity, ensure that breaking changes to our Content Types don't cause an outage, and because it's neat.

Usage

yarn add --dev contentful-typescript-codegen

Then, add the following to your package.json:

{
  // ...
  "scripts": {
    "contentful-typescript-codegen": "contentful-typescript-codegen --output @types/generated/contentful.d.ts"
  }
}

Feel free to change the output path to whatever you like.

Next, the codegen will expect you to have created a file called getContentfulEnvironment.js in the root of your project directory, and it should export a promise that resolves with your Contentful environment.

The reason for this is that you can do whatever you like to set up your Contentful Management Client. Here's an example:

const contentfulManagement = require("contentful-management")

module.exports = function() {
  const contentfulClient = contentfulManagement.createClient({
    accessToken: process.env.CONTENTFUL_MANAGEMENT_API_ACCESS_TOKEN,
  })

  return contentfulClient
    .getSpace(process.env.CONTENTFUL_SPACE_ID)
    .then(space => space.getEnvironment(process.env.CONTENTFUL_ENVIRONMENT))
}

Command line options

Usage
  $ contentful-typescript-codegen --output <file> <options>

Options
  --output,      -o  Where to write to
  --poll,        -p  Continuously refresh types
  --interval N,  -i  The interval in seconds at which to poll (defaults to 15)

Example output

Here's an idea of what the output will look like for a Content Type:

interface IBlogPostFields {
  /** Title */
  title: string

  /** Body */
  body: Document

  /** Author link */
  author: IAuthor

  /** Image */
  image: Asset

  /** Published? */
  published: boolean | null

  /** Tags */
  tags: string[]

  /** Blog CTA variant */
  ctaVariant: "new-cta" | "old-cta"
}

/**
 * A blog post.
 */
export interface IBlogPost extends Entry<IBlogPostFields> {}

You can see that a few things are handled for you:

  • Documentation comments are automatically generated from Contentful descriptions.
  • Links, like author, are resolved to other TypeScript interfaces.
  • Assets are handled properly.
  • Validations on symbols and text fields are expanded to unions.
  • Non-required attributes automatically have | null appended to their type.
  • The output is formatted using your Prettier config.
