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 🙏

Args - Boost

build status npm version

A convention based argument parsing and formatting library, with strict validation checks. It is not a command line interface.

import { parse } from '@boost/args';

interface Options {
  help: boolean;
  logLevel: 'info' | 'error' | 'warn';
  version: boolean;
}

const { command, errors, options, params, rest } = parse<Options>(process.argv.slice(2), {
  commands: ['build', 'install', 'update'],
  options: {
    help: {
      default: false,
      description: 'Show a help menu',
      type: 'boolean',
      short: 'H',
    },
    logLevel: {
      choices: ['info', 'error', 'warn'],
      default: 'info',
      description: 'Customize logging level',
    },
    version: {
      default: false,
      description: 'Show the version number',
      type: 'boolean',
      short: 'V',
    },
  },
});

Features

  • Commands and sub-commands: cmd, cmd:sub
  • Options (long and short) that set a value(s): --foo value, --foo=value, -f value, -f=value
    • Camel (preferred) or kebab cased option names.
  • Flags (boolean options) that take no value: --bar, -B
    • With implicit negation support: --no-bar
  • Parameters that act as standalone values: foo bar baz
    • Can be marked as required.
  • Rest arguments that are passed to subsequent scripts (aggregated after --): foo -- bar
  • Supports string, number, boolean, and list based values, with the addition of:
    • Single value based on a list of possible choices.
    • Multiple values with optional arity count requirements.
  • Group multiple short options under a single argument: -fBp
    • Increment a counter each time a short option is found in a group.
  • Strict parser and validation checks, allowing for informative interfaces.
    • Custom option and param validation for increased accuracy.
