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

simple-pack

simple-pack is my personal build tool for react apps, pretty much similar to create-react-app but less bloated.

While this build tool is working (I use this everyday), I don't recommend using it in production though. You can use this for learning purposes, or for kickstarting pet or prototype projects. If you want to deploy to production, I recommend using create-react-app, nwb. You can simply copy your source files.

Features

  • Webpack 4
  • multi build options (react app, library, and backend via Netlify Lambda)
  • supports proxy. Redirect requests to your node api server.
  • Uses the latest Babel 7 that allows you to target specific browser versions. If you target only the latest browser, this means less babel plugins will need to be installed
  • Built-in post css
  • *one time global install (makes your project folder leaner)
  • Netlify lambda support. Now you have one build tool to compile react and node js scripts.
  • 68 mb install size.
  • support for assets/images in css via file-loader
  • supports url rewrite in dev't mode via historyApiFallback

Why I created this?

*the problem I have with create-react-app is that it installs react-scripts everytime I create a new project, taking up more hard drive space, and time to install. If you work on multiple projects, this could become a hassle. This is why I decided to create my own build tool.

To use

install globally (recommended):

npm i -g @codiechanel/simple-pack

then go to your project folder and simply run:

simple-pack

It assumes the following:

  • Your src folder is located at ./src
  • your build folder is located at ./dist

to install locally (not recommended):

npm i @codiechanel/simple-pack

However, if you have multiple projects, then npm installing this everytime would eat up a lot of space, which defeats the purpose of this build tool which was designed to be installed globally.

Plugins
