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 🙏

CLI

The packager is distributed on NPM as a CLI, you can install it:

# pnpm
pnpm add -D @crabnebula/packager
# yarn
yarn add -D @crabnebula/packager
# npm
npm i -D @crabnebula/packager

You then need to configure your app so the CLI can recognize it. Configuration can be done in Packager.toml or packager.json in your project or packager key in packager.json Once, you are done configuring your app, run:

# pnpm
pnpm packager
# yarn
yarn packager
# npm
npx packager

Configuration

By default, the packager reads its configuration from Packager.toml or packager.json if it exists, and from packager.json key in packager.json, You can also specify a custom configuration using the -c/--config cli argument.

For a full list of configuration options, see https://docs.rs/cargo-packager/latest/cargo_packager/config/struct.Config.html.

You could also use the schema file from GitHub to validate your configuration or have auto completions in your IDE.

Building your application before packaging

By default, the packager doesn't build your application, so if your app requires a compilation step, the packager has an option to specify a shell command to be executed before packaing your app, beforePackagingCommand.

Library

The packager is also a library that you can import and integrate into your tooling.
