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 🙏

CommentIt - Comment Extraction Library

Extract comment blocks from your files.

Features

  • Simple to use
  • Extracts single- and multiline- comment blocks
  • Supports a range of languages covering the top 25 languages used in GitHub (+ more)

Basic Usage

import { extractComments } from "@dev-build-deploy/comment-it";

const file = "README.md";

// Check if the file is supported by CommentIt
if (isSupported(file)) {
  const config = {
    /** Only consider comments in the first ..n lines */
    maxLines: 20,
    /** Group sequential singleline comments into a comment block */
    groupSingleline: true,
  };

  // Retrieve each comment block using an iterator
  for await (const comment of extractComments(file), /* OPTIONAL */ config) {
    console.log(JSON.stringify(comment, null, 2));
  }
}

The above example will result in:

{
  "type": "multiline",
  "format": { "start": "<!--", "end": "-->"},
  "contents": [
    {
      "line":   1,
      "column": { "start": 0, "end":  4 },
      "raw":    "<!--",
      "value":  ""
    },
    {
      "line":   2,
      "column": { "start": 0, "end": 64 },
      "raw":    "SPDX-FileCopyrightText: 2023 Kevin de Jong <[email protected]>",
      "value":  "SPDX-FileCopyrightText: 2023 Kevin de Jong <[email protected]>"
    },
    {
      "line":   3,
      "column": { "start": 0, "end": 41 },
      "raw":    "SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT",
      "value":  "SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT"
    },
    {
      "line":  4,
      "column": { "start": 0, "end":  3 },
      "raw": "-->",
      "value": ""
    }
  ]
}

{
  "type": "multiline",
  "format": { "start": "<!--", "end": "-->" },
  "contents": [
    {
      "line": 16,
      "column": { "start": 0, "end": 45 },
      "raw": "<!-- Hee hee, hid a comment block in here -->",
      "value": "Hee hee, hid a comment block in here"
    }
  ]
}

Custom Language(s)

You can use the addLanguage() function to add new languages to the validation set:

import { addLanguage } from "@dev-build-deploy/comment-it";

addLanguage({
  name: "Pingu Language",
  filenames: [".pingu"],
  extensions: [".noot"],
  singleline: "{%NOOTNOOT%}",
});

The same function can also be used to override a (default) configuration. For example, the following code snippet replaces the comment prefix from ; to # for files with the.ini file extension:

import { addLanguage } from "@dev-build-deploy/comment-it";

addLanguage({
  name: "Custom ini",
  extensions: [".ini"],
  singleline: "#",
});
