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-helpers-engine

@dhis2/cli-style on npm travis.com build Conventional Commits semantic-release Greenkeeper badge

This is the engine used by plugin modules in the @dhis2/cli commandline interface ecosystem.

A few common utilities:

These helpers assume a node.js CLI context. There are other under-the-hood helpers as well, but they are currently undocumented.

const { reporter, chalk, prompt, exec } = require('@dhis2/cli-helpers-engine')

// These are wrappers around stdout and stderr which respect the --verbose and --quiet flags.  Some reporting options also prefix the line with a tag - see lib/reporter.js for all the options
reporter.print('This is a test') // Only printed if --quiet is not passed
reporter.print(chalk.dim('This is a less important test'))
reporter.print(
    chalk.green(
        `Chalk can be used to ${chalk.bold(
            'style text'
        )} which will be printed to the console.`
    )
)
reporter.info('This is something important') // prints to stdout in cyan: This is something important
reporter.error('An error occurred') // prints to stderr in red: [ERROR] An error occured
reporter.warn('Something non-critical went wrong') // prints to stderr in yellow: [WARNING] Something non-critical went wrong
reporter.debug('This will only be printed when --verbose is passed') // prints to stdout if --verbose in dim gray: [DEBUG] This will only be printed when --verbose is passed

// Use prompt to ask the user for input - it is a thin wrapper around `inquirer.prompt`, see https://github.com/SBoudrias/Inquirer.js
const answers = await prompt([
    {
        type: 'list',
        name: 'theme',
        message: 'What do you want to do?',
        choices: [
            'Order a pizza',
            'Make a reservation',
            new inquirer.Separator(),
            'Ask for opening hours',
            {
                name: 'Contact support',
                disabled: 'Unavailable at this time',
            },
            'Talk to the receptionist',
        ],
    },
    {
        type: 'list',
        name: 'size',
        message: 'What size do you need?',
        choices: ['Jumbo', 'Large', 'Standard', 'Medium', 'Small', 'Micro'],
        filter: function (val) {
            return val.toLowerCase()
        },
        when: function (answers) {
            return answers.theme === 'Order a pizza'
        },
    },
])
if (answers.theme === 'Order a pizza') {
    reporter.info(`Ordering a ${answers.size} pizza`)
} else {
    reporter.info(`Ok, let's ${answers.theme}`)
}

// Exec a function in the local shell environment, pass some arguments, set the current working directory, and capture the output as a string

const textContents = await exec({
    cmd: 'cat',
    args: ['./test.txt'],
    cwd: './myDirectory',
    captureOut: true,
})

There's a lot more you can do with these utilities - check the source code in the ./libs folder or the many CLI module examples at dhis2/cli for inspiration.

How to use the d2 Cache

Any CLI command instantiated with @dhis2/cli-helpers-engine will have an injected getCache argument. This is a powerful, simple cache engine for downloading, caching, and accessing files in the global d2 cache.

The most handy method of the d2 Cache is get, which allows the developer to fetch a remote URL, optionally extract it if the download is a zip file, and store it in the cache. If a copy already exists in the cache, the download is skipped (unless force: true is specified):

const { makeEntryPoint } = require('@dhis2/cli-helpers-engine')

const handler = async ({ force, getCache }) => {
    const cache = getCache()

    const url =
        'https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/list/1Fd-vBoJPjp5wdCyJc7d_LOJPOg5uqdzVa3Eq5-VFR-g/2/public/values?alt=json'

    // This will download a json file listing all countries which implement DHIS2 and store it in the cache.
    // It will *always* be re-downloaded, but if the download fails and a previous cache exists life goes on.
    const dataCachePath = 'dhis2-in-action-countries.json'
    try {
        await cache.get(url, dataCachePath, { force: true })
    } catch (e) {
        const exists = await cache.exists(dataCachePath)
        if (!exists) {
            reporter.error('Failed to download new in-action data, and no cached data exists')
            process.exit(1)
        }
        const modifiedTime = (await cache.stat(dataCachePath)).mtime.toISOString()
        reporter.debug(`Failed to update in-action data cache, using previously-cached data from ${modifiedTime}`)
    }

    // And now an example for a zip file
    const dbUrl =
        'https://databases.dhis2.org/sierra-leone/2.35.0/dhis2-db-sierra-leone.sql.gz'

    // This will download the demo database for 2.35.0 and store it in the cache.  The 'raw' option means the .gz file will NOT be unpacked, but rather stored directly on disk.  If a version of this file already exists in the cache, it will not be fetched again, unless the `force` option is passed to this command.
    await cache.get(dbUrl, 'databases/2.35.0.sql.gz', { raw: true, force: force })

    // List all currently-downloaded databases

    const dirStat = (await cache.exists('databases'))
        ? await cache.stat('databases')
        : null
    if (dirStat && dirStat.children) {
        Object.entries(dirStat.children)
            .forEach(([name, stat]) => {
                reporter.print(`${chalk.bold(name)} (${stat.size})`)
            })
    } else {
        reporter.print('No databases found')
    }
}

const command = {
    builder: yargs => {
        yargs.option('force', {
            alias: 'f',
            type: 'boolean',
            description: 'force re-download of all cached items',
            default: false
        }
    },
    handler
})
makeEntryPoint(command)
