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 🙏

Installation

Github.js is available from npm or npmcdn.

npm install github-api
<!-- just github-api source (5.3kb) -->
<script src="https://npmcdn.com/github-api/dist/GitHub.min.js"></script>

<!-- standalone (20.3kb) -->
<script src="https://npmcdn.com/github-api/dist/GitHub.bundle.min.js"></script>

## Compatibility Github.js is tested on Node:

  • 6.x
  • 5.x
  • 4.x
  • 0.12

GitHub Tools

The team behind Github.js has created a whole organization, called GitHub Tools, dedicated to GitHub and its API. In the near future this repository could be moved under the GitHub Tools organization as well. In the meantime, we recommend you to take a look at other projects of the organization.

Samples

/*
   Data can be retrieved from the API either using callbacks (as in versions < 1.0)
   or using a new promise-based API. For now the promise-based API just returns the
   raw HTTP request promise; this might change in the next version.

import GitHub from 'github-api';

let gist = gh.getGist(); // not a gist yet

   let gistJson = data;
   gist.read(function(err, gist, xhr) {
