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 🙏

rollup-plugin-browsersync

Overview

rollup-plugin-browsersync is a tool designed to integrate the functionality of BrowserSync with the Rollup build process. As an end-user, this plugin enhances your development workflow by automatically refreshing or reloading your web application whenever you make changes to your code.

Key Features

  1. Automatic Browser Refresh: The primary purpose of this plugin is to keep your browser in sync with your code changes in real time. When you modify and save your files, BrowserSync ensures that your browser reflects those changes immediately, eliminating the need to manually refresh the page.

  2. Seamless Integration with Rollup: This plugin works directly with Rollup, a popular module bundler for JavaScript. It hooks into the Rollup build process by starting or reloading BrowserSync when your code bundle is written.

  3. Customizable Options: You can provide custom BrowserSync options to tailor the behavior to your specific needs. This flexibility allows you to configure various aspects such as the server settings, proxy configuration, and more.

Usage Scenario

Imagine you are developing a web application and are constantly making changes to your HTML, CSS, or JavaScript files. Without rollup-plugin-browsersync, you'd typically need to stop what you're doing, switch to your browser, and press the refresh button to see your changes. This repetitive task can disrupt your flow and slow down your development process.

By using rollup-plugin-browsersync, every time you save a file, the browser refreshes automatically. This immediate feedback loop improves your productivity and allows you to quickly iterate on your designs and functionalities without leaving your code editor.

Benefits

  • Increased Development Speed: The automatic reload feature helps speed up the development cycle by reducing context switching.
  • Live Preview: You get to see your changes instantly, providing a live editing experience.
  • Convenience: Simplifies your development setup by integrating directly with Rollup, reducing the need for separate tasks or tools for browser reloading.

Conclusion

rollup-plugin-browsersync significantly enhances the efficiency and convenience of the web development process by automating browser refreshes. This tool is especially beneficial for developers who use Rollup as their module bundler, streamlining the workflow and providing a smoother, faster development experience.
