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 🙏

Readme

@itk-wasm/dam

Data Archive Manager (dam): a tool to prepare and download source code repository testing, example, and website asset data.

Data is stored in .tar.gz archives and can be hosted at multiple, redundant https URLs. A simpler, more flexible alternative to Git LFS, etc.

Features

  • Download and unpack testing and example data .tar.gz archives
  • CLI for NPM scripts
  • Verify with an expected hash compatible with web3.storage
  • Cache archive downloads based on the expected hash
  • Support for multiple storage urls
  • Automatic retries

Installation

npm install -g @itk-wasm/dam

Usage

Store your data in a directory. For example:

> mkdir -p test/data
> touch test/data/file1.txt
> touch test/data/file2.txt

Pack the current version of the data into a compressed archive:

> dam pack test/data test/data.tar.gz
CID: bafkreibetv3747ysuplkqkwlomeaao3nk3uak7wtzgrgmrtvmah5jdyawy

Upload the test/data.tar.gz file to hosting services such as web3.storage, GitHub Releases, AWS s3, a local http server, etc. For web3.storage, upload with the w3 CLI:

> npm install --global @web3-storage/w3
> w3 token
> w3 put --name dam-test-data --no-wrap test/data.tar.gz
# Packed 1 file (0.0MB)
# bafkreibetv3747ysuplkqkwlomeaao3nk3uak7wtzgrgmrtvmah5jdyawy
⁂ Stored 1 file
⁂ https://w3s.link/ipfs/bafkreibetv3747ysuplkqkwlomeaao3nk3uak7wtzgrgmrtvmah5jdyawy

Note the --no-wrap flag.

In your NPM scripts, add

> dam download -v test/data test/data.tar.gz bafkreibetv3747ysuplkqkwlomeaao3nk3uak7wtzgrgmrtvmah5jdyawy https://w3s.link/ipfs/bafkreibetv3747ysuplkqkwlomeaao3nk3uak7wtzgrgmrtvmah5jdyawy

If the data is stored at multiple locations, add all URLs to the end of the download subcommand.

The first time this command is called the data will be downloaded and unpacked.

When data updates are required, repeat the pack / upload process, and update the content identifer (CID) hash.
