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

Install using npm. Add the -g flag to install globally so you can use it from any terminal.

npm install -g @jsdevtools/globify

Usage

The command-line interface is identical to browserify and watchify. In fact, globify simply passes your arguments straight to browserify or watchify (after expanding the glob pattern).

globify <entry files glob>  [options]

Options:

  <entry files glob>

    Glob pattern of entry files. Don't forget to wrap the glob pattern in quotes,
    otherwise some shells (like bash) will pre-expand the glob.

  --outfile=FILE, -o FILE

    If outfile is a file, then a single bundle will be created.  If it's a directory,
    then separate bundles will be created for each entry file.  You can also specify
    an output filename pattern, like *.bundled.js

  --exclude=GLOB, -u GLOB

    Excludes files that are matched by the <entry files glob>

  --watch, -w

    Call watchify instead of browserify.

Examples

For all of these examples, assume that we have a file structure like this:

lib/
 |__ my-entry-file.js
 |__ some-file.js
 |__ other-file.js
 |__ other-entry-file.js
 |__ subdir/
       |__ another-entry-file.js
       |__ another-file.js
       |__ yet-another-file.js

Multiple files in one bundle

We want to bundle all three entry files into a single bundle file. We can do that with the following command:

globify "lib/**/*-entry-file.js" --outfile=dist/my-bundle.js

Globify will call browserify once, passing it the three matching entry files and one bundle file:

browserify lib/my-entry-file.js lib/other-entry-file.js lib/subdir/another-entry-file.js --outfile=dist/my-bundle.js

Multiple files, multiple bundles

We want to create separate bundle files for each of the three entry files. We can do that with the following command:

globify "lib/**/*-entry-file.js" --outfile=dist

Globify will call browserify three times (once for each entry file), and create three corresponding bundles:

browserify lib/my-entry-file.js --outfile=dist/my-entry-file.js
browserify lib/other-entry-file.js --outfile=dist/other-entry-file.js
browserify lib/subdir/another-entry-file.js --outfile=dist/subdir/another-entry-file.js

Multiple files, multiple bundles with customized names

We want to create separate bundle files for each of the three entry files, but we weant each bundle file to have a .bundled.js suffix. We can do that with the following command:

globify "lib/**/*-entry-file.js" -o "dist/*.bundled.js"

Globify will call browserify three times (once for each entry file) and create three corresponding bundles:

browserify lib/my-entry-file.js -o dist/my-entry-file.bundled.js
browserify lib/other-entry-file.js -o dist/other-entry-file.bundled.js
browserify lib/subdir/another-entry-file.js -o dist/subdir/another-entry-file.bundled.js

Watchify, transforms, other options

Now, let's try it with watchify instead. Let's also add some extra options, and run the uglifyify transforms to minify the bundles. And let's give the bundles a .bundled.min.js suffix.

globify -g uglifyify "lib/**/*-entry-file.js" -w -v -d -o "dist/*.bundled.min.js"

Globify will call watchify (because of the -w option) three times with all of the specified options:

watchify -g uglifyify lib/my-entry-file.js -v -d -o dist/my-entry-file.bundled.min.js
watchify -g uglifyify lib/other-entry-file.js -v -d -o dist/other-entry-file.bundled.min.js
watchify -g uglifyify lib/subdir/another-entry-file.js -v -d -o dist/subdir/another-entry-file.bundled.min.js
