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 🙏

A variable is a container for a value, like a number we might use in a sum, or a string that we might use as part of a sentence.

(c) MDN

🐊Putout plugin adds ability to find and remove the variables that are declared, but:

  • not passed as argument to a function;
  • not used as operand in expression;

That is unused variables. Most likely it is a leftovers due to incomplete transforming of the code. Such variables take up space and gives no value so they must be removed.

☝️Remember, when you writing a transform you can skip all parts related to removing unused variables and just reuse current plugin it will make your code simpler and less error prone.

☝️No, you cannot just look at referenced and constant fields to determine if you can remove variable and here is why one of the biggest plugins exists.
