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 🙏

Below is the original README


Reason:

I was involved in a project where I need to print from Node.JS. This is the reason why I created this project and I want to share my code with others.

Features:

  • no dependecies;
  • native method wrappers from Windows and POSIX (which uses CUPS 1.4/MAC OS X 10.6) APIs;
  • compatible with node v0.8.x, 0.9.x and v0.11.x (with 0.11.9 and 0.11.13);
  • compatible with node-webkit v0.8.x and 0.9.2;
  • getPrinters() to enumerate all installed printers with current jobs and statuses;
  • getPrinter(printerName) to get a specific/default printer info with current jobs and statuses;
  • getPrinterDriverOptions(printerName) (POSIX only) to get a specific/default printer driver options such as supported paper size and other info
  • getSelectedPaperSize(printerName) (POSIX only) to get a specific/default printer default paper size from its driver options
  • getDefaultPrinterName() return the default printer name;
  • printDirect(options) to send a job to a specific/default printer, now supports CUPS options passed in the form of a JS object (see cancelJob.js example). To print a PDF from windows it is possible by using node-pdfium module to convert a PDF format into EMF and after to send to printer as EMF;
  • printFile(options) (POSIX only) to print a file;
  • getSupportedPrintFormats() to get all possible print formats for printDirect method which depends on OS. RAW and TEXT are supported from all OS-es;
  • getJob(printerName, jobId) to get a specific job info including job status;
  • setJob(printerName, jobId, command) to send a command to a job (e.g. 'CANCEL' to cancel the job);
  • getSupportedJobCommands() to get supported job commands for setJob() depends on OS. 'CANCEL' command is supported from all OS-es.
