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 🙏

Install

npm install -g @starters/cli

Usage

starters create <where> --template <template>

The <where> argument specifies where to create the project.

The <template> argument is either:

  • An NPM package name (eg. @starters/typescript)
  • A Git repository (eg. [email protected]:jakehamilton/starter-typescript-template)

Creating A Template

Git Templates

A Git template is simply a repository that will be cloned onto the user's machine. For initial configuration, you may add a JavaScript file at .starter/index.js in your repository. This file will be called once the template has been downloaded.

Example

.starter/index.js

NOTE: This file should export a function that returns a promise.

const path = require("path");

module.exports = function ({ inquirer, render, where }) {
    return inquirer
        .prompt([
            {
                type: "input",
                name: "name",
                message: "Module Name",
            },
        ])
        .then(function (answers) {
            const package = path.resolve(where, "package.json");

            return render(package, answers);
        });
};
package.json
{
    "name": "<%= name %>"
    ...
}

Types

The exported function receives an options argument with the following type signature:

interface options {
    inquirer: Inquirer;
    render: RenderInPlace;
    fs: FS;
    rimraf: Rimraf;
    where: string;
}

inquirer is from the inquirer module.
render is from the render-in-place module.
fs is from the fs-extra module.
rimraf is from the rimraf module.

NPM templates

An NPM template exists as an NPM module which has full control over how to create and install its template. To create an NPM template, all you need to do is publish an NPM module that exports a single function. When a user installs your template, your module will be installed and its function invoked.

Example

import * as fs from "fs";
import * as path from "path";

export default async ({ where }) => {
    fs.writeFileSync(path.resolve(where, "README.md"), "# Hello World!");
};

Types

The exported function receives an options argument with the following type signature:

interface options {
    inquirer: Inquirer;
    render: RenderInPlace;
    fs: FS;
    rimraf: Rimraf;
    where: string;
}
