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

Vitrine electron-hot-reloader

Simple auto-reloading for Electron apps during development using webpack

It just works. When files used in the main process are changed, the app is restarted, and when files used in the browser window are changed, the page is reloaded.

Note that it will only work if you bundle your codebase in a single file using webpack or another bundler.

Install

$ npm install --save-dev electron-reloader

Requires Electron 5 or later.

Usage

The following must be included in the app entry file, usually named index.js:

try {
	require('@vitrine/electron-hot-reloader')(module);
} catch (_) {}

You have to pass the module object so we can read the module graph and figure out which files belong to the main process.

The try/catch is needed so it doesn't throw Cannot find module '@vitrine/electron-hot-reloader' in production.

API

reloader(watchedPath, appDirectory, electronPath, options?)

watchedPath

Type: string

The path of files that are watched for reloading.

appDirectory

Type: string

The directory where your package.json is.

electronPath

Type: string

The path of the Electron binary used to spawn child processes.

options

Type: object

debug

Type: boolean
Default: false

Prints watched paths and when files change. Can be useful to make sure you set it up correctly.

ignore

Type: Array<string | RegExp>

Ignore patterns passed to chokidar. By default, files/directories starting with a ., .map files, and node_modules directories are ignored. This option is additive to those.

argv

Type: Array<string>

Args passed to Electron child process when spawned.
