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

Core SDK package contains basic components and default implementations of ASK SDK v2 for Node.js.

What is ASK SDK v2 for Node.js

The ASK SDK v2 for Node.js is an open-source Alexa Skill Development Kit. ASK SDK v2 for Node.js makes it easier for you to build highly engaging skills, by allowing you to spend more time on implementing features and less on writing boiler-plate code.

Installing

To use the Core SDK package, you need to install two modules: core SDK and model(peer dependency of core SDK) within your NPM project. Run the following commands in the terminal to install them:

npm install --save ask-sdk-core
npm install --save ask-sdk-model

Usage and Getting Started

You can find a getting started guide here.

Usage with TypeScript

The Core SDK package for Node.js bundles TypeScript definition files for use in TypeScript projects and to support tools that can read .d.ts files. Our goal is to keep these TypeScript definition files updated with each release for any public api.

Pre-requisites

Before you can begin using these TypeScript definitions with your project, you need to make sure your project meets a few of these requirements:

  • Use TypeScript v2.x
  • Includes the TypeScript definitions for node. You can use npm to install this by typing the following into a terminal window:
npm install --save-dev @types/node

In Node.js

To use the TypeScript definition files within a Node.js project, simply import ask-sdk-core as below:

In a TypeScript file:

import * as Alexa from 'ask-sdk-core';

In a JavaScript file:

const Alexa = require('ask-sdk-core');

Opening Issues

For bug reports, feature requests and questions, we would like to hear about it. Search the existing issues and try to make sure your problem doesn’t already exist before opening a new issue. It’s helpful if you include the version of the SDK, Node.js or browser environment and OS you’re using. Please include a stack trace and reduced repro case when appropriate, too.
