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 🙏

aslug

Version Types License

A lossless slug that preserves uniqueness.

Install

npm install aslug

Features

An example use case for aslug would be a set of ids that have to be made safe for some character set, while maintaining readability and ensuring they won't conflict with other valid ids. Hence, aslug:

  • Produces a readable, lossless, encoding.
  • Includes a decoder to recover the original string.
  • Allows the character set to be modified via options.

Usage

new Slug(alphabet?: string | null, options?: Slug.Options)

The Slug class optionally takes an alphabet string and an options object.

  • alphabet defaults to: '0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz-'
  • options fields include:
    • A separator to be used between the readable string and the payload. Defaults to '.'.
    • A map function to determine the strategy to use when replacing characters with a string within alphabet -otherwise an empty string. It can be used to remove diacritics, leave empty, or any other alternative. Defaults to replacing characters for their ASCII equivalent, if in alphabet.

Simple example

import { Slug } from 'aslug';

const slug = new Slug();

slug.encode('string w/ special chars'); // string-w-special-chars.EjhdB6y8T2PsDU0e6zUv
slug.decode('string-w-special-chars.EjhdB6y8T2PsDU0e6zUv'); // string w/ special chars
