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 🙏

Usage

$ npm install --global bindl

$ bindl --help
Downloads and extracts binaries from compressed packages using a config file.

━━━ Usage ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

$ bindl

━━━ Options ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

  -c,--config #0    Path to the config file

━━━ Details ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

The config will be read from any valid config file in the current directory. The
configuration file can be defined using all the extensions and names accepted by
**cosmiconfig** such as `bindl.config.cjs`.

━━━ Examples ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Download binaries looking for the config file in the current directory
  $ bindl

Download binaries looking for the config file at `./dir/bindl.config.cjs`
  $ bindl --config ./dir/bindl.config.cjs

You can find an example of a config file here.

Environment variables

When called without any environment variables, bindl downloads all packages from the config file, not matter the platform or architecture.

However, some environment variables can be used to tweak the behavior of bindl:

BINDL_SKIP

When the BINDL_SKIP environment variable is set to a truthy like 1 or true, bindl will skip downloading anything.

npm_config_arch

When the npm_config_arch environment variable is set, bindl will only download the packages that match the given architecture for the current architecture.

For example, if you set npm_config_arch=x64 and you are running on Linux, bindl will only download the packages that match the linux platform and the x64 architecture, skipping all other packages.
