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 🙏

Borrower

Gitter Build Status Dependency Status

Forget complexity of Require.js config, don't worry about running Bower install.

Note: this project is a work in progress.

The goal is to keep a single configuration file and a working enviromnemnt with a single install command.

Usage

$ npm install borrower --save

$ node_modules/.bin/borrower install jquery --save

It will install Bower Components in static_modules/ and save dependency in package.json.

html

<script data-main="app.js" src="static_modules/require.js"></script>

Require.js is configured, you can just focus on your Javascript.

That's all folks !

Configuration

package.json

{
    ...
    staticDependencies: [...],
    ...
    config: {
        bower: {
            directory: 'static_modules',  // name of the folfder containing dependencies
            cwd: '',                      // where static modules must be installed
            baseUrl: ''                   // location of the ducoment root
                                          // an absolute path from this location will be used in requirejs config
                                          // if empty, a relative path will be used
        }
    }
}

Configurations from .bowerrc are available in package.json > config > bower

express static example: ...

How it works

$ borrower init

It will register a npm postinstall hook in your package.json to run Bower and configure Require on every npm install.

Require.js is configured inside static_modules/require.js and updated at each install run.
