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 🙏

bozon

Command line tool for building, testing and publishing modern Electron applications

npm version Actions Status

Bozon is a simple, easy to use tool that unifies the existing build tools for Electron development. Simplify building, compiling, running, testing, and packaging your Electron applications.

Features

  • Scaffolding - Generate ready to use project structure for your new Electron application.
  • Running - Run your electron application with Hot Reload in development environment.
  • Testing - Build Application for test env and run feature tests for your Electron application.
  • Packaging - Build, package and publish your Electron app for Mac, Windows and Linux platforms.

Bozon uses Webpack to bundle source code for main and renderer processes as well as preload script. It adds webpack.config.js file to your project so that you can further configure webpack, add new rules, loaders etc. Jest along with Spectron are used to run your unit and feature tests within real Electron application. For packaging and publishing applications bozon uses electron-builder under the hood.

bozon_start

Installation

npm install -g bozon

Bozon tool should be installed globally in order to be used for all your electron apps.

Scaffolding

Then generate your new project:

bozon new [name]

This will create a new directory [name] produce the following file structure:

  • Use --skip-install option if you want to skip running npm install
  |--config/
  |--resources/
  |--src/
  |  |--main/
  |  |  |--index.js
  |  |--preload/
  |  |  |--index.js
  |  |--renderer/git 
  |  |  |--index.html
  |  |  |--images/
  |  |  |--stylesheets/
  |  |  |--javascripts/
  |  |  |  |--index.js
  |--test/
  |--package.json

Starting an application

bozon start

This will compile Application source code to ./builds/development directory and run your application from it.

Configuration

Bozon provides a way to define environment specific and platform specific configuration options. These multiple config files are being merged into one single config object during build. This config object is accessible via CONFIG variable in main process files of your application, so that you can use it in your code.

  |--config/
  |  |--settings.json
  |  |--environments/
  |  |  |--development.json
  |  |  |--production.json
  |  |  |--test.json
  |  |--platforms/
  |  |  |--mac.json
  |  |  |--linux.json
  |  |  |--windows.json

Testing

Bozon is using Jest and Spectron for testing Electron applications. Both unit and integration tests should go to ./test directory. Simply execute for running tests:

bozon test

Packaging application

Packaging Electron application is done by electron-builder using settings in defined in package.json under build section. Application source code is being compiled to ./builds/production/ directory, and packaged versions for different platforms go to ./packages directory.
