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

Note that this is a fork of Va1/browser-sync-webpack-plugin that supports BrowserSync version 3.

BrowserSync plugin for Webpack

Easily use BrowserSync in your Webpack project.

Install:

$ npm install --save-dev browser-sync-webpack-plugin

or

$ yarn add --dev browser-sync-webpack-plugin

With release of 2.0.0 the plugin is expected to be used in Node v4+ environment. Support for Node v3 and lower was dropped, but you can install and use the plugin version of 1.2.0 in older environments.

Usage:

BrowserSync will start only when you run Webpack in watch mode:

$ webpack --watch

Basic:

If you're not using Webpack Dev Server, you can make BrowserSync to serve your project. The setup is pretty easy: just pass the BrowserSync options to the plugin as the first argument.

In your webpack.config.js:

const BrowserSyncPlugin = require("browser-sync-webpack-plugin");

module.exports = {
  // ...
  plugins: [
    new BrowserSyncPlugin({
      // browse to http://localhost:3000/ during development,
      // ./public directory is being served
      host: "localhost",
      port: 3000,
      server: { baseDir: ["public"] },
    }),
  ],
};

Advanced:

The advanced usage is about using Webpack Dev Server with BrowserSync in order to use awesome features of both.

To achieve this, BrowserSync offers the proxy option. So, basically, you are about to proxy the output from the Webpack Dev Server through BrowserSync to get the best out of both.

In your webpack.config.js:

const BrowserSyncPlugin = require("browser-sync-webpack-plugin");

module.exports = {
  // ...
  plugins: [
    new BrowserSyncPlugin(
      // BrowserSync options
      {
        // browse to http://localhost:3000/ during development
        host: "localhost",
        port: 3000,
        // proxy the Webpack Dev Server endpoint
        // (which should be serving on http://localhost:3100/)
        // through BrowserSync
        proxy: "http://localhost:3100/",
      },
      // plugin options
      {
        // prevent BrowserSync from reloading the page
        // and let Webpack Dev Server take care of this
        reload: false,
      },
    ),
  ],
};

Other supported plugin options are:

  • name - default: bs-webpack-plugin, BrowserSync instance name
  • callback - default: undefined, BrowserSync instance init callback.
  • injectCss - default: false, allows BrowserSync to inject changes inplace instead of reloading the page when changed chunks are all CSS files
