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 🙏

CapstoneJS

About Capstone

CapstoneJS is a fork from the discontinued project CapstoneJS, a powerful Node.js content management system and web app framework built on the Express web framework and Mongoose ODM. When we started the new Portal project for ITA, we adopted Keystone because it's a easy to use tool to create sophisticated web sites and apps, and comes with a beautiful auto-generated Admin UI. But unfortunally KeystoneJS version 4 was deprecated and a new and incompatible version developed.

Documentation

For Keystone v4 documentation and guides used by this Portal, see keystonejs.com.

Getting Started

This section provides a short intro to Keystone. Check out the Getting Started Guide in the Keystone documentation for a more comprehensive introduction.

Installation

The easiest way to get started with Keystone is to use the Yeoman generator:

$ npm install -g generator-keystone
$ yo keystone

Answer the questions, and the generator will create a new project based on the options you select, and install the required packages from npm.

Alternatively, to include Keystone in an existing project or start from scratch (without Yeoman), specify keystone: "4.0.0" in the dependencies array of your package.json file, and run npm install from your terminal.

Then read through the Documentation to understand how to use it.

Configuration

Config variables can be passed in an object to the keystone.init method, or can be set any time before keystone.start is called using keystone.set(key, value). This allows for a more flexible order of execution. For example, if you refer to Lists in your routes you can set the routes after configuring your Lists.

See the KeystoneJS configuration documentation for details and examples of the available options.

Database field types

Keystone builds on the basic data types provided by MongoDB and allows you to easily add rich, functional fields to your application's models.

You get helper methods on your models for dealing with each field type easily (such as formatting a date or number, resizing an image, getting an array of the available options for a select field, or using Google's Places API to improve addresses) as well as a beautiful, responsive admin UI to edit your data with.

See the KeystoneJS database documentation for details and examples of the various field types, as well as how to set up and use database models in your application.

Running KeystoneJS in Production

When you deploy your KeystoneJS app to production, be sure to set your ENV environment variable to production.

You can do this by setting NODE_ENV=production in your .env file, which gets handled by dotenv.

Setting your environment enables certain features (including template caching, simpler error reporting, and HTML minification) that are important in production but annoying in development.

Contributing

If you can, please contribute by reporting issues, discussing ideas, helping answer questions from other developers, or submitting pull requests with patches and new features. We do our best to respond to all issues and pull requests, and make patch releases to npm regularly.
