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 🙏

Example usage

import chainProcess from 'chainprocess';

// # Standard output is the input for the next chain item
chainProcess('git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD')
// # You can include your own logic to process inputs
    .chain( branch => {
        console.log(`Current branch:${branch}`);
        if (branch !== 'release') {
// # Returning a function will break the chain
            return ()=> console.error('Must be on the release branch!')
        }
    })
    .chain('git add . -A')
// # Continue execution on success return code
    .chain(`git commit -m "Automated commit."`)
    .chain(`git push origin release:master --force`)
// # Can pass output to the next step
    .chain(()=> 'output is the input for the next chain item.')
// # Can pass promise as the next step
    .chain( input => new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, input.length )))
// # Chain is executed on calling the `run()` function on it
    .run()
// # Processing the erronous exit
    .catch(console.error);
