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

Choko

Web Application Framework for Node.js. With Choko you can develop complex single page web applications within minutes, without requiring any kind of rocket science knowledge.

Choko comes with a build in Content Management System and Framework, so you can manage your application and the content related to it on a central place, with flexible and powerful APIs.

Demo application

You can see Choko in action at demo.choko.org.

Installation

Please note: since Choko is under very active development, to have access to the latest functionality, it's advised to install Choko from the sources. For instructions on how to do this, please refer to the Installing from the sources section bellow.

You can install the latest version of Choko globally using NPM:

sudo npm install -g choko

Dependencies

Choko depends on Node.js, NPM and MongoDB.

Getting started

To create your first application with Choko, you should call the choko command passing a folder name or path that will be your application root folder.

choko myApp

Then follow the steps to have access to the installer.

Update

To update to the latest version of Choko you can run:

sudo npm update -g choko

Installing from the sources

If you have some specific development needs, or you want to be involved with Choko core development, you might want to install and run Choko from the sources. In order to do so, you can clone the repository and build Choko by hand.

git clone https://github.com/recidive/choko.git
cd choko
npm install
bower install

Now you can start the Choko server by going to the choko main folder and running it.

node server.js myApp

You can also run it using the choko script like this:

bin/choko

Directory structure

applications   -> Where core applications live.
  default      -> Default application, all other applications extend this.
    extensions -> Default application extensions.
    public     -> Default application public files.
  example      -> Sample application to show case Choko features.
lib            -> Choko serverside libraries.

The only place it's advised to add or change files is in your own applications repository folder.
