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

:metal: Quick Start

Run npm i cli-argument-parser

:ok_hand: Basic usage

import { cliArguments } from 'cli-argument-parser';
const arg1 = cliArguments.arg1;
const arg2 = cliArguments.arg2;

Run a cli with arg1 and arg2, ie: my-command --arg1=2 --arg2=1 And the values will be inside the variables we declared above.

:speak_no_evil: Configurate unique CLI's

Using a configuration file

Create a file in the root of your project called cli.config.json and paste the following into it:

{
    prefix: '--',
    separator: '='
}

The prefix is a value which the argument must start with, -- is the default one. (ex: --arg=5) The separator is a value which seperated between the argument name and argument value. = is the default one. (ex: --arg=5) This gives you the abillity to configurate your cli arguments as you wish.

Using the CLI

If additional files are a mess in your opinion, it is also possible to pass the CLI configuration via CLI arguments. --cli-prefix to configurate the CLI prefix, ie: --cli-prefix=-- --cli-separator to configurate the CLI separator, ie: --cli-separator==

Using the code

Instead of using the existing cliArguments, you are able to also create a custom one, using the following code snippet:

import { filterArguments } from 'cli-argument-parser';
const arguments = filterArguments('--', '=');

The arguments variable will hold a JS object with arguments (just like cliArguments) filtered by defined prefix and separator .
