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

cli-glob-assist

Uses a given glob pattern to make modifications to a set of glob patterns for convenient cli usage.

install

npm install cli-glob-assist

example

const {sync: globAssist} = require('cli-glob-assist')
const {sync: glob} = require('glob')

const globs = globAssist(process.argv.slice(2), '**/*.js')
const files = glob(globs)

Here are examples of the way a cli can be used with glob-assist, and how the same result would be achieved without glob-assist. In these examples, glob-assist is called with pattern **/*.js

# with - act on all js files in and nested under current directory
$ cmd
# without
$ cmd **/*.js

# with - act on all js files in and nested under "src" directory
$ cmd src
# without
$ cmd src/**/*.js

API

globAssist(globs = [], pattern = '', cb)

  • globs: [...globs], [] 0 or more globs or paths
  • pattern: string, ''
  • cb: (err, globs) => {} function that receives a prepared array of glob patterns

If globs has multiple globs/paths, or globs has a single path that isn't a directory, nothing is modified. The result is the same globs array that was input.

If there are no globs/paths given, [pattern] is returned so that the consumer will get files matching pattern.

If there is a single glob/path given and it is a directory, pattern will be appended to the directory so that the consumer will get files matching pattern under that directory.

globAssist.sync(globs = [], pattern = '')

  • returns: [...globs]
