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

concat-sources

Concatenate source files together, taking into account source map files.

This is useful for minifying files whose compilers also generate associated source maps, while keeping a valid source map. For instance:

  • for JS: CoffeeScript, Dart, etc.
  • for CSS: SASS, LESS, Stylus, etc.

Note that the generated source does not contain /*# sourceMappingURL=<url> */, you have to add it yourself.

It can also simply concatenate files of any type, in this case the generated source map makes no sense.

The files are expected to end with \n. No extra \n is added.

API

npm install --save concat-sources

var concat = require("concat-sources");

var concatenated = concat.sources(sourceArray [, options]);
// concatenated[0] is the generated source file
// concatenated[1] is the generated source map file

concat.files(fileArray [, options], function(err, concatenated) {
	if (err) throw err;
	...
});

.sources(sourceArray [, options])

Takes a list of source strings and concatenates them with a resulting source map.

The call is synchronous.

Each item of sourceArray can be:

  • a string containing the contents to be concatenated.
  • an array, where
    • the first item (index 0) is a string containing the contents
    • if defined, the second item (index 1) is the associated source map as a string or object
    • if defined, the third item (index 2) is a string which overwrites the mapping source filename. In this case, options.soureMap is not called.

options can contain:

  • header: string appended at the top of the generated source file
  • sourceMap: function(source:string, index:int):string is called for every mapping with its source filename and file index as argument, and must return a filename

.files(fileArray [, options], callback)

Takes a list of source paths and concatenates them with a resulting source map.

It is a simple wrapper over .sources. The call is asynchronous as it reads files. Note that the call only returns strings, it does not write any file. Use fs.writeFile if you want so.

Each item of fileArray can be:

  • a string containing the name of the file to be concatenated. It also tries to load the same filename + .map, and if it succeeds, this becomes the associated source map.
    • If the filename already ends with .map, then it is taken as a source map. The source file is either mentioned in the source map, or this is this filename without .map. It throws an error if the file cannot be read. In order to avoid this behavior, specify the filename within an array.
  • an array, where
    • the first item (index 0) is the filename
    • if defined, the second item (index 1) is the filename of the associated source map.

Example:

concat.files([
	"a.js", // tries to read the souce map "a.js.map" as well
	"b.js.map", // tries to read the source mentioned in this source map, or "b.js" if undefined
	["c.js"], // reads only this file as a source, no source map here
	["d.js", "d.js.map"] // reads the source and the source map
], ... 

options are passed to .sources and can also contain:

  • encoding: string files encoding, default utf8

CLI

npm install -g concat-sources

> concat-sources a.js b.js.map ... -o concatenated.js -m concatenated.js.map

The following rules apply for the filenames: (similar to .files above)

  1. if the filename ends with .map, this is taken as a source map. The source file is either mentioned in the source map, or this is this filename without .map. It throws an error if the file cannot be read.
  2. otherwise, this is taken as a source. It also tries to load the same filename + .map, and if it succeeds, this becomes the associated source map.

Available options:

  • -e, --encoding: Encoding, default is utf8
  • -h, --header: Header
  • -m, --map: Generated source map name
  • -o, --output: Generated source name required
