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 🙏

Creative Property Expression Parser/Evaluator

cpe-parser is a Javascript package for parsing and evaluating Creative Property Expressions (CPEs). CPEs are used to represent text strings that may embed dynamic data or perform simple arithmetic calculations.

The most common use case for CPEs is to templatize an otherwise static text string. Consider the following strings:

See other dresses like this.
See other shoes like this.
See other accessories like this.

If there is a dataset of similar products with categories, you might want to replace the category name above with a reference to that dataset using a CPE:

See other {{similarProducts[1].categoryName}} like this.

In the example CPE above, an embedded expression (surrounded by {{ and }}) references a dataset called similarProducts. When evaluated, it will be replaced with the categoryName attribute from the first item in the similarProducts dataset.

CPEs can also do simple arithmetic. For example:

{{deals[1].name}} expires in less than {{deals[1].lifetimeHours * 60}} minutes!

Installation

To install via NPM:

npm install --save cpe-parser

Usage

To evaluate a CPE:

var cpeParser = require('cpe-parser');

var result = cpeParser.evaluate.fromString('One plus two equals {{1 + 2}}.');

console.log(result);
// "One plus two equals 3."

Evaluating within an environment:

var env = {
  queries: {
    fruit: [
      { name: 'apple' },
      { name: 'banana' }
    ]
  }
};

var result = cpeParser.evaluate.fromString(
  'I love {{fruit[1].name}}s and {{fruit[2].name}}s!',
  env
);

console.log(result);
// "I love apples and bananas!"
