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 🙏

🧐 About

I generally use a template when developing CLI applications for myself. I want to share that same template with you, in an easy to use bootstrapper that mirrors the simplicity of starting a new application with create-react-app. Thus, create-cli-application was born.

🏁 Getting Started

Prerequisites

  • Node (>= v10.0.0)
  • NPM

OS

  • [x] MacOS
  • [x] Linux
  • [x] Windows

Installing

npm install -g create-cli-application

🎈 Usage

create-cli-application cool-app-name

Changing the Source Language

By deafault, create-cli-application will create your application as a JavaScript project. You can pass the --typescript flag to create a TypeScript project instead.

create-cli-application cool-app-name --typescript

Want support for an additional language? Feel free to open a new issue.

Interactive Mode

You can choose to use the application in an interactive mode by passing the flag --interactive.

Interactive Mode Example

⛏️ Built Using

  • @sentry/node - Sentry is cross-platform application monitoring, with a focus on error reporting.
  • boxen - Create boxes in the terminal.

  • clear - Clear the terminal screen if possible.
  • commander - Node.js command-line interfaces made easy.
  • configstore - Easily load and persist config without having to think about where and how.

  • ora - Elegant terminal spinner.
  • pickitt - When you need a computer to just pick it, reach for Pickitt!
  • semver - The semver parser for node (the one npm uses).
