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

Daemon Wrapper

This utility module was built specifically to standardize behavior across node-windows, node-mac, and node-linux.

Features

There are two main components, the Controller and the Logger. The Controller monitors and manages the node script. The logger wraps general logging, making it easier to output to the native system and error logs.

Controller Features

Logger Features

Custom Functions

The manager.Logger singleton class allows developers to replace console methods with their own functions for:

  • log()
  • info()
  • dir()
  • warn()
  • error()
  • time()
  • timeEnd()
  • assert()

If these methods aren't overridden, the default methods from console will be used.

Strip Console Colors

The logger also has a configuration attribute called stripColors, which will strip any console color information from the logs. This is useful when a script should output color-coded information to the screen during development, but not in production.

Pre/Postfix Messages

The logger can optionally prefix and postfix messages with static text. For example, if the info log should have the word INFO: before each message, it can be configured like:

	var logger = new manager.Logger({
		preInfo: 'INFO: ',
		postInfo: ' << End Info`
	});
	
	logger.info('my message');  // <--- Outputs Info: my message << End Info

Each method has a pre and post configuration option.

Variable Replacement

The logger has a unique configuration option called findReplace. This can be used to find and replace text in a log message. For example, the following configuration will put the date in front of every log:

	var logger = new manager.Logger({
		preLog: '[DATE]: ',
		findReplace: {
			'[DATE]': function(msg){
				return (new Date()).toLocaleString();
			}
		}
	});
	
	logger.log('my message'); // <-- Outputs Mon Nov 25 2013 20:35:01 GMT-0600 (Central Standard Time): my message

The date in the aforementioned example would of course be the current date.
