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

debounce-cmd

⚠️ This package was renamed to cache-cmd, therefore debounce-cmd is deprecated.

Run and cache a command based on

  • time since last run
  • file change

Install

# Using npm
npm add --save-dev cache-cmd
# Using pnpm
pnpm add --save-dev cache-cmd
# Using yarn
yarn add --dev cache-cmd

Usage

# Shows help
npm exec -- cache-cmd --help

# Runs command if it was not run in the last 20s
npm exec -- cache-cmd "echo ran this command" --time 20s

# Runs command if package-lock.json in current directory changed since last run
npm exec -- cache-cmd "npm install" --file package-lock.json

# Additionally uses custom cache directory instead of default in node_modules
npm exec -- cache-cmd "npm install" --file package-lock.json --cache-dir .config/cache

# Runs command if it was not run in a month or any of the files changed
npm exec -- cache-cmd "npm install" --time 1mo --file package-lock.json --file package.json

# Shows path to cache directory
npm exec -- cache-cmd cache dir

# Clear cache
npm exec -- cache-cmd cache clear

# You can also run it with npx to skip the install step
npx cache-cmd "echo ran this command" --time 20s

You can use it to execute commands conditionally in package.json scripts.

{
    "scripts": {
        "start-dev": "cache-cmd \"npm install\" --file package-lock.json && start-dev-server"
    }
}
