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

Definition publish

Generate typescript type definitions and enumerations from business definition json records.

Install

npm i definition

Usage

Create config file.

definition.config.mjs

/**
 * @return {import('definition').ConfigOptions}
 */
export default () => {
  return {
    dir: "./jsons",
    output: "./definitions",
  };
};

See ConfigOptions Options for details.

Create json records in target directory.

./jsons/hello.json

[
  { "key": "hello-1", "value": "hello", "label": "cba" },
  { "key": "hello-2", "value": "hello2", "label": "cba2" }
]

Records is extendable, for example { "key": "hello-1", "value": "hello", "label": "cba", "createBy": "god" }, is okay.

key and value are required, and key can be customized via the configuration file.

Run command

npx def generate # or npx def g

or add command to scripts with npm run

{
  "scripts": {
    "definition": "def generate" // or def g
  }
}

export const ROUTES_records = ROUTES_records_readonly.concat(); // mutable records
export type ROUTES_Records = typeof ROUTES_records_readonly; // record type
export type ROUTES_Values = ROUTES_Records[number]["value"]; // values's type

export const ROUTES_kr = krMap(ROUTES_records_readonly, ROUTES_key_list); // key -> record map
export const ROUTES_vr = vrMap(ROUTES_records_readonly, ROUTES_key_list, "value"); // value -> record map
