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 🙏

Delete files and folders and any intermediate directories if they exist (sync and async).

Install

Install with npm:

$ npm install --save delete

Usage

var del = require('delete');

// async
del(['foo/*.js'], function(err, deleted) {
  if (err) throw err;
  // deleted files
  console.log(deleted);
});

// sync
del.sync(['foo/*.js']);

// promise
del.promise(['foo/*.js'])
  .then(function(deleted) {
    // deleted files
    console.log(deleted)
  });

Options

All methods take an options object as the second argument.

options.force

Type: boolean

Default: undefined

By default, error is thrown if you try to delete either the current working directory itself, or files outside of the current working directory (e.g. parent directories).

Examples

del.sync('../foo.md', {force: true});

del('.', {force: true}, function(err, files) {
  // do stuff with err
  console.log(files);
});

del.promise('./', {force: true})
  .then(function(files) {
    console.log(files);
  })

(This option was inspired by settings in grunt.)
