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 🙏

Azure DevOps NPM Auth

The purpose of this package is to provide a cross platform and interactive authentication experience like vsts-npm-auth, but without the limitation of it being Windows only.

Installation

Because of the size of the package, it is recommended to just install it globally like this:

npm install -g devops-buddy

or

yarn global add devops-buddy

When the size is reduced, the global installation guidance would be lifted

Usage

To use it, run it at the root of the repository that has a .npmrc file:

# cd project
# devops-buddy

A window would open for you to authenticate. Then it'll proceed to get a new accesstoken for you to use to install from npm feeds from Azure Artifacts.

The Stack

  1. an Azure DevOps registered application
  2. a cross-platform application with a webview - handles the interactive prompt (used for 1st time)
  3. a CLI app that manages access tokens and refresh tokens - saves the tokens securely via keytar

Future Work

Currently the interactive app is based on Electron. It is completely overkill (@ 170mb) and carries a huge installation burden. There are alternatives:

  1. webview
  2. WebWindow
  3. build our own node.js binding for webview to reduce the installation size
