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

Docker-Names

Docker Names generates semi-random, easy to remember names similar to how docker names its containers. For example, desperate_fermi, cranky_heyrovsky or tender_mahavira.

Or as seen from the docker client container list: Docker container list

Current Build Status: Build Status

Usage

Usage is very simple as this module only exports one method:

var dockerNames = require('docker-names');
console.log(dockerNames.getRandomName());
$ angry_nobel

Additionally, per dockers specification they have a "retry" counter that appends a random* number if set to true or a number greater than 0. For example:

console.log(dockerNames.getRandomName(true));
$ jolly_mclean3

console.log(dockerNames.getRandomName(3));
$ backstabbing_roentgen5

* This uses Math.random which means its not very random. These names should never be used as any sort of unique id. The names are mostly applicable for small lists of ephemeral objects that you want to have easy to remember identifiers for.

Word Lists

This module exports the full docker name lists as two arrays.

// This contains all adjectives i.e. "left words"
dockerNames.adjectives = Array('admiring', 'adoring'...);

// This contains all surnames to use as "right words"
dockerNames.surnames = Array('albattani', 'allen' ...);
