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 🙏

Features

  • No configuration requrired. Just setup the folder structure with a logo, favicon, and css file.
  • Builds a static website that can be hosted anywhere.
  • For more complex projects easily add a docula.config.mjs file to customize the build process. With PRE and POST methods.
  • Support for single page with readme or multiple markdown pages in a docs folder.
  • Will generate a sitemap.xml and robots.txt for your site.
  • Uses Github release notes to generate a changelog / releases page.
  • Uses Github to show contributors and link to their profiles.
  • Simple search is provided by default out of the box.

Getting Started

Install docula via init

npx docula init

This will create a folder called site with the following structure:

site
├───site.css
├───logo.png
├───favicon.ico
├───README.md
├───docula.config.mjs

Note: for typescript do 'docula init --typescript'

Add your content

Simply replace the logo, favicon, and css file with your own. The readme is your root project readme and you just need to at build time move it over to the site folder. If you have it at the root of the project and this is a folder inside just delete the README.md file in the site folder and docula will copy it over for you automatically.

Build your site

npx docula

This will build your site and place it in the dist folder. You can then host it anywhere you like.

Using Your own Template

If you want to use your own template you can do so by adding a docula.config.ts file to the root of your project. This file will be used to configure the build process.

or at the command line:

npx docula --template path/to/template

Building Multiple Pages

If you want to build multiple pages you can easily do that by adding in a docs folder to the root of the site folder. Inside of that folder you can add as many pages as you like. Each page will be a markdown file and it will generate a table of contents for you. Here is an example of what it looks like:

site
├───site.css
├───logo.png
├───favicon.ico
├───docula.config.mjs
├───docs
│   ├───getting-started.md
│   ├───contributing.md
│   ├───license.md
│   ├───code-of-conduct.md

The readme.md file will be the root page and the rest will be added to the table of contents. If you want to control the title or order of the pages you can do so by setting the title and order properties in the front matter of the markdown file. Here is an example:

title: Getting Started
order: 2

Helper Functions for Markdown

docula comes with some helper functions that you can use in your markdown files.

  • doculaHelpers.getFrontMatter(fileName) - Gets the front matter of a markdown file.
  • doculaHelpers.setFrontMatter(fileName, frontMatter) - Sets the front matter of a markdown file.
  • doculaHelpers.createDoc(source, destination, frontMatter?, contentFn[]?) - Creates a markdown file with the specified front matter and content. The contentFn is a function that is executed on the original content of the file. This is useful if you want to remove content from the original file.

Remove html content

In some cases your markdown file will have html content in it such as the logo of your project or a badge. You can use the doculaHelpers.removeHtmlContent() helper function to remove that content from the page. Here is an example:

Get and Set the Front Matter of a Markdown File

You can use the doculaHelpers.getFrontMatter() and doculaHelpers.setFrontMatter() helper functions to get and set the front matter of a markdown file. Here is an example:

const frontMatter = doculaHelpers.getFrontMatter('../readme.md');
frontMatter.title = 'My Title';
doculaHelpers.setFrontMatter('../readme.md', frontMatter);
