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

duplitect

travis npm

duplitect is a simple tool to detect duplicate versions of installed packages. JavaScript package managers such as NPM and Yarn habitually allow you to install multiple versions of (transient) dependencies. This works most of the time - for certain kinds of packages, it does not.

untool happens to be among these packages that have to be installed exactly once inside any given project, which is why we built this module.

Installation

Using NPM:

npm install -S duplitect

Using Yarn:

yarn add duplitect

CLI

Usually, you will want to use duplitect as a CLI tool. Since most typical Node.js projects contain a significant number of (unproblematic) duplicates, you will probably want to limit duplitect's output by passing one or more patterns.

Example
$ duplitect untool @untool*
Duplicate: untool
Duplicate: @untool/core

duplitect supports the wildcard character * as shown above. This allows you to match multiple, possibly scoped, packages at once.

API

You can also use duplitect in your own tools - it exposes two functions: one, that mimics the CLI functionality. And a second one, that additionally provides the versions of the duplicates.

getDuplicates(cwd, [pattern, pattern, ...])

const { getDuplicates } = require('duplitect');

const duplicates = getDuplicates(process.cwd(), 'untool', '@untool*');
duplicates.forEach((duplicate) => console.log(`Duplicate: ${duplicate}`));

getDuplicatesDetails(cwd, [pattern, pattern, ...])

const { getDuplicatesDetails } = require('duplitect');

getDuplicatesDetails(process.cwd(), 'untool', '@untool*').then((duplicates) =>
  duplicates.forEach(({ name, version, pathName }) =>
    console.log('name: %s, version: %s, pathName: %s', name, version, pathName)
  )
);
