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 🙏

npm info

electron-reload-webpack-plugin

Webpack plugin that reloads Electron main or renderer process on build. Powered by electron-connect

Installation

npm install --save-dev electron-reload-webpack-plugin

Usage

1. Add plugin to webpack.config.js

const path = require('path');
const createElectronReloadWebpackPlugin = require('electron-reload-webpack-plugin');

// Create one plugin for both renderer and main process
const ElectronReloadWebpackPlugin = createElectronReloadWebpackPlugin({
    // Path to `package.json` file with main field set to main process file path, or just main process file path
    path: path.join(__dirname, './build/backend.js'),
    // or just `path: './'`,
    // Other 'electron-connect' options
    logLevel: 0
});

module.exports = {
    // ...

    // Target is recommended to be `electron-main` or `electron-renderer`
    // Usually you want to have two webpack configs, one for renderer and other one for main process
    target: 'electron-renderer',

    plugins: [
        // ...

        // Call created plugin here
        ElectronReloadWebpackPlugin()

        // If your config `target` is different from recommended one then you should also specify it like this `ElectronReloadWebpackPlugin('electron-renderer')`
    ],

    // ...
};

1.1 Create electron-connect client if you need to reload renderer process

import { app, BrowserWindow } from 'electron';
import { client } from 'electron-connect';

app.on('ready', () => {
    const mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({
        // ...
    });

    // Pass your BrowserWindow object
    client.create(mainWindow);
});

2. Start webpack with watch option

$ webpack --watch
