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 🙏

Elm CodeGen

Elm CodeGen is an Elm package and CLI tool for generating Elm code.

The goal is to be easier to write and more maintainable than that string template you have lying around. 😏

Here's what this tool does for you in order to make generating code simpler.

  1. Automatic imports — Import declarations are calculated.
  2. Built in type inference — The types for your generated code are inferred, which means generated things can figure out their own type signatures.
  3. Use existing packages easily — For generating code that uses a specific library such as elm-ui, the elm-codegen CLI can create some Elm code to help you out. Check out the Using packages guide to get a better idea of what this looks like!

To get started, here's a small example to give you an idea of what the code looks like!

Elm.declaration "anExample"
    (Elm.record
        [ ("name", Elm.string "a fancy string!")
        , ("fancy", Elm.bool True)
        ]
    )
    |> Elm.ToString.declaration

The above will generate the following string:

anExample : { name : String, fancy : Bool }
anExample =
    { name = "a fancy string!"
    , fancy = True
    }

Check out the guide!

And finally, the elm-codegen package documentation.

Using the CLI

npm install -g elm-codegen

Then you can start a codegen project using:

elm-codegen init
