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 🙏

Fenrir — a modern JavaScript-based runtime

Readme

Fenrir

A Lightweight Runtime

npm

🌐  Türkçe


Fenrir is a minimal scripting runtime that runs .fnr files using a clean, expressive syntax on top of Node.js. It ships with a built-in standard library, package management, and a snapshot/rollback archive system.

Features

  Clean syntax      fn, use, log — no verbose JS boilerplate
  Built-in stdlib   File I/O, HTTP, math, arrays — globally available, no imports
  Package manager   Install and remove npm packages via fenrir install
  Archive system    Snapshot your project and roll back at any time

Installation

Via npm

npm install -g fenrir-runtime

Via GitHub

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/fenrir.git
cd fenrir
npm install
npm link

Usage

fenrir main.fnr              # Run a file
fenrir install <pkg>         # Install a package
fenrir remove  <pkg>         # Remove a package
fenrir archive "message"     # Save a snapshot
fenrir archives              # List snapshots
fenrir rollback              # Restore latest snapshot
fenrir rollback <id>         # Restore specific snapshot
fenrir clean   <n>           # Keep last n snapshots
fenrir help                  # Show help

Syntax

.fnr files are mostly JavaScript with a cleaner surface:

use express from 'express'

const app = express()
const PORT = env('PORT', '3000')

fn greet(name) {
  log(`Hello, ${name}!`)
}

app.get('/', fn(req, res) {
  res.json({ message: 'Hello from Fenrir' })
})

app.listen(PORT, fn() {
  log(`🐺 Server running on http://localhost:${PORT}`)
})

| Fenrir | JavaScript | |--------|------------| | fn name() {} | function name() {} | | fn(args) {} | function(args) {} | | use X from 'mod' | import X from 'mod' | | log() | console.log() | | err() | console.error() | | warn() | console.warn() | | info() | console.info() |

Standard Library

All functions are globally available — no imports needed.

| Category | Functions | |----------|-----------| | I/O | readFile writeFile appendFile fileExists readDir readJSON writeJSON mkdir rm | | HTTP | get post | | System | exec run spawn env args exit cwd | | Time | now time sleep bench | | Array | range pick shuffle chunk unique flatten sum avg min max clamp | | String | capitalize truncate pad repeat | | Object | keys values entries merge clone | | Async | all race retry | | Types | isString isNumber isBool isArray isObject isNull isDefined | | Math | rand randInt abs ceil floor round sqrt pow PI E |

Archive System

fenrir archive "before refactor"       # Save snapshot
fenrir archives                        # List all snapshots
fenrir rollback                        # Restore latest
fenrir rollback 2024-01-15_14-30-00    # Restore specific
fenrir clean 10                        # Keep last 10, delete rest

Debug Mode

FENRIR_DEBUG=1 fenrir main.fnr

Prints the transformed JavaScript before execution.

Requirements

  • Node.js v18 or higher
