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 🙏

Install

npm install field-descriptions

Usage

Can add to any embed class or object in discord.js or any other library. Returns a string so should be very versatile.

new MessageEmbed({
  description: FD([
    { name: "New", value: "npm package" },
    { name: "For", value: "Making Discord Embeds Easy" },
  ]),
});

Make Discord Embeds Easy

When You Think Of Making Your Discord Embed Look Like this Cool Embed The Code Probably looks like this

new MessageEmbed({
  color: "#b0beec",
  timestamp: Date.now(),
  footer: {
    text: `Altrus Bot By arif#7674`,
    iconURL:
      "https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/777453483711266830/777648678541328414/unknown.png",
  },
  description:
    "**Product Name:** Walmart + Reward Card\n**Product Cost:** $7.50\n**Stock Count:** 191\n**Feedback Score:** 60",
});

Nobody wants to write such a weird description just for their description to look nice. Discord.js has a feature to make displaying key-value data easier with their fields.

new MessageEmbed({
  fields: [
    { name: "Regular field title", value: "Some value here" },
    { name: "\u200B", value: "\u200B" },
    { name: "Inline field title", value: "Some value here", inline: true },
    { name: "Inline field title", value: "Some value here", inline: true },
  ],
});

I wanted to apply the same type of simplicity to showing key-value data in the description part of embeds. This is the whole point of this package to make descriptions in embeds easier. The same embed in the first image can be created in my package like this.

new MessageEmbed({
  description: FD(
    [
      { name: "Product Name", value: "Walmart + Reward Card" },
      { name: "Product Cost", value: "$7.50" },
      { name: "Stock Count", value: "191" },
      { name: "Feedback Score", value: "60" },
    ],
    { nameEdits: { bold: true }, separator: ":" }
  ),
  color: "#b0beec",
  timestamp: Date.now(),
  footer: {
    text: `Altrus Bot By arif#7674`,
    iconURL:
      "https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/777453483711266830/777648678541328414/unknown.png",
  },
});

This brings the field type inputs with some extra features to descriptions inside discord.js embeds. This is extremely easy to customize with included markdown editing so that you can apply your favorite effects to your embed descriptions.

Thanks for checking out my package as this is my first npm package and feel free to open an issue or a pull request for anything you would like to see changed.
