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

Detect files in one or more directories

Module reads recursively one or more directories and give back all found files. The directories can be given as function parameter or can be configured in a configuration file. The found files can be filtered by their MIME type via a configuration file.

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

Installing

Install the module with npm to use it in your project.

npm install --production file-detector

To change the code or run tests of the module you can install it with its development dependencies:

npm install file-detector

After installing, the module can be used the following way:

import {getFilesOfDir, FileInformation} from 'file-detector';

const dir: string = 'testdir';
getFilesOfDir(dir).then((files) => {
    // Logs found files to the console
    // Each file is is a object
    console.log(files);
}).catch((err) => {
    throw err;
})

The function returns a array with all found files in the directory / directories. Each file is a object with the following keys: |Key|Description| |---|---| |path|Absolute path to the found file| |size|The size of the found file in bytes| |type|The MIME type of the found file|

If no path is given as parameter, the function looks, if a config file, for the actual setted node environment is given. The config file must have the following structure:

{
    "File_Detection": {
        "supported_mime_types": [
            "audio/mpeg"
        ],

        "directories": [
            "./src/test/testdir"
        ]
    }
}

The config file has the following keys: |Key|Description| |---|---| |supported_mime_types|If given the found files will be filterd, only files of the configured MIME types will be given back. If no config file is found, the key is not given in the config file or the array is empty, all found files will be given back.| |directories|If no parameter is given for the function, the function tries to detect the directories, which should be read, from this config key.|

Testing the module

To test the module you can use the built in tests. For testing, the frameworks mocha and chai are used. To check the code coverage the framework istanbul is used.

To run the test install all development dependencies, with following command:

npm install file-detector

To start the tests run the following command:

gulp test

The results of the code coverage are generated as HTML output in the folder "coverage".

Versioning

I use SemVer for versioning.
