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

file-duplicates

Given in input a file or buffer, it returns the absolute paths to duplicated files starting from the specified directory (otherwise the working directory will be used as starting point). The matching algorithm uses SHA-1 checksum to compare files. It is possible to provide an array of patterns to ignore specific files or folders. Both sync and async API are available.

Information

| Package | file-duplicates | | ------------- |--------------|
| Node Version | >= 4.8.4 |

Table of Contents

Installation

Install package as dependency:

npm install --save file-duplicates

Usage

var fd = require("file-duplicates");
var fs = require("fs");
var filePath = "path/to/file";
var dirPath = "path/to/dir";

// async - promise
fd.find(filePath, dirPath).then(function(paths) {
    console.log(paths);
}).catch(err) {
    throw err;
};

// async - ignore patterns - callback
fd.find(filePath, dirPath, [".*", "node_modules", "**/*.txt", "path/to/specific/fileOrFolder"], function(err, paths) {
    if (err)
        throw err;
    console.log(paths);
});

// async with buffer
fs.readFile(filePath, function(err, buffer) {
    if (err)
        throw err;
    fs.find(buffer, dirPath, [".*", "*.js"]).then(function(paths) {
        console.log(paths);
    }).catch(function(err) {
        throw err;
    });
})

// sync (if not provided dirPath is the working directory)
var paths = fs.findSync(filePath, [".*", "*.js"]);

API

/**
 * Recursively search for duplicates of the target file or buffer in the specified directory, returning the corresponding absolute paths (ASYNC).
 * @param {string or Buffer} pathOrBuffer - Path or buffer of the file to search.
 * @param {string} [dirPath] - Directory which represents the starting point of the search. Default is the working directory.
 * @param {Array} [ignorePatterns] - An array of patterns that will be excluded from the search (e.g. ["*.", "node_modules", "*.txt", "path/to/file", "path/to/directory"]).
 * @param {function} [cb] - Callback of type function(err, result). If not provided a Promise will be returned instead.
 * @return {} - Callback or Promise fulfilled with an array of absolute paths to duplicated files.
 */
function find(pathOrBuffer, dirPath, ignorePatterns, cb) { }


/**
 * Recursively search for duplicates of the target file or buffer in the specified directory, returning the corresponding absolute paths (SYNC).
 * @param {string or Buffer} pathOrBuffer - Path or buffer of the file to search.
 * @param {string} [dirPath] - Directory which represents the starting point of the search. Default is the working directory.
 * @param {Array} [ignorePatterns] - An array of patterns that will be excluded from the search (e.g. ["*.", "node_modules", "*.txt", "path/to/file", "path/to/directory"]).
 * @return {Array} - An array of absolute paths to duplicated files.
 */
function findSync(pathOrBuffer, dirPath, ignorePatterns) { } 

Notes

  • If dirPath is not provided, the search will start at working directory level.
  • For big files the async api is recommended.
