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 🙏

This node.js module can map your file directory structure into a virtual XML DOM data-structure. And then you can use jQuery selector feature to manipulate your directories/files.

Project Page

Install

$ npm install --save file-query

Quick Samples

Specify base directory

var fileQuerySync = require('file-query').fileQuerySync;
var $ = fileQuerySync('D:/temp/baseDir');

This would map the target directory "D:/temp/baseDir" as the base working directory. Later on select queries/manipulations would base on this base file path.

The "$" returned from fileQuerySync is a jQuery function. You can then query directories/files with this jQuery object by selector syntax. You can see the jQuery selector document from here

1. Search directories with specific name

$('dir[name="d4"]').each(function(i, em){
    let name = $(em).attr('name');
    let filePath = $(em).attr('filePath');
    console.log(`${i+1}: name: ${name}, filePath: ${filePath}`);
});

output:

1: name: f4, filePath: D:/temp/baseDir/d1/d3/d4

The above would try to query file paths and log found results. The query selector dir[name="d4"] is a jQuery selector. It means that searching all directory with name "d4" under the baseDir.

2. Search File with specific name

$('ile[name="f5.txt"]').each(function(i, em){
    let name = $(em).attr('name');
    let filePath = $(em).attr('filePath');
    console.log(`${i+1}: name: ${name}, filePath: ${filePath}`);
});

output:

1: name: f5.txt, filePath: D:/temp/baseDir/d1/d3/d4/f5.txt

The above would is similar to previous sample, but using selector file[name="f5.txt"] to query file with name "f5.txt".

3. Search File name end with ".txt"

$(`file[name$=".txt"]`).each(function(i, em){
    let name = $(em).attr('name');
    let filePath = $(em).attr('filePath');
    console.log(`${i+1}: name: ${name}, filePath: ${filePath}`);
});

output:

1: name: f5.txt, filePath: D:/temp/baseDir/d1/d3/d4/f5.txt
2: name: f3.txt, filePath: D:/temp/baseDir/d1/f3.txt
3: name: f4.txt, filePath: D:/temp/baseDir/d1/f4.txt
4: name: f1.txt, filePath: D:/temp/baseDir/f1.txt
5: name: f2.txt, filePath: D:/temp/baseDir/f2.txt

The above sample used selector file[name$=".txt"] to query file with name attribute end with ".txt".

4. Search File name end with ".txt" (by "baseExt" attribute)

$(`file[baseExt$=".txt"]`).each(function(i, em){
    let name = $(em).attr('name');
    let filePath = $(em).attr('filePath');
    console.log(`${i+1}: name: ${name}, filePath: ${filePath}`);
});

The above sample has the same effect as the previous sample. However, it is using selector file[baseExt$=".txt"] to query file with "baseExt" attribute equal to ".txt".


File directory to XML DOM mapping

In the concept of file-query module, file directory structure is mapped into a virtual XML DOM structure. Take this as example: root

├─ d1

│...└ d2

│...│..└ foo.txt

│...└ bar.txt

This may mapped into a virtual XML DOM structure like this:

<repo name="DEFAULT_REPO" filepath="D:/root">
<dir name="folder" dirname="D:/root" basename="d1" baseext="" 
filepath="D:/root/d1" isfile="false" isdir="true" size="0">
    <dir name="d2" dirname="D:/root/d1" 
    basename="d2" baseext="" filepath="D:/root/d1/d2" isfile="false"
    isdir="true" size="0">
        <file name="foo.txt" dirname="D:/root/d1/d2" 
        basename="foo" baseext=".txt" filepath="D:/root/d1/d2/foo.txt" 
        isfile="true" isdir="false" size="10">
        </file>
    </dir>
    <file name="bar.txt" dirname="D:/root/d1" 
    basename="bar" baseext=".txt" filepath="D:/root/d1/bar.txt" 
    isfile="true" isdir="false" size="5">
    </file>
</dir>
</repo>  

Directories

Directories would map into XML DOM element named dir. It would have below attributes:

| Attribute name | Description | Example | | ------------- | ------------- | ------- | | name | Directory name | d1 | | dirname | Parent directory path | D:/root | | basename | Directory name(same as name) | d1 | | baseext | (Not used) | | | filepath | File path | D:/root/d1 | | isfile | Whether this is file | false | | isDir | Whether this is directory | true | | size | (Not used) | |

Files

Files would map into XML DOM element named file. It would have below attributes:

| Attribute name | Description | Example | | ------------- | ------------- | ------- | | name | File name | bar.txt | | dirname | Parent directory path | D:/root/d1 | | basename | File base name without extension | bar | | baseext | File base extension | .txt | | filepath | File path | D:/root/d1/bar.txt | | isfile | Whether this is file | true | | isDir | Whether this is directory | false | | size | File size(bytes) | 5 |
