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

[!WARNING]

This library does not manage rename event, you will receive two different events instead:

  • First event is unlink, with old path to the file
  • Second event is new, with new path to the file

You can handle it on your own with handling this kind of scenarios. Also don't use this library if you want to manage remote repositories, try fs.watchFile instead.

npm i filesnitch --save
const Snitch = require('filesnitch');
const snitch = new Snitch({
  timeout: 200, // Events debouncing for queue (default 1000)
  filter: new RegExp(/[\D\d]+\.ignore\D*/), // Ignore files and directories
  // filter: path => new RegExp(/[\D\d]+\.ignore\D*/).test(path), // (Function)
  // filter: /[\D\d]+\.ignore\D*/, // (RegExp)
  // filter: '/[\D\d]+\.ignore\D*/', // (string)
  recursive: false, // Include nested directories (default: true)
  home: process.cwd(), // Removes root path from emits, Warning: ignore will work on full paths
});

snitch.watchSync('/home/user/Downloads').watchSync('/home/user/Documents');
snitch.watch('/home/user/Desktop', (event, path, details) => console.log('New File ! Desktop'));
snitch.on('before', events => console.log({ before: events }));
snitch.on('update', (path, details) => console.log({ changed: path, details }));
snitch.on('unlink', path => console.log({ deleted: path }));
snitch.on('new', path => console.log({ new: path }));
snitch.on('event', (event, path, details) => console.log({ event, path, details }));
snitch.on('after', events => console.log({ after: events }));
