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.

npm pack text search

find-in-npm-pack

Description

A CLI tool that searches for text strings inside npm packages tar files.

installation

with npm:

  npm install find-in-npm-pack --save-dev

with yarn:

  yarn add find-in-npm-pack --dev

Usage

npm-find-in-files mysecret1 mysecret2

It is recommended to use this CLI tool inside a npm script which is executed during your CI build.

How it works

Runs npm pack in the cwd to create the output tar file.
Scans the output tar file and collect a list of the files it contains.
Reads each of the contained files, and search for the text strings.
- Note that the files are read directly from the file system, not the tar file.
If an issue was detected print to stderr and exit with exitcode 1
Will always delete the output tar file before closing the process.

Limitations

Searches for text strings verbatim, no support for regular expressions.
Has a side effect of creating and immediately deleting the npm pack output tar file.
Implemented as sync operations.
Assumes the contents of the tar file are text files in UTF-8 encoding.
