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 🙏

findjs -- Walk a file hierarchy, listing or grepping matching files

findjs is a CLI tool modeled after the unix tools FIND(1) and GREP(1). Like find, it can walk a file hierarchy and print to stdout the names of all files that satisfy some simple filters. findjs can also run egrep on each file.

findjs can't do anything that can't be done with find and grep, but it has some simple defaults that make it more convenient for node development. Those defaults are:

  1. Return only javascript files, i.e files with the extension .js.
  2. Do not search within any node_modules directory.
  3. Do not search within any .git directory.

These defaults can be overridden using the options --file-match and --dir-match.

Examples

List all .js files under the current directory, but omitting the .git and node_modules directories:

$ findjs
index.js
lib/descendents.js

Grep all .js files under the current directory for a pattern:

$ findjs -g exports
index.js
1:module.exports = require('./lib/descendents.js');

lib/descendents.js
69:module.exports = {

List all .js files containing a pattern (like grep -l):

$ findjs -m function
lib/descendents.js

USAGE

  Usage: findjs [options] [path...]

  Options:

    -h, --help                  output usage information
    -f, --file-match [pattern]  Include files that match pattern
    -d, --dir-match [pattern]   Exclude directories matching pattern
    -g, --grep [pattern]        Instead of listing files, grep each file for pattern
    -m, --match [pattern]       Only list files which contain pattern (grep -l)
