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

Like FS streams, but with stat on them, and supporting directories and symbolic links, as well as normal files. Also, you can use this to set the stats on a file, even if you don't change its contents, or to create a symlink, etc.

So, for example, you can "write" a directory, and it'll call mkdir. You can specify a uid and gid, and it'll call chown. You can specify a mtime and atime, and it'll call utimes. You can call it a symlink and provide a linkpath and it'll call symlink.

Note that it won't automatically resolve symbolic links. So, if you call fstream.Reader('/some/symlink') then you'll get an object that stats and then ends immediately (since it has no data). To follow symbolic links, do this: fstream.Reader({path:'/some/symlink', follow: true }).

There are various checks to make sure that the bytes emitted are the same as the intended size, if the size is set.

Examples

fstream
  .Writer({ path: "path/to/file"
          , mode: 0755
          , size: 6
          })
  .write("hello\n")
  .end()

This will create the directories if they're missing, and then write hello\n into the file, chmod it to 0755, and assert that 6 bytes have been written when it's done.

fstream
  .Writer({ path: "path/to/file"
          , mode: 0755
          , size: 6
          , flags: "a"
          })
  .write("hello\n")
  .end()

You can pass flags in, if you want to append to a file.

fstream
  .Writer({ path: "path/to/symlink"
          , linkpath: "./file"
          , SymbolicLink: true
          , mode: "0755" // octal strings supported
          })
  .end()

If isSymbolicLink is a function, it'll be called, and if it returns true, then it'll treat it as a symlink. If it's not a function, then any truish value will make a symlink, or you can set type: 'SymbolicLink', which does the same thing.

Note that the linkpath is relative to the symbolic link location, not the parent dir or cwd.

fstream
  .Reader("path/to/dir")
  .pipe(fstream.Writer("path/to/other/dir"))

This will do like cp -Rp path/to/dir path/to/other/dir. If the other dir exists and isn't a directory, then it'll emit an error. It'll also set the uid, gid, mode, etc. to be identical. In this way, it's more like rsync -a than simply a copy.
