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

generator-met

An opinionated Meteor.js scaffolding tool for Yeoman.


Setup

Before you'll get any use out of this, you'll need to install Meteor and Yeoman

Here are the combined instructions at the time of this writing:

# Meteor
curl https://install.meteor.com | /bin/sh

# Yeoman
npm install -g yo

# This generator
npm install -g generator-met

Scaffolding

The following command will scaffold a new meteor app for you, including the iron-router, fastclick, jquery, coffeescript, and underscore packages by default, and your choice of stylus, less, or bootstrap for CSS preprocessing:

mkdir my-app && cd my-app
yo met

After your app is scaffolded, you'll want to install dependencies and start your app with:

meteor

Structure

The generated app will have the following structure by default:

/
    .meteor/
        .gitignore
        packages
        release
    client/
    	main.coffee
    	router.coffee
        vendor/
        views/
        	index/
        		index.html
        		index.coffee
        	layout/
        		layout.html
    lib/
        collections/
    packages/
    public/
    server/
        main.coffee
		methods.coffee
    	publications/
    .gitignore
	README.md
	index.html

Sub-Generators

We've also included a couple of Yeoman sub-generators to simplify common development tasks:

view

yo met:view my_view

Creates my_view.html and my_view.coffee

The location of these files depends on the template hierarchy set for the project:

  • Nested: Template files are created in a new folder named after the template, such as clients/views/my_view/
    • Flat: All template views are created in the same folder, clients/views/

package

yo met:package my-package

Scaffolds and installs a new package called "my-package".

collection

yo met:collection animals

Creates a new collection in lib/collections/animals.coffee and publication in server/publications/animals.coffee.

Adding Frontend Dependencies

The generator includes meteor-bower for managing frontend packages. To install a package, just use bower install [package-name] --save and all will automatically be added every time you run meteor.
