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 🙏

A generator for Yeoman.

Getting Started

What is Yeoman?

Trick question. It's not a thing. It's this guy:

Basically, he wears a top hat, lives in your computer, and waits for you to tell him what kind of application you wish to create.

Not every new computer comes with a Yeoman pre-installed. He lives in the npm package repository. You only have to ask for him once, then he packs up and moves into your hard drive. Make sure you clean up, he likes new and shiny things.

$ npm install -g yo

Yeoman Generators

Yeoman travels light. He didn't pack any generators when he moved in. You can think of a generator like a plug-in. You get to choose what type of application you wish to create, such as a Backbone application or even a Chrome extension.

This generator provides a starting point for developing UI modules for the Open-Xchange Appsuite ecosystem. To install generator-ox-ui-module from npm, run:

$ npm install -g generator-ox-ui-module

Finally, initiate one of the generators:

$ yo ox-ui-module
$ yo ox-ui-module:deb-pkg
$ yo ox-ui-module:rpm-pkg

Getting To Know Yeoman

Yeoman has a heart of gold. He's a person with feelings and opinions, but he's very easy to work with. If you think he's too opinionated, he can be easily convinced.

If you'd like to get to know Yeoman better and meet some of his friends, Grunt and Bower, check out the complete Getting Started Guide.

ox-ui-module generator

This generator will provide scaffolding for Appsuite UI modules. It provides a basic setup to help getting started with development. Yeoman tries hard to provide sane defaults for any questions. The default module name will be read from a package.json file or, if not found, the current directory name will be used.

Generating packaging information

It is possible to generate packaging information for UI modules using this generator. Some meta-data can be provided in the modules package.json file:

  • name field: used as package name
  • version field: used as package version
  • author field: used as package maintainer
  • description field: used for package description
  • license field: used as package license
  • summary field: used as package summary

All these fields are optional, Yeoman will ask about any missing mandatory information. For optional fields, sane defaults will be used, so you might want to check the content of the generated files, afterwards.

ox-ui-module:deb-pkg generator

This generator will provide scaffolding for debian-based packaging information. It will create a debian/ directory containing all files needed to build .deb packages.

If you like to maintain packaging information separated from the actual sources of your module, you can run

$ yo ox-ui-module:deb-pkg --package /path/to/package.json

and point Yeoman to a package.json file of an UI module.

ox-ui-module:rpm-pkg generator

This generator will provide scaffolding for RPM-based packaging information. It will create a spec-file containing all information needed to build .rpm packages.

If you like to maintain packaging information separated from the actual sources of your module, you can run

$ yo ox-ui-module:rpm-pkg --package /path/to/package.json

and point Yeoman to a package.json file of an UI module.
