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 🙏

Overview

A simple Express boilerplate generator that creates a basic express app in MVC pattern with TypeScript and module support.

Features

  • Generates Express applications with either JavaScript or TypeScript.
  • Supports ES modules or CommonJS module system based on your preference.
  • Includes basic MVC structure with controllers, models, and views.
  • Pre-configured with EJS for templating and Morgan for logging.
  • TypeScript projects come with a tsconfig.json for easy configuration.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Ensure you have Node.js installed on your system. The generator requires Node.js version 12.0.0 or higher.

Usage

npx genexp <project-name> [options]

Replace <project-name> with the name of your new project.

Options

  • -d, --directory <directory>: Specify the directory where the project will be created. Defaults to the current directory.
  • -t, --typescript: Generates a TypeScript-based Express application.
  • -m, --modules: Uses ES modules instead of CommonJS. Applicable for both JavaScript and TypeScript projects.

Project Structure

Upon running the generator, you'll find the following structure in your project directory:

  • For JavaScript projects:

    my-new-project/
    ├── app.js
    ├── package.json
    ├── controllers/
    │   └── homeController.js
    ├── models/
    │   └── example.js
    ├── views/
    │   └── home.ejs
    └── routes/
        └── index.js
  • For TypeScript projects:

    my-new-project/
    ├── src/
    │   ├── app.ts
    │   ├── controllers/
    │   │   └── homeController.ts
    │   ├── models/
    │   │   └── example.ts
    │   └── routes/
    │       └── index.ts
    ├── views/
    │   └── home.ejs
    ├── package.json
    └── tsconfig.json

Development

After generating your project, navigate to the project directory:

cd my-new-project

Install dependencies:

npm install

Start the development server:

npm run dev

Your application will be accessible at http://localhost:3000.
