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

get-info

Utility functions extract project(s) Json by providing> project root path or package names.

get-info Works with monorepos ./packages/**/ as well as for a single package project ./myFiles.

npm install get-info

API

getJsonByName

Extracts package json, and resolved path for each project name. If names are not passed, it returns all json objects can be found in ./packages/**/package.json or ./package json

getJsonByName(...packNames?string)

The result object:

  • json: Array <packJson> - Contains objects of all retrieved package.json based on given names
  • pkgInfo: Array <packPath> - Contains objects of package paths based on package name
const { json, pkgInfo } = getJsonByName(...names);

Example(1)

import { getJsonByName } from "get-info";

// workspace
// │
// ├───foo
// │   ├───src
// │   └───package.json
// ├───bar
// │   ├───src
// │   └───package.json
// ├───foobar
// │   ├───src
// │

const { json, pkgInfo } = getJsonByName("foo", "bar");

// json = [
//   { name: "foo", version: "1.0.0", main: "index.js" },
//   { name: "bar", version: "2.1.1", main: "bundle.js" },
// ];

// pkgInfo = {
//   foo: { path: "path/to/foo" },
//   bar: { path: "path/to/bar" },
// };

What if passed invalid name? It returns empty array []

Example(2)

// workspace
// │
// ├───foo
// │   ├───src
// │   └───package.json
// ├───bar
// │   ├───src
// │   └───package.json
// ├───foobar
// │   ├───src
// │

const { json, pkgInfo } = getJsonByName("baz");

// json =[]

if (json.length === 0) console.log("do something");

getJsonByPath

Extracts package json, and its associated resolved path. If paths are not passed, it returns all json objects can be found in ./packages/**/package.json or ./package.json

getJsonByPath(...paths?string)

The result object:

  • json: Array <packJson> - Contains objects of all retrieved package.json based on given paths
  • pkgInfo: Array <packPath> - Contains objects of package paths based on package path
  • unfoundJson: Array <string> - List of paths don't have valid package.json
const { json, pkgInfo, unfoundJson } = getJsonByPath(...paths);

Example(3)

import { getJsonByPath } from "get-info";

// workspace
// │
// ├───foo
// │   ├───src
// │   └───package.json
// ├───bar
// │   ├───src
// │   └───package.json
// ├───foobar
// │   ├───src
// │

const { json, pkgInfo, unfoundJson } = getJsonByPath(
  `${__dirname}/foo`,
  `${__dirname}/bar`
);

// json = [
//   { name: "foo", version: "1.0.0", main: "index.js" },
//   { name: "bar", version: "2.1.1", main: "bundle.js" },
// ];

// pkgInfo = {
//   foo: { path: "path/to/foo" },
//   bar: { path: "path/to/bar" },
// };

// unfoundJson = ["path/to/foobar"];

By default, getJsonByPath returns all package in workspace tree.

// workspace
// │
// ├───foo
// │   ├───src
// │   └───package.json
// ├───bar
// │   ├───src
// │   └───package.json
// ├───foobar
// │   └───src
// │
// │───package.json

const { json, pkgInfo, unfoundJson } = getJsonByPath();

// json = [
//   { name: "foo", version: "1.0.0", main: "index.js" },
//   { name: "bar", version: "2.1.1", main: "bundle.js" },
// ];

// pkgInfo = {
//   foo: { path: "path/to/foo" },
//   bar: { path: "path/to/bar" },
// };

// unfoundJson = ["path/to/foobar"];
