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 🙏

Utility for getting an assemble view from a collection object.

Please consider following this project's author, Jon Schlinkert, and consider starring the project to show your :heart: and support.

Install

Install with npm:

$ npm install --save get-view

Usage

Should work with any collection of vinyl files.

const getView = require('get-view');

templates example

Given the following setup code, all of the below examples would return a view from the app.views.pages collection:

const templates = require('templates');
app = templates();
app.create('page');

app.page('foo', {content: 'this is foo'});
app.page('bar.md', {content: 'this is bar'});
app.page('a/b/c/baz.md', {content: 'this is baz', base: 'a'});
app.page('test/fixtures/templates/a.tmpl');

Get a view by customizing the lookup key with a function:

const view = getView(app.views.pages, function(view) {
  return view.stem === 'foo.md';
});

//=> <View "foo" <Buffer 74 68 69 73 20 69>>

Get a view by view.path

const view = getView(app.views.pages, 'a/b/c/baz.md');
//=> <View "b/c/baz.md" <Buffer 74 68 69 73>>

Get a view by view.basename

const view = getView(app.views.pages, 'baz.md');
//=> <View "b/c/baz.md" <Buffer 74 68 69 73>>

Get a view by view.filename

const view = getView(app.views.pages, 'baz');
//=> <View "b/c/baz.md" <Buffer 74 68 69 73>>

Get a view by view.relative

const view = getView(app.views.pages, 'b/c/baz.md');
//=> <View "b/c/baz.md" <Buffer 74 68 69 73>>

Release history

v2.0

Breaking changes

  • The order of arguments has been reversed, so that the collection of views is passed first, and the lookup value is second.
  • No longer matches with globs. This can be done by passing a glob matcher as the second argument.
