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 🙏

getRandomJs for NPM

link to npm package:

https://www.npmjs.com/package/getrandomjs?activeTab=explore

Have you ever been tired of having to get a random element from an array, string, or object and you have to use Math.floor(Math.random()* el.length)?

Well now this process is simplified!

With getrandomjs, you can pass in a string, array, min/max, or object and get a random element back!

If you decide to not pass anything in, it will just give you a random number between 1-100.

How to use?

In the root of the project, Run:

npm i getrandomjs

Then you can import into a JS file using:

const random = require('getrandomjs')

Feel free to rename the const to whatever works easiest for you!

Now you can just use

random()

Example with Object:

const random = require('getrandomjs');

let obj = {a: 1, b: 2, c:3}
random(obj) // => random value from obj, either 1,2, or 3

Example with Array:

const random = require('getrandomjs');

let arr = [1,2,3,4,5]

random(arr) // => random value in arr
const random = require('getrandomjs');

let min = 0
let max = 10

random(min, max) // returns a random number between 0 and 10
const random = require('getrandomjs');

random('hello world') //randon char within the string
const random = require('getrandomjs');

random() //random number between 0 and 100

Happy coding!
