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 🙏

Create a new file with the name index.js and add the following contents inside it: const axios = require('axios'); const getRepos = async ({ username = 'myogeshchavan97', page = 1, per_page = 30 } = {}) => { try { const repos = await axios.get( https://api.github.com/users/${username}/repos?page=${page}&per_page=${per_page}&sort=updated ); return repos.data .map((repo) => { return { name: repo.name, url: repo.html_url, description: repo.description, stars: repo.stargazers_count }; }) .sort((first, second) => second.stars - first.stars); } catch (error) { return []; } };

getRepos().then((repositories) => console.log(repositories)); Let's understand the code first.

You have created a getRepos function that accepts an optional object with username, page and per_page properties. Then you used object destructuring syntax for getting those properties out of the object. Passing an object to the function is optional so we have initialized it to default values if the object is not passed to the function like this: { username = 'myogeshchavan97', page = 1, per_page = 30 } = {} The reason for assigning an empty object {} is to not get an error while destructuring username from the object if the object is not passed. Check out my previous article to learn about destructuring in detail. Then inside the function, you are making a call to the GitHub API by passing the required parameters to get the repositories of the specified user sorted by the updated date. const repos = await axios.get( https://api.github.com/users/${username}/repos?page=${page}&per_page=${per_page}&sort=updated ); Here, you are using async/await syntax so the getRepos function is declared as async. Then you are selecting only the required fields from the response using the Array map method repos.data .map((repo) => { return { name: repo.name, url: repo.html_url, description: repo.description, stars: repo.stargazers_count }; }) Then that result is sorted by descending order of stars so the first element in the list will be with the highest stars .sort((first, second) => second.stars - first.stars); If there is any error, you are returning an empty array in the catch block. As the getRepos function is declared as async, you will get back a promise so you are using .then handler to get the result of the getRepos function call and printing to the console. getRepos().then((repositories) => console.log(repositories));
