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 🙏

Grunt tasks to build and run a REST Server with JSON Files

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt.

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-appverse-jsonserver --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-appverse-jsonserver');

The "jsonserver" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named jsonserver to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  jsonserver: {
    options: {
      keepAlive:true
    },
    your_target: {
      apidir: 'api',
      port: 8888,
      options : {
        keepAlive:true
      }
    },
  },
})

Settings

apidir

Type: String

A string value with project directory with JSON files to route by the json-server

port

Type: Integer

The port number to use by the json-server

options.keepAlive

Type: Boolean Default value: false

Keep the server alive indefinitely. Note that if this option is enabled, any tasks specified after this task will never run. By default, once grunt's tasks have completed, the web server stops. This option changes that behavior. Use it when you run jsonserver task as standalone task, it is not necessary to use it with watch task combination.

Usage Examples

Multiple instances

In this example, we are setting different servers that will serve different JSON folders.

grunt.initConfig({
  jsonserver: {   
    server_api: {
       apidir: 'api',
       port: 8989
    },
    server_api2: {
       apidir: 'api2',
       port: 8999
    },
  },
})

You can run one target:

grunt jsonserver:server_api

or

grunt jsonserver:server_api2

Or run all the targets:

grunt jsonserver
keepAlive multiple instances

Grunt multi target task will run all targets found if no target specified, so in order to keep alive all instances, you only need to set the flag in the last target.

grunt.initConfig({
  jsonserver: {   
    server_api: {
       apidir: 'api',
       port: 8989
    },
    server_api2: {
       apidir: 'api2',
       port: 8999,
       options: {
         keepAlive: true
       }
    },
  },
})

The "jserver" task

This task no needs configuration, it just will run the json-server with default behaviour.

Directory: api

Port: 8888

Keep Alive: false
