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

grunt-hardlink v0.2.0

Create hard links.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.1

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-hardlink --save-dev

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

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-hardlink');

Hardlink task

Run this task with the grunt hardlink command.

Task targets, files and options may be specified according to the grunt Configuring tasks guide. Pay special attention to the Building the files object dynamically section, which explains how to create many src-dest file mappings all at once.

Usage Examples

hardlink: {
  // Enable overwrite to delete hardlinks before recreating them
  options: {
    overwrite: false
  },
  // The "build/target.txt" hardlink will be created and linked to
  // "source/target.txt".
  explicit: {
    src: 'source/target.txt',
    dest: 'build/target.txt'
  },
  // These examples using "expand" to generate src-dest file mappings:
  // http://gruntjs.com/configuring-tasks#building-the-files-object-dynamically
  expanded: {
    files: [
      // All child files in "source", starting with "foo-" will be hardlinked
      // into the "build" directory, with the leading "source" stripped off.
      // Note that it is not generally possible to hardlink directories, so
      // using "isFile" filter is often a necessary measure to avoid this kind
      // of error.
      {
        expand: true,
        overwrite: false,
        cwd: 'source',
        src: ['foo-*'],
        dest: 'build',
        filter: 'isFile',
      },
      // All files inside "bar" and its sub-directories, recursively, will be
      // hardlinked into an identical hierarchy under the "tmp" directory.
      {
        expand: true,
        src: 'bar/**',
        dest: 'tmp',
        filter: 'isFile',
      }
    ]
  },
}

CLI overwrite option

To override the overwrite option via the CLI pass it as an option

  grunt hardlink --overwrite

Usage tips on Microsoft Windows

Make sure your command prompt has administrative privileges, otherwise the task will not work.
