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-img-find-and-copy

A Grunt plugin to find only the used images in your CSS and HTML files and copy those images to your build location.

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-img-find-and-copy --save-dev

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

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-img-find-and-copy');

The "img_find_and_copy" task

Overview

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

grunt.initConfig({
  img_find_and_copy: {
        resources: {
          files: {
            'build': ['css/**/*.css', '*.html']
          }
        }
      }
})

The options are pretty simple, in the example above 'build': ['css/**/*.css', '*.html'] the build is the location folder where you want your images copied to, this is ideally your build folder (e.g. dist etc). The array of wildcard file definitions in ['css/**/*.css', '*.html'] are the files that will be evaluated for image references.

You can specify CSS or HTML files, once images are found they will be copied to the build folder and the relative paths will be mapped and resolved so all original paths remain the same.

Usage Examples

Default Options

Evaluate all my local CSS and HTML files that are used in Dev mode and copy all the referenced images to my build folder. So I can have 100s of reference images in Dev mode (if needed) but only have the used actually used by my app to appear in my final build.

grunt.initConfig({
  img_find_and_copy: {
        resources: {
          files: {
            'build': ['css/**/*.css', '*.html']
          }
        }
      }
})

Contributing

In lieu of a formal styleguide, take care to maintain the existing coding style. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality. Lint and test your code using Grunt.
