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-json-sort

A grunt task for alphabetizing JSON files, irrespective of their type(s).

Community

If you have any problems setting up or using grunt-json-sortn, open an issue. I would be happy to help.

This is an active repository that takes user suggestions, feedback and pull requests seriously. Happy grunting!

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.0

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-json-sort --save-dev

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

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-json-sort');

The "sortJSON" task

Overview

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

grunt.initConfig({
	sortJSON: {
		src: [
			'translations/english.json',
			'translations/french.json'
		]
	}
});

Options

options.spacing

Type: Number Default value: 4

Number of spaces to indent JSON after sorting. Note there is a hard limit of 10 spaces. See MDN's definition of JSON.stringify for more details.

options.jshintrc

Type: String Default value: undefined

Relative path to your project's jshintrc file. If it exists then grunt-json-sort will use the rules defined by jshint

Usage Examples

Default Options

All you need to do is specify the files to alphabetize as the source files. Here, we opt to use the rules defined by our .jshintrc file.

	grunt.initConfig({
		sortJSON: {
			src: [
				'translations/english.json',
				'translations/french.json'
			],
			options: {
				jshintrc: '.jshintrc'
			}
		}
	});

or

	grunt.initConfig({
		sortJSON: {
			task: {
				src: [
					'translations/english.json',
					'translations/french.json'
				],
				options: {
					spacing: 6
				}
			}
		}
	});

Before Sorting

{
		"two": "2",
		"one": "1",
		"3": "three",
		"4": {
				"b": "b",
				"a": "a"
		}
}

After Sorting

{
		"3": "three",
		"4": {
				"a": "a",
				"b": "b"
		},
		"one": "1",
		"two": "2"
}
