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-replace-configvalues

Replace values in a config.js or config.json file by grunt.

 **--conf:key.subkey=new_value**

Example:

grunt --conf:host.url=http://www.example.com \
      --conf:database.credentials.username=piere \
      --conf:database.credentials.password=quah4ies3Poo8
      

will replace the values in the config.js file:

   module.exports = {
      host: {
         url: 'http://localhost'
      },
      database: {
         credentials: {
            username: 'noname',
            password: 'secret'
         }
      }
   }

to:

   module.exports = {
      host: {
         url: 'http://www.example.com'
      },
      database: {
         credentials: {
            username: 'piere',
            password: 'quah4ies3Poo8'
         }
      }
   }

Why

This grunt task is build because configuration parameters are dynamic and will be set while ci-servers are build the projet. I always use local dev parameters inside the porojet and jenkis replace them with the correkt values for the stage and production cluster servers.

Hope it helps you too to manage your project deployments from Jenkins or any other ci-server.

How

Install grunt-replace-configvalues:

   npm install grunt-replace-configvalues --save-dev

Than inside the Gruntfile.js:


   // load the task
   grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-string-replace');

   // configure the task
   grunt.initConfig({
       	configvalues: {
		options: {
		   src: './config.js'
		}
	}	
   });  

   // and than run the task
   grunt.registerTask('default', ['configvalues']);

Multiple files are supported since Version 1.0.0:


   // load the task
   grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-string-replace');

   // configure the task
   grunt.initConfig({
       	configvalues: {
		options: {
		   src: ['./config.js', './hosts.js']
		}
	}	
   });  

   // and than run the task
   grunt.registerTask('default', ['configvalues']);

You can replace json files in version 1.0.0, too:


   // load the task
   grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-string-replace');

   // configure the task
   grunt.initConfig({
       	configvalues: {
		options: {
		   src: ['./config.js', './hosts.json']
		}
	}	
   });  

   // and than run the task
   grunt.registerTask('default', ['configvalues']);

If you have to set the file from the command line, you can do now with Version 1.0.0:

grunt --conf:host=127.0.0.1 --conffiles=hosts.js

Or even with a list of files:

grunt --conf:host=127.0.0.1 --conffiles=hosts.js,config.json

Arrays

You can, replace a value with an array:

grunt --conf:hosts=["192.0.3.12", "192.0.3.13"]

Limitations

  • At this time, there is no way to set the config parameter inside of the Gruntfile.js. Just say --conf:key=value at an argument of the grunt command line.
