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-then v1.0.0

Schedule a Function to be called without ever registering it via grunt.registerTask. This is called an anonymous task.

grunt
  .run("coffee")
  .then(function () {
    console.log(this.name)
  })

As seen above, the this context in anonymous tasks is just like in normal tasks.

Plus, you can fail an anonymous task early (just like in normal tasks).

grunt.task
  .then(function () {
    return false // synchronous failure
  })
  .then(function () {
    var done = this.async()
    performAsyncOperation(function () {
      done(false) // asynchronous failure
    })
  })

Debugging is easier when an anonymous task has a description. Of course, this is optional.

grunt.task.then("A description of what I'm doing", function () {
  // do cool grunty things
})

If the --verbose flag is used and a description is provided, it will be printed when the anonymous task starts.

Schedule an existing task to be called with a single-use configuration. This is called an anonymous target.

grunt.then("clean", {
  // Calls the 'clean' task with temporary configuration (after the previous task completes).
})

install

npm install --save-dev grunt-then

In your Gruntfile:

grunt.loadNpmTasks("grunt-then")

Use load-grunt-tasks when you have more than one NPM task to load.
