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, πŸ‘‹, I’m Ryan HefnerΒ  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 πŸ™

Example

General

#!/usr/bin/env node
import handleCliError from 'handle-cli-error'

const cliMain = () => {
  try {
    // ...
  } catch (error) {
    handleCliError(error) // Logs `error` then exit the process
  }
}

cliMain()

Error class-specific

handleCliError(error, {
  classes: {
    InputError: { exitCode: 1, stack: false },
    DatabaseError: { exitCode: 2, stack: false },
    default: { exitCode: 3 },
  },
})

Install

npm install handle-cli-error

This package works in Node.js >=18.18.0.

This is an ES module. It must be loaded using an import or import() statement, not require(). If TypeScript is used, it must be configured to output ES modules, not CommonJS.

API

handleCliError(error, options?)

error any
options Options?
Return value: undefined

Logs error on the console (stderr) then exits the process.

This never throws. Invalid errors are silently normalized.

Options

🚨 exitCode

Type: integer
Default: 1

Process exit code.

Note: when passing invalid options, the exit code is always 125.

πŸ“• stack

Type: boolean
Default: true

Whether to log the error's stack trace.

πŸ“’ props

Type: boolean
Default: true

Whether to log the error's additional properties.

πŸ”• silent

Type: boolean
Default: false

Exits the process without logging anything on the console.

πŸ–οΈ colors

Type: boolean
Default: true in terminals, false otherwise

Whether to colorize the error's message, stack trace and additional properties.

Quoted strings in the error's message are printed in bold (for "..." and '...') and in italic (for `...`).

❌ icon

Type: string
Default: 'cross'

Icon prepended to the error's name. The available values are listed here. Can be disabled by passing an empty string.

πŸ’„ header

Type: string
Default: 'red bold'

Color/style of the error's icon and name. The available values are listed here. Several styles can be specified by using spaces. Can be disabled by passing an empty string.

πŸš’ timeout

Type: integer (in milliseconds)
Default: 5000 (5 seconds)

The process exits gracefully: it waits for any ongoing tasks (callbacks, promises, etc.) to complete, up to a specific timeout.

Special values:

  • 0: Exits right away, without waiting for ongoing tasks
  • Number.POSITIVE_INFINITY: Waits for ongoing tasks forever, without timing out

πŸ’£ classes

Type: object
Default: {}

Specify different options per error class. The object:

  • Keys are either the error.name, or "default" (used if no error.name matches)
  • Values are options objects
