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 🙏

HDMI CEC library that exposes cec-client as an Typescript API.

Readme

cec-client based Typescript API

Makes it possible for you to monitor incomming cec messages and send them, using a consistent promise-based API.

Features

This library makes it trivially easy to start supporting CEC-Remote events and the like for most TV sets. it supports

  • Easily send commands to CEC-enabled devices using a ready made library.
  • Promise-based API, where applicable.
  • TypeScript provides intellisense/type-completion for the entire library.
  • Only two node dependencies.

Planned features:

Features that are currently half implemented or coming to this library are:

  • Helper classes for the Television and Receiever commands: Planning to make it easier to send commands to tvs and stereos without knowledge of the CEC protocol.
  • More command functions in the Commander class: make it easier for beginners to send commands to any device on the cec-bus.
  • Expand examples.
  • Add introduction to HDMI-CEC docs.

Getting started

In order to start using this example, you need to have the cec-client app installed, and (preferably) in your $PATH. Some pointers on common devices:

Raspberry PI

On recent Raspberry PI images (jessie+) cec-client is installed by default, with the exception of really bare-minimum images. If you do need to install it (e.g. cec-client -h gives you an error), you can install it using (with a working internet connection):

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cec-utils

Example

Simple remote application:

Typescript:

import { Remote } from 'hdmi-cec';

// Create a new Remote helper (called without any arguments, it will create a cec-client process itself, with the default client name)
var remote = new Remote();

// When any button is pressed on the remote, we receive the event:
remote.on('keypress', evt => {
    console.log(`user pressed the key "${evt.key}" with code "${evt.keyCode}"`);
});

// Alternatively, we only wait for the user to press the "select" key
remote.on('keypress.select', () => {
    console.log(`user pressed the select key!`);
});

Javascript:

var cecRemote = require('hdmi-cec').Remote;

// Create a new Remote helper (called without any arguments, it will create a cec-client process itself, with the default client name)
var remote = new cecRemote();

// When any button is pressed on the remote, we receive the event:
remote.on('keypress', function(evt) {
    console.log('user pressed the key "'+ evt.key + '" with code "' + evt.keyCode + '"');
});

// Alternatively, we only wait for the user to press the "select" key
remote.on('keypress.select', function() {
    console.log('user pressed the select key!');
});
