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 🙏

Headquarters

Issue commands to your program while it is running.

Installation

$ npm install --save headquarters
var hq = require('headquarters');

Methods

command

hq.command(name, action);

Sets a command.

Parameters

  • name the name of the command (string)
  • action called whe the command is issued (function)

Type your command name in the console as your program is running followed by any additional parameters. The action function for that command will then be executed, with the additional parameters passed into the first argument of the function as an array.

raw

hq.raw(action);

Specify what to do with raw input (i.e. issue a command with no command name).

Parameters

  • action called when raw input (input with no established command) is entered (function)

The input is broken up by spaces, put into an array, and then passed into the action callback as a single parameter. Named commands can still be set and executed normally.

Example

var hq = require('headquarters');

hq.command('say', function (params) {
	console.log(params.join(' '));
});

In the command line, start your program:

$ node my_program.js

Then use your custom command:

say hello world!

Profit:

hello world!
