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

🐣 indefinitely-typed

For TypeScript declarations that are still ...hatching.

What this does

Copies your folders into the dependee's node_modules/@types/ folder. Because that's where the TypeScript compiler might look for it - see TypeScript Module Resolution.

Why you may need it

DefinitelyTyped is the repository for high quality TypeScript type definitions. Use this tool if:

  • your definitions are "pre-release", lacking tests or incomplete, but you still need to use them in a project.
  • you need to maintain versioning not possible with the @types publisher.
  • you need to publish on demand, and not wait for the @types publisher.

Usage

Let's say that you want to create TypeScript declarations for cool-package.

  1. Create an NPM package for your typings, perhaps name it cool-package-typings.
  2. npm install indefinitely-typed.
  3. Create a folder named cool-package.
  4. Add declaration files in this folder, like index.d.ts.
  5. In the package.json's scripts, add a postinstall script like this:
"postinstall": "indefinitely-typed --folder cool-package"

Now, when somebody installs cool-package-typings, they will have a node_modules/@types/cool-package folder, readily usable by their TypeScript project.

Multiple packages

If you have multiple packages, add more folder parameters like this:

indefinitely-typed --folder folder1 --folder folder2 --folder folder3
