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 🙏

OS Support

Already tested in:

  • Ubuntu 16.04
  • macOS Sierra 10.12
  • Windows (NOT TESTED YET)

Installation

This module use native library libuiohook and require some installed packages.
I really hope find way for use build systems for online build or download prebuild packages.

npm install iohook --save

Ubuntu 16

  • sudo apt install libx11-dev libxtst-dev libxt-dev libx11-xcb-dev
  • sudo apt install libxkbcommon-dev libxkbcommon-x11-dev
  • npm install iohook --save

macOS

  • brew install cmake automake libtool pkg-config
  • npm install iohook --save

Electron users

Before install this module, you need specify build runtime.
Just add following to your package.json file (if you use two-package-json structure, add to app's package.json, not to build).

"cmake-js": {
  "runtime": "electron",
  "runtimeVersion": "1.4.7"
}

NOTE: Please don't forget type your version of electron

Usage

Module is pretty simple for use. There is example:

'use strict';
const ioHook = require('iohook');

ioHook.on("mousemove", event => {
  console.log(event);
  /* You get object like this
    {
      type: 'mousemove',
      x: 700,
      y: 400
    }
   */
});

//Register and start hook
ioHook.start();

If type ioHook.start(true); you can enable debug logger in native lib. Use it if you have troubles with this module
