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

Jade server

Jader lets you start a basic server in any folder.

It compiles Jade templates, with embedded or linked CoffeeScript, Markdown and Stylus files.

Please note: This is only intended for aiding development.

If you want to use Jade templates in production, consider using Express.

Alternatively, you can compile Jade files with jade index.jade or Gulp, but you may not have access to filters this way. Static files can then be served with Nginx.

Usage

You should install Jader globally so that it creates the executable script for you.

npm install -g jader

You can then start the server on localhost in any directory:

jader

If you need to use a different port to 80, use:

jader -p 1337

Jader will also serve any other static files in the directory.

Local variables

You can test the variables in templates by including a ".json" file along with each ".jade" file.

Any JSON file with the same base-name as the Jade template will be read and passed into the template as local variables.

Example

index.jade

doctype html
html
	head
		title #{title}
	body
		p #{message}

index.json

{
	"title": "My Page",
	"message": "It works!"
}
