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

JSON Trasnformation Language

jsontl is a library inteded to allow tranformation of JSON data using a JSON-based transformation language. For more information, see the specification proposal.

##Format

The format for jsontl transforms (.jsontl files) is as follows:

{
	"jsont": {
		"version": "0.1",
		"transform": {
			"Property": [{
				"operation": {
					"param": "value"
				}
			}]
		}
	}
}

##Transform Definitions

JSONT transform definitions are defined by a JavaScript object containing, at a minimum, the name of a property of the object to transform, and an array of one or more Transform Operations to perform on that data.

###Example

{
	"Value": [
		"replace": {
			"with": "Two"
		}
	]
}

##Transformation Operations

So far, JSONT provides two basic transform operations: replace, and expand.

###replace

The replace operation replaces one value with another. It has one required and one optional argument.

{
	"replace": {
	"FirstName": {
		"with": "Bob",				// `with` value is required
		"when": {					// conditional `when` is optional
			"LastName": "Smith"
		}
	}
}

###extend

The extend operation recursively adds properties to an object. It has one required and one optional argument.

{
	"extend": {
		"MiddleInitial": "X",		// must provide at least one key/value pair to add
		"when" : {					// may optionally provide a `when` condition
			"FirstName" : "Bob"
		}
	}
}

###push

The push operation adds a value to a property, if that property's value is an Array type.

{
	"push": {
		"some": "object"
	}
}

####Conditional Operations

The when condition in JSONT transform operations defines an object with a set of key/value pairs that must all and match the values of that in the target object.

The if condition is similar to the when condition, but performs an OR operation. If any values provided match that of the data, the operation is excuted.

##Changelog

  • 0.1.0
    • Initial release. Includes replace and extend operations
  • 0.1.1
    • Major rewrite; no functional changes
  • 0.1.2

  • General code clean-up, extensive comments
