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 🙏

Langium

Langium is a language engineering tool with built-in support for the Language Server Protocol. It has a simple and direct integration with the VS Code extension API.

More information: 🌍 https://langium.org

Getting Started

Langium offers a Yeoman generator to create a new language extension for VS Code. The only prerequisite for the following terminal commands is NodeJS version 16 or higher.

  1. Install Yeoman and the Langium extension generator.
npm install -g yo generator-langium
  1. Run the generator and answer a few questions.
yo langium
  1. Open the new folder in VS Code (replace hello-world with the extension name you chose).
code hello-world
  1. Press F5 to launch the extension in a new Extension Development Host window.

  2. Open a folder, create a file with your chosen file name extension (.hello is the default), and see that validation and completion (ctrl+space) works:

Follow the instructions in langium-quickstart.md (in your extension folder) and the documentation on the website to go further.

How Does it Work?

The core of Langium is a grammar declaration language in which you describe multiple aspects of your language:

  • Tokens (keywords and terminal rules)
  • Syntax (parser rules)
  • Abstract syntax tree (AST)

Please follow the Langium documentation to learn how to use this language.

Langium features a command line interface (langium-cli) that reads a grammar declaration and generates TypeScript type declarations for the AST and more.

Integration with the Language Server Protocol (LSP) is done with vscode-languageserver. You have full access to the LSP API in Langium, so you can register additional message handlers or extend the protocol in a breeze.

The main code of Langium consists of a set of services that are connected via dependency injection (DI). You can override the default functionality and add your own service classes by specifying a DI module.

Examples

The source repository of Langium includes examples that demonstrate different use cases.
