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

list-bower-paths

Get paths for bower modules, from the main property of bower.json files.

Why?

If you use bower for dependency management, and have a build process that bundles up an app composed of AMD modules (e.g. with the RequireJS optimizer), you probably need to know the location on disk of the modules you're require()ing.

You can run bower list --path on the command line, or (if you're using a node.js build tool like grunt or gobble) run it in a child process then capture and parse the result, but boy is it slow. You certainly don't want to have to do it each time you build.

This module offers a better way.

Installation

npm install --save-dev list-bower-paths

Usage

Both asynchronous and synchronous modes are supported.

Async

var lbp = require( 'list-bower-paths' );

// using promises
lpb().then( function ( paths ) {
  console.log( 'bower paths:', paths );
}, handleError );

// using callbacks
lbp( function ( err, paths ) {
  if ( err ) return handleError( err );
  console.log( 'bower paths:', paths );
});

Sync

var lbp = require( 'list-bower-paths' );

var paths = lbp.sync();
console.log( 'bower paths:', paths );

Options

You can pass in an options object as the first argument:

lbp({
  relative: true,
  noext: true
}).then( function ( paths ) {
  console.log( 'bower paths:', paths );
});

Supported options are:

  • cwd - the current working directory. Defaults to the closest directory to process.cwd() that contains a .bowerrc file (or process.cwd() itself, if no .bowerrc can be found)
  • directory - in the absence of a .bowerrc file, this is where your bower components are located. Defaults to bower_components
  • relative - defaults to false. If true, paths are relative to directory
  • noext - defaults to false. If true, .js file extensions are removed (helpful for the RequireJS optimizer, which somehow isn't smart enough to handle file extensions by itself)
