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 🙏

#ljswitchboard-require

A special "require" extension developed for the ljswitchboard project aka (Kipling). This project has a unique requirement where a single node-js process was split among multiple root directories. The program needs to be stored in several "chunks" to run optimally therefore requiring the use of multiple "node_module" directories. This project allows users to declare "root" directories that require would normally operate properly in and require the node_modules available in those directories.

Essentially, this module calls the nodejs require function with a stored "n" number of additional paths that gets automatically appended to the require call once it is appropriately initialized.

To the list described on the node.js modules describing Loadinf from node_modules Folders, ljswitchboard-require adds a customizable "n" number of additional directories to search in.

aka (mimicking the node.js example): If the file at '/home/ry/projects/foo.js' called ljswitchboard-require.require('bar.js'), then node will essentially look in the following locations:

  • /home/ry/projects/node_modules/bar.js
  • /home/ry/node_modules/bar.js
  • /home/node_modules/bar.js
  • /node_modules/bar.js
  • /yourDirectory/bar.js
  • /process.cwd()/bar.js

NOTE: The one flaw of this library as of right now is that require doesn't get executed from the path of the caller and I am not sure how it will perform when multiple modules start to use it. The fix for this may be to switch to using rekuire instead of require but I am avoiding this right now for speed purposes.
