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 🙏

API

.hasScreenCapturePermission(): boolean

Whether or not the current app has the required permissions to record the screen. If this is the first time attempting, a permissions dialog will be shown to the user. Any subsequent calls to hasScreenCapturePermission will just check for the permission but won't show a dialog. If the user denied the original request, you need to prompt them to enable the permissions in the System Preferences.

This can be reset by calling resetPermissions. The dialog will be shown again after that.

Returns true on macOS versions older than 10.15 since this permission wasn't present

.hasPromptedForPermission(): boolean

Note: Only works for Electron apps

Whether or not the permission dialog has been shown to the user. Will be false if you haven't called hasScreenCapturePermission for this app yet, and true otherwise.

This can be reset by calling resetPermissions,

Returns false on macOS versions older than 10.15 since this permission wasn't present

.resetPermissions({bundleId?: string}): boolean

Reset the ScreenCapture permissions. It will reset the permissions for all apps, so use with care. Provide a bundleId (i.e. com.apple.Terminal) to reset the permissions only for that app.

Calls tccutil reset ScreenCapture [bundleId].

This will revoke access if it was previously granted, and it will trigger the permissions dialog the next time hasScreenCapturePermission is called.

Returns true if the command executed successfully and false otherwise.

Returns false on macOS versions older than 10.15 since this permission wasn't present

.openSystemPreferences(): Promise<void>

Open the System Preferences in the Screen Recording permissions section under the Security pane.

Only available in Electron apps.

Returns a Promise that resolves when the window is opened
