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

mangogrep

A command-line utility that "greps" stdin, applying a CouchDB-style Mango "selector" to filter the data, with matching items being passed to stdout.

If we have a a "jsonl" file (one JSON object per line in a text file) (or one array of objects per line):

{"_id":"735030","_rev":"1-a6a5871f06709450a7e3d14fccf4484c","name":"Náousa","latitude":40.62944,"longitude":22.06806,"country":"GR","population":19887,"timezone":"Europe/Athens","_revisions":{"start":1,"ids":["a6a5871f06709450a7e3d14fccf4484c"]}}
{"_id":"735861","_rev":"1-73f30984f6891cdcc0dfdcfe6277233d","name":"Kavála","latitude":40.93959,"longitude":24.40687,"country":"GR","population":54027,"timezone":"Europe/Athens","_revisions":{"start":1,"ids":["73f30984f6891cdcc0dfdcfe6277233d"]}}
{"_id":"694864","_rev":"1-09af55b85cac9974b691abf0f621dec0","name":"Sambir","latitude":49.5183,"longitude":23.19752,"country":"UA","population":35197,"timezone":"Europe/Kiev","_revisions":{"start":1,"ids":["09af55b85cac9974b691abf0f621dec0"]}}

We can use mangogrep to extract a subset of the data:

# find documents that contain a 'country' field whose value is 'UA'
$ cat myfile.jsonl | mangogrep --selector '{"country":"UA"}'
{"_id":"694864","_rev":"1-09af55b85cac9974b691abf0f621dec0","name":"Sambir","latitude":49.5183,"longitude":23.19752,"country":"UA","population":35197,"timezone":"Europe/Kiev","_revisions":{"start":1,"ids":["09af55b85cac9974b691abf0f621dec0"]}}

Installation

Requires Node.js & npm

npm install -g mangogrep

Usage

  • --selector/-s - the Mango Selector to apply to the incoming data e.g. {"latitude":{"$gt":54.5}}
  • --where/-w - the SQL 'where' clause to apply to the incoming data e.g. latitude > 54.5
  • --debug/-d - output the selector to stderr
  • --help - output help

If neither selector or where are supplied, then all incoming data makes it to the output, one object per line.

Example usage

JSONL files

JSONL files contain one JSON object per line of output. The couchsnap utiltity creates such files, so mangogrep is good for finding slices of data from a single backup snapshot:

# find a single document id from a single file
cat mydb-snapshot-2022-11-09T16:04:51.041Z.jsonl | mangogrep --where "_id='0021MQOXCM3HNHAF'"

or all of your backup snapshots:

# see the history of single document id from multiple snapshot files
cat mydb-snapshot* | mangogrep --where "_id='0021MQOXCM3HNHAF'"

The query can be complex, with lots of ANDs and ORs:

# find documents with a combination of SQL-like AND/OR clauses
cat mydb-snapshot* | mangogrep --where "(active=true OR email_verified=true) AND email='[email protected]'"

Or you can use Mango selectors, which unlocks per-field regular expressions:

# use a regular expression on the email field to find all documents with hotmail email fields
cat mydb-snapshot* | mangogrep --selector '{"email":{"$regex":"@hotmail"}}'

Couchbackup files

@cloudant/couchbackup stores its backup data in text files containing an array of documents per line, but mangogrep will handle this as if they were JSONL files.

# backup your data
couchbackup --db users > users.txt

# query the backup data set, piping the output to a file
cat users.txt | mangogrep --where "joined>'2022-01-01'" > 2022_users.jsonl

Aggregation

You may combine mangogrep with other command-line tools for aggregating answers:

# count users who joined this year and are active
cat users.txt | mangogrep --where "joined>'2022-01-01' AND active=true" | wc -l
