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

md5ify

Synchronously return the md5 hex hash of a file path through either Node or browserify.

Useful, for example, for keeping unique IDs of particular files based on their contents in order to cache external resources better.

Usage

NPM

md5ify(filename)

Returns a hash of the file's contents at filename.

const md5ify = require('md5ify')
const hash   = md5ify(__filename)

console.log(hash)

md5ify with browserify

The above works in Node, but you can easily make it work in browserify too by adding it as a transform. This works similarly to brfs and determines the file's hash at build time. Simply include it in your list of browserify.transforms in your project's package.json file:

{
  "name": "my-package",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "browserify": {
    "transforms": [
      "md5ify/transform"
    ]
  }
}

Alternatively, you may specify the transform through browserify's command-line interface using the -t flag:

browserify index.js -t md5ify/transform

Or through browserify's Node API using the .transform method:

const browserify = require('browserify')
const bundler    = browserify('./index.js')

bundler.transform('md5ify/transform')
bundler.bundle(function(err, bundle) {
  if (err) throw err
  console.log(String(bundle))
})
