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

mdi-cli

Generate material design icons from the command line.

All icons are based on the @mdi/svg package, which is what materialdesignicons.com uses.

Installation

mdi-cli can be installed using npm by running:

$ npm install -g mdi-cli

Usage

Installing this package globally will give you the mdi command. The GIF below shows how to use it interactively:

Usage Example

You may also use mdi non-interactively, by providing flags and arguments when you run it:

$ mdi --help

  Generate material design icons from the command line

  Usage:
    $ mdi [options] <icon-name>, <icon-name>, ...

  Options:
    --size, -s         Set the icon size. Defaults to 24px.
    --padding, -p      Set the icon padding. Defaults to 0px.
    --radius, -r       Set the icon border radius. Defaults to 0px.
    --foreground, -f   Set the icon foreground color. Defaults to #333.
    --background, -b   Set the icon background color. Defaults to transparent.
    --output, -o       Write icons to this directory. Defaults to the current directory.

  Examples:
    $ mdi -s 32 -p 4 -r 5 -f yellow -b black google youtube twitter

Why did I build this?

materialdesignicons.com is cool, I like using it because

  1. I can see what the actual icons look like
  2. I can easily resize and set padding of the icon and see the results

However, I usually get several icons with the same styles at the same time, and doing so always takes so much time.

This tool allows:

  1. Generating multiple icons with the same style
  2. Generating icons even when you're offline

However, this also comes with its own limitations:

  1. No icon preview while generating, so you kinda have to know the names of the icons that you need
