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 🙏

Ménneu

Component-based extensible document processor

✒️Render the { markdown | lsx | html } document templates into a ✨beautiful✨ { pdf | html | image }📑📊📈📰📄 formats.

Ménneu

npm GitHub release .github/workflows/test.yml GitHub forks GitHub stars

You can easily build the complex documents written in Markdown, HTML and LSX that including images, charts, UML diagrams, barcodes and 2d codes (QR Code).
And get the output as a PDF, PNG and JPEG rendered by Puppeteer, or the HTML that packed into the single file.

Furthermore, you can insert the data from the file into the document with the control statements.


Examples

Real world examples


Getting started

Use CLI:

install via NPM:

$ npm install -g menneu

and run Ménneu:

$ menneu README.md --raw -o README.pdf

Add shortcuts to Windows file explorer right-click 'Send to' menu

Prerequirements
$ npm install -g menneu
Install

Download the source archive from https://github.com/shellyln/menneu/archive/master.zip and extract it.

> cd menneu\shell-ext\windows
> make-sendto-shortcuts.cmd

Use APIs:

install via NPM:

$ npm install menneu --save

and import Ménneu in your code:

// index.mjs
import './extension'; // * To import without using webpack,
                      //   use node with the
                      //   `--experimental-modules --no-warnings` options.
                      // * If `node>=12`, `--es-module-specifier-resolution=node`
                      //   option is additionally required.
import { render } from 'menneu/modules';
import fs from 'fs';
import util from 'util';
const writeFileAsync = util.promisify(fs.writeFile);

(async () => {
    try {
        const buf = await render('# Hello!', {}, {
            rawInput: true,
            inputFormat: 'md',
            dataFormat: 'object',
            outputFormat: 'pdf',
        });
        await writeFileAsync('./hello.pdf', buf);
    } catch (e) {
        console.log(e);
    }
})();
// extension.js
const fs = require('fs');

require.extensions['.css'] = function (module, filename) {
    module.exports = fs.readFileSync(filename, 'utf8');
};

NOTE: To build it, you should use webpack + raw-loader (or other packagers and/or plugins) to load CSS as string.

You can also import from the .mjs file on a node with the --experimental-modules --no-warnings options enabled,
and import menneu/modules/* paths.

If you run it on node>=12, --es-module-specifier-resolution=node option is additionally required.

See these (1) (2) examples.

NOTICE:
Use with webpack >= 5

If you get the error:

Module not found: Error: Can't resolve '(importing/path/to/filename)'
in '(path/to/node_modules/path/to/dirname)'
Did you mean '(filename).js'?`

Add following setting to your webpack.config.js.

{
    test: /\.m?js/,
    resolve: {
        fullySpecified: false,
    },
},

On webpack >= 5, the extension in the request is mandatory for it to be fully specified if the origin is a '.mjs' file or a '.js' file where the package.json contains '"type": "module"'.

Use APIs on the browsers:

Install via NPM, or download UMD from release page.

If you wish to use UMD single file on browser, Please write as below:

  • index.html
    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <head><meta charset="UTF-8">
    <script src="./menneu.min.js"></script><script>
    (async() => {
        try {
            const buf = await menneu.render('# Hello!', {}, {
                rawInput: true,
                inputFormat: 'md',
                dataFormat: 'object',
                outputFormat: 'html',
            });
            console.log((new TextDecoder).decode(buf));
        } catch (e) {
            console.log(e);
        }
    })();
    </script></head>

If you wish to use UMD single file on Node.js w/o installing react, Please write as below:

  • menneu-umd-bootstrap.js
    // Usage: echo "# Hello" | node ./menneu-umd-bootstrap.js - -of html
    
    const Module = require('module');
    const loader = Module._load;
    Module._load = (request, parent) => {
        if (request === 'react' || request === 'react-dom' || request === 'react-dom/server') {
            return ({});
        }
        return loader(request, parent);
    };
    
    const menneu = require('./menneu.min.js');
    menneu.run();

Features

Render markdown into HTML and PDF.

Markdown is parsed into HTML by markdown-it and converting from HTML into PDF by puppeteer .

Following markdown-it plugins are available by default:

You can append other plugins by configureing the menneu.config.js .

HTML source files are also available.

Render LSX template into HTML and PDF.

See Liyad for more informations about Lisp and LSX syntax and operators.

Lisp block expansion

In the markdown or HTML documents, you can start Lisp block. The block starts with %%%( and ends with pair parenthesis ) .

  • You should escape following characters in the document:
    • \ -> \\
    • """ -> \"\"\"
    • %%% -> \%\%\%

Conditional branch

%%%($last                           ;; "$last" is a function that evaluate parameters, and returns last parameter.
    ($set ($data isMorning) false)
    ($set ($data name) "World")
    nil                             ;; "nil" is zero length array. it will replace to zero length string by document processor.
)

%%%($=if ($get $data isMorning)
"""Markdown
## Good morning, %%%($get $data name)!
""")

%%%($=if ($not ($get $data isMorning))
"""Markdown
## Hello, %%%($get $data name)!
""")

is equivalent to

## Hello, World!

Repeating

# Greeting

%%%($=for ($list "World" "Jane" "Joe")
"""Markdown
## Hello, %%%($get $data)!
""")

Good morning!

is equivalent to

# Greeting

## Hello, World!
## Hello, Jane!
## Hello, Joe!

Good morning!

Variables

  • The data file is parsed and set to $data variable.

Data file:

{
    "foo": 1,
    "bar": "World"
}

Document template:

## Hello, %%%($get $data bar)!

Result:

<h2>Hello, World!</h2>
  • To define the variable, use $let function in the Lisp block.

Document template:

%%%($let a "A")
%%%($get a)

Result:

<p>A</p>
  • To set the value to the variable, use $set function in the Lisp block.

Document template:

%%%($let a "A")
%%%($set a "B")
%%%($get a)

Result:

<p>B</p>
  • To set the value to the object property or array index, you can also use $set function.

Document template:

%%%($let a (#    ;; "#" is object literal function.
    (foo 1)
    (bar ($list "World" "Jane" "Joe")) ))

%%%($set (a bar 1) "John")
%%%($get a bar 1)

Result:

<p>John</p>

Functions

Document template:

%%%($last
    ($defun fac (n)
        ($if (== n 0)
            1
            (* n ($self (- n 1))) ) )
    nil)

Factorial of 3 is %%%(fac 3).

Result:

<p>Factorial of 3 is 6.</p>

LSX DOM elements

You can markup standard HTML and SVG tags witten in LSX notation.

Document template:

%%%(style (@ (dangerouslySetInnerHTML ".content { font-style: italic; color: red; }")))

Result:

<style>.content { font-style: italic; color: red; }</style>

Components

You also can markup with RedAgate tag-lib components.

Document template:

%%%(Greeting (@ (to "Menneu")) "Good morning!")
%%%(Svg (@ (width  100)
           (height 100)
           (unit "mm") )
