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

nano-argv

A small module to do simple argument parsing.

This package on:

Usage

When you do this on the command line...:

$ node myscript.js --arg1 value1 --bool1 --arg2 value2 --BOOL2

Then you can do this in myscript.js...:

var args = require('nano-argv');
var CLI_ARGS = args({
	arg2: 'willBeOverridden',
	arg3: 'aDefaultValue',
	bool3: true
});

console.log(CLI_ARGS);

/*
Will log:
{
	arg1: 'value1',
	arg2: 'value2',
	arg3: 'aDefaultValue',
	bool1: true,
	bool2: true,
	bool3: true
}
*/

That is...:

  • All --keys on the CLI will be lowercased when output in the arguments hash by the module.
  • Any pairing --key value will set the value of key key to value value in the hash returned from the function
  • Any --key1 --key2 value sequence, that is, where --key1 has another --key2 flag immediately to the right, will make --key1 a boolean argument flag set to true
  • Any --lastkey with no value to the right, and no other key (it is the last piece of the command) will also be treated as a boolean argument with the flag set to true
  • If you pass an object into the function in the JS, those will be used as the defaults for the output object of the function.
  • If you do not pass anything, defaults is simply set to {} and no keys will have defaults.
  • The defaults argument you use in the JS can only handle plain JSON objects, that is, no function values will work, prototype keys will not be inherited, and so on and so forth.
