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 🙏

Create your new project from a NPM, GitHub or local template with a single command.

Installation

npm install -g ncreate

Usage

NPM template

ncreate vue@latest my-vue-app

# npm create vue@latest my-vue-app

The agent of ncreate is configurable, you can use npm, yarn, pnpm or bun as the agent.

GitHub template

ncreate Lu-Jiejie/ts-starter my-ts-app

# git clone https://github.com/Lu-Jiejie/ts-starter my-ts-app
# cd my-ts-app
# rimraf .git

The way to create a project from a GitHub template refers to degit.

It means that you can ncreate a GitHub template with a spcific branch, tag or commit hash. Like:

ncreate Lu-Jiejie/ts-starter#main my-ts-app

ncreate Lu-Jiejie/ts-starter#9d73fe3 my-ts-app

All the GitHub templates will be cached in ~/.ncreate/github by default, for the sake of speed.

Local template

ncreate ts-starter my-ts-app

The local templates are configured in ~/.ncreate/config.json. See Configuration.

Interactive prompt

ncreate

If you don't provide the template name, ncreate will prompt you to choose a template from history or local templates.

All the given choices will be sorted by the last used time.

The history will be saved in ~/.ncreate/history.json.

Configuration

You can configure some options in ~/.ncreate/config.json.

{
  // The default agent of ncreate. Null means choosing the agent by interactive prompt.
  "agent": "pnpm",
  // The local templates.
  "localTemplates": [
    {
      // The name of the template.
      "name": "ts-starter",
      // The local path to the local template.
      "path": "PATH_TO_YOUR_LOCAL_TEMPLATE"
    }
  ]
}
