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

nick

The smallest templating engine ever.

nick is a no-nonsense string templating engine written in 10 lines (plus 8 lines of optimization).

A browser build is available here. It is available globally as Nick.

Installation

$ npm i nick

Usage

API

nick(templateString, [delimiterRegex])

Basic

Anything inside a pair of delimiters will be a simple object access.

var nick = require('nick');

// Create a reusable template function
var resume = nick('My name is { name }, and I am a { job } working at { company }. I have { years } years of experience in the field of { field }.');

var me = resume({
	name: 'Haskell Curry',
	job: 'logician',
	company: 'λ Combinator',
	years: 100,
	field: 'combinatory logic'
});

// My name is Haskell Curry, and I am a logician working at λ Combinator. I have 100 years of experience in the field of combinatory logic.

Custom Delimiters

nick also takes a regular expression as an optional second argument, which defines what delimiter is used for the template.

var thing = nick('I like to do {{{{{adjective}}}}} things.', /[\{\}]{5}/);

var result = thing({ adjective: 'random' });

// I like to do random things.

Benchmarks

The benchmarks were written with templates in the recommended style of their respective engines, profiling the performance of the example provided in Basic.
