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

node-simhash-mod

64 bits version now

warning, much slower

A simple command line tool for comparing text files using the simhash algorithm and contrasting with the jaccard index.

Almost pure fork of node-simhash, by Scott Horn:

  • Patches log4js issue by setting a forced version of log4js
  • Cleans French diacritics
  • getDistanceReport helper function

References

Installation

If you have just clone this like then run the following

npm install
npm link

Command line tool usage

Using node

simhash file1.txt file2.txt

simhash https://file.com/page1.html https://file.com/page2.html

Using lib

var simhash = require('node-simhash-mod');

simhash.compare(string1, string2);

Methods

.summary(file1, file2)

Compare two text strings using both simhash and jaccard index and print a summary

.compare(file1, file2)

Compare two text strings using both simhash and jaccard index

.hammingWeight(number)

Count the binary ones in a number.

.shingles(string, words_per_single=2)

Convert string to set of shingles using the default of 2 words per shingle and tokenize using the natural libraries default tokenizer.

.jaccardIndex(string1, string2)

Compare two strings by tokeniseing and then compare the intersection of shingles to the union of shingles.

.createBinaryString(number)

Print a 32-bit number as a binary string of 32 characters

.shingleHashList(set)

Convert a set of shingles to a set of crc-32 hashes.

Distance report

Often you have a list of strings, and what to check how close they are each from other.

getDistanceReport will produce a JSON report containing, for each text, the closest ones.

Parameters are the following:

  • an array of textual objects; each object must have a text property containing its string, and a simhash property with the hash already calculated; feel free to put other properties typically an ID
  • the maximal acceptable similarity: if the similarity between two strings is greater than this threshold, then it will be added in the list of the closest ones; use 0.8 for instance to only trigger when texts are 80% different or less
  • the maximum number of closest strings to be given in the output (only the most close ones will be given)

The output is an array of objects:

  • for: reference to the textual object
  • closestOnes: an array with the closes elements; each object points to an element (with property) and gives the distance (difference property)
