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 🙏

NPX Shortcut Creator

A package you can use to easily create NPX shortcuts

Documentation

const shortcuts = require('npx-shortcut-creator');

Configure Options (optional)

shortcuts.configureOptions({
  type: "bin" || "script", // set the type of your shortcut
  command: "node {-url}", // the command ran in the terminal => only required if type is script
}).then(({ options }) => {
  console.log(options);
});

Get Options

shortcuts.getOptions().then(({ options }) => {
  console.log(options);
});

Create shortcut

shortcuts.createShortcut("myShortcut", (firstArgument, secondArgument) => {
  console.log("This are the arguments: " + firstArgument + secondArgument);
}, [
  `"My first argument"`,
  `"My second argument"`
] /* IMPORTANT: dont forget to put quotation marks for strings */).then(({ name, arguments }) => {
  console.log("Created a shortcut called " + name + "with the following arguments: " + arguments.join(", "));
});

Delete shortcut

shortcuts.deleteShortcut("myShortcut").then(({ name }) => {
  console.log("Deleted command called " + name);
});

Get shortcuts

shortcuts.getShortcuts().then(({ shortcuts }) => {
  console.log(shortcuts);
});

Execute command

shortcuts.executeShortcut("myShortcut", ["My first argument", "My second argument"]).then(({ err, data: { stdout, stderr } }) => {
  if (err) return console.log(err); // err => execution failed
  console.log(stdout, stderr); // (stdout => successful output) || (stderr => failed output)
});

Install bin commands

shortcuts.installBin().then(() => {
  console.log("Installed all bin commands");
}); // basically runs "npm install -g"

Terminal

Install new commands

npm install -g

Execute command

Bin
npx <command>
Script
npm run <command>

Errors

File already exists

Try to remove all already installed commands and use the command then. After that you can add all removed commands back to the package file.
