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 🙏

Swap node_modules between Windows and LXSS

Downloads

Readme

Share your project between Windows and Bash on Windows (also known as Ubuntu on Windows or LXSS) and swap between different node_module directories.

If you have a

Installation

$ npm install -g nswap

This will give you a global nswap command that you can use in any project directory.

You'll probably want to add node_modules-win and node_modules-lxss to your .gitignore (either local or global).

USAGE

--info

print out info about current project directory

$ nswap --info
"node_modules" is a directory - run "nswap --init"
$ nswap --info
"node_modules" is linked to "node_modules-win"
$ nswap --info
"node_modules" is probably linked to "node_modules-lxss"
$ nswap --info
"node_modules" doesn't exist

--init

rename existing node_modules to platform-specific directory (renames to node_modules-win or node_modules-lxss)

Run this command in a project directory before running --link

$ nswap --init
moving "node_modules" to "node_modules-win"

--link

link the platform-appropriate directory as node_modules

In Windows:

$ nswap --link
activating win32

In LXSS:

$ nswap --link
activating *nix

NOTE: This needs to be run from within the environment that needs the link.

e.g. Windows will only link the node_modules-win and *nix will only link node_modules-lxss. Because of the way the filesystem works Windows cannot link node_modules-lxss -> node_modules

--unlink

remove the node_modules link (either Windows junction or *nix symlink).

$ nswap --unlink
unlinked "node_modules"

It won't delete your real node_modules directory:

$ nswap --unlink
"node_modules" already exists as a real directory. Move or delete this to continue.

If there is no output then the link didn't exist and nothing was done.

Cleanup
