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 🙏

OS locale detector (os-locale-s)

Language grade: JavaScript Node.js CI GitHub

Its a light weight version that minimizes the dependency module of os-locale

Get the system locale

Useful for localizing your module or app.

POSIX systems: The returned locale refers to the LC_MESSAGE category, suitable for selecting the language used in the user interface for message translation.

Motivacion

I was creating a module package and needed to detect the locale.

At that time, I found a module os-locale that provides the corresponding function in the npm package.

I just wanted to detect locale token such as "cs", "de", "es", "fr" etc but
os-locale installs as many as 27 npm packages, including indirectly dependent modules

  • e.g - yarn add os-locale

I just wanted to detect a simple locale token but thought this was overwork and decided to rewrite the code.

At the same time, has been migrate to TypeScript as well.

As a result, the number of npm packages installed in os-locale-s has been reduced to 3 including os-locale-s

Install

$ npm install os-locale-s

Usage

// node (commenjs)
const { osLocale } = require("os-locale-s");
(async () => {
    console.log(await osLocale());
    //=> 'en-US'
})();
// ECMA module
import { osLocale } from "os-locale-s";
(async () => {
    console.log(await osLocale());
    //=> 'en-US'
})();

API

osLocale(options?)

Returns a Promise for the locale.

osLocale.sync(options?)

Returns the locale.

options

Type: object

spawn

Type: boolean
Default: true

Set to false to avoid spawning subprocesses and instead only resolve the locale from environment variables. (process.env)

cache

Type: boolean
Default: true

Once the locale is detected, its value is retained and reused at the second and subsequent detections.

If set to false, the last held value will be ignored and do locale detection again (and the resulting value is not preserved)
