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 🙏

  1. We're going to initialise the repository - yarn init -y
  2. Next we're gonna add TypeScript and node types - yarn add -D typescript @types/node
  3. I've taken the liberty of adding some files already - tsconfig with some basic defaults, and a src folder with a getPizzaRecipe function inside utils and some interfaces associated with our function.
  4. Now, we could just run tsc and then publish our lib folder, but there's a couple of things wrong with this:
    • first of all it outputs multiple files and folders - in this case we can see that there's a JS file generated for the types file, which aren't needed. We have to remember that tsc isn't a bundler, just a transpiler.
    • If the consumer wanted to consume the Pizza type, and it wasn't exported from the index.ts they would have import from the dist or extract the type from the function, which looks ugly & isn't best practice. Furthermore, often IDEs get confused and import the type from the dist folder, which is not what we want.
    • We wouldn't be able to exclude types SecretBaseIngredients.types.ts from the consumer
    • You don't get some of the goodness of a compiler like ESBuild like tree shaking, minification and traspeed

To solve some of these issues, I'm going to use a bundler. In this case rollup. It's been the industry standard bundler for a while, and supports a lot of new tooling..including esbuild, which will be my choice of transpiler. Finally, we're also going to add rollup-plugin-dts which allows us to bundle the types we want to expose to the consumer.

  1. So, let's add these dependencies - yarn add -D rollup rollup-plugin-esbuild esbuild rollup-plugin-dts
  2. And then create a rollup config file touch rollup.config.ts

ES Modules has been generally available since Node 14's release in 2020, so there's no reason why we shouldn't be an ESM-first package, but also publish CJS version of our package for compatibility. To do this we need to make some changes to our package.json

  1. Lets change the package type to "type": "module"
  2. Replace the "main" key value pair with "source": "src/index.ts"
  3. Add a "types" key with "types": "dist/index.d.ts"
  4. Add a "files" key with "files": ["dist"]
  5. Add an exports key with
    "exports": {
     "./package.json": "./package.json",
     ".": {
       "require": "./dist/index.js",
       "import": "./dist/index.mjs",
       "types": "./dist/index.d.ts"
     }

},

The "exports" field allows us to restrict external access to non-exported module files.

4. Next we're going to add our rollup config. Here's something I prepared earlier:
 
```js
import esbuild from "rollup-plugin-esbuild";
import { createRequire } from "module";
import dts from "rollup-plugin-dts";

const require = createRequire(import.meta.url);
const pkgjson = require("./package.json");

/**
* @type {import('rollup').RollupOptions[]}
*/
const config = [
{
  plugins: [esbuild()],
  input: pkgjson.source,
  output: [
    {
      format: "es",
      file: pkgjson.exports["."].import,
    },
    {
      format: "cjs",
      file: pkgjson.exports["."].require,
    },
  ],
},

{
  plugins: [dts()],
  input: pkgjson.source,
  output: [
    {
      file: pkgjson.types,
      format: "es",
    },
  ],
},
];

export default config
  1. Finally, we're going to add a build script: "build": "rollup -c" and run yarn build And here's the output a dist folder with 3 files index.d.ts, index.js and index.mjs, ready to ship. Much better than our lib folder.
