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 🙏

`git diff` wrapper for semantic JavaScript/JSON diffs

Readme

prettier-diff

prettier-diff is a git diff wrapper that preprocesses JavaScript and JSON files to reduce the number of formatting changes that appear in the diff. This allows you to focus on the semantic changes, which is useful when viewing diffs that also have formatting changes.

JavaScript is preprocessed with prettier, and JSON is preprocessed with json-stable-stringify and json-align.

Installation

You can use yarn or npm to install prettier-diff:

yarn global add prettier-diff
# or
npm install --global prettier-diff

Usage

One-off usage

In any git repository, just use prettier-diff instead of git diff:

# instead of
git diff head^^
# do this
prettier-diff head^^

Behind the scenes, prettier-diff temporarily modifies the .git/config and .git/info/attributes files to set up the preprocessing by defining a textconv for all files.

git diff integration

To always use prettier-diff as part of git diff in a given repository, you can run the following:

git config diff.prettier.textconv textconv-prettier

echo '*.js diff=prettier' >> .gitattributes
echo '*.json diff=prettier' >> .gitattributes

Now, git diff will automatically run prettier-diff on your JS/JSON files, and it plays well with the other git diff options like --ignore-all-space, as well as diff-so-fancy. See here for more information: textconv

Examples

For example, this repository contains a large commit that rewrote most of its code with prettier-standard, and also renames a variable. You can see the commit on GitHub here: 8cc0119

With prettier-diff, only the renaming is shown:

prettier-diff 8cc0119^ 8cc0119 --color | diff-so-fancy
