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 🙏

Readme

Pretty Inquirer

This package is on top of inquirer and makes it easy to use inquirer.

Installation

$ npm i pretty-inquirer
// or
$ yarn add pretty-inquirer

Usage

Please read docs of inquirer before reading this section. Every options specified is defined inside inquirer documentations.

const { createQuestions, opts } = require('pretty-inquirer');

const props = createQuestions({
  name: opts.message('What is the name?').type('input').default('Maryam'),
  skills: opts.message('What is your skills?').type('list').choices(['js', 'html', 'css']).default(0),
  single: opts.message('Are you single?').type('confirm').default(true),
});

(async()=>{
  if(await props.single) {
    console.log(`${await props.name}, will you marry me?`);
  }else{
    console.log(`We can work together using ${await props.skills}.`);
  }
})()

Pretty inquirer gets user input as you use the props. For example, if the user answers Are you single? with yes, we only get his/her name after that and will never ask about his/her skills. Otherwise, we ask about his/her skills and never ask about his/her name.

If you use a prop multiple times, the question will be asked only once and will be cached. In the example below, name will be asked only once:

const { createQuestions, opts } = require('pretty-inquirer');

const props = createQuestions({
  name: opts.message('What is the name?').type('input').default('Maryam'),
});

(async()=>{
  if(await props.name === 'Maryam') {
    console.log(`Hello ${await props.name}, how are you?`);
  }else{
    console.log(`${await props.name} I don't know you.`);
  }
})()

If you want to ask name every time you can use askAnswered option:

const { createQuestions, opts } = require('pretty-inquirer');

const props = createQuestions({
  name: opts.message('What is the name?').type('input').default('Maryam').askAnswered(true),
});

(async()=>{
  if(await props.name === 'Maryam') {
    console.log(`Hello ${await props.name}, how are you?`);
  }else{
    console.log(`${await props.name} I don't know you.`);
  }
})()

Which force pretty-inquirer to ask the same question every time.
