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

recompile

"recompile" is an auto-recompiler for command-line node scripts.

For example, if you're writing a CLI tool in coffee-script, it may be convenient for it to recompile and restart itself if the source code changes. You can do this by starting your script with:

recompile = require "recompile"

recompile.check "./src", "./lib", ->
  # your actual code here

The check function is:

check(sourceFolder, targetFolder, [options], callback)

It deep-compares the two folders, using a transform function to build target filenames from source filenames, and if any file in the target folder is newer than its corresponding file in the source folder, it executes a recompile command (using child_process.spawn) and then re-spawns node with its original command-line arguments, to try again. If the target folder is up-to-date, it simply calls your callback.

Note that the callback is only called once recompile is sure that the target folder is up-to-date. If it's not, the callback will never be called inside the current process -- only the spawned one.

Valid options are:

  • quiet (default: false) -- if true, don't emit anything to the console when recompiling

  • command (default: [ "./node_modules/.bin/coffee", "-o", targetFolder, "-c", sourceFolder ]) -- command to execute to recompile, as an array

  • transform (default: (filename) -> filename.replace(/.coffee$/, ".js")) -- transform function to convert source filenames to target filenames
