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

replace_all_strings_in_directory_promise

Iterate all files in a directory async Replace all occurrences of a string with another string. Does not iterate sub_folders

NO BACKUP IS TAKEN OF YOUR FILES. THIS WILL OVERWRITE ALL EXISTING FILES IN THE SUPPLIED DIRECTORY.

NOTE "./test_folder/" in example below

How it works

It reads the directory with filestream and returns array of filenames for each filename a promise made inside a promise_all function is generated. The replacements all happen in a promise loop, this should prevent callstack errors. Once it is done it returns ana array of all modified directory+file. No report of replacements is given. But it would be easy to modify it to do so.

How to use

let replace_strings_in_dir = require("replace-strings-in-dir")
replace_strings_in_dir(
    "./test_folder/", //dont forget to make it end with '/'
    "words_to_rep",//string that you wish to replace in all the files
    "repped_words",//string that you wish to replace the previous string with
    "utf-8"//encoding i have not tested with others
).then((responses)=>{
    //returns an array of dir+filename that were saved
    console.log(responses)
}).catch((err)=>{
    //what to do if something goes wrong
    console.log(err)
})
