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 🙏

RunGruntTask-agenda

Using agenda to execute a grunt task programmatically

NPM

Why this exists?

  • Grunt is a powerful tool for build/unbuild/configuring your application (Express.js etc).
  • Schedule a cron job to backup database using a grunt task every 24 hours etc. For this example, i have used a simple code validation grunt plugin to demonstrate but this can be used for any grunt task.

Installation

  • You would need to install mongoDB on your local system. Recommended using robomongo/compass for viewing collections.
  • npm install rgtagenda --save
  • npm i -g nodemon
  • cd node_modules/rgtagenda && npm i && nodemon app.js
  • Goto localhost:5000

Output

  • You should see a database "TestDB" in your database visualization tool such as robomongo/compass. You can change this in ./database.js

  • This code looks for Gruntfile.js by default. It would not work without it.

  • All agenda related config is in ./config.js

  • Should work on OSX/linux/Windows. If any issues, please report it here issues
