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 🙏

runfile

NPM version NPM download

🚧 A minimal alternative for GNU Makefile. You can use Shell commands, External tools in your OS directly and synchronously with Runfile.

Additionally it's brought with built-in ES2015 support through Babel.

preview

Install

npm install -g runfile --production

Example

An example Runfile

task('clean', () => {
  rm('-rf', 'testFolder')
  rm('-rf', 'testSource')
})

// or run external tools
task('deploy', () => {
  var message = argv._[1] || 'update'
  exec('git add -A')
  exec(`git commit -m "${message}"`)
  exec('git push origin master')
})

task('default', ['clean', 'deploy'])

// alia `run path` to external command `echo $PATH`
// to print your $PATH info in console
// a short-hand for one-line task
alias('path', 'echo $PATH')
// or a sequence of commands
alias('async', [
  'echo Hi',
  'sleep 1',
  'echo After 1s'
])

then in your favorite terminal:

run clean
run deploy

Run tasks synchronously

task('timeout', (callback) => {
  setTimeout(() => {
    console.log('timeout')
    callback()
  }, 3000)
})

task('log', ['timeout'], () => {
  console.log(argv)
})

task('default', ['log'])

// then `run`

Run non-block synchronous task

Besides exec() and built-in shell commands, async/await also allows you to write async code in sync way (looks like).

import fs from 'fs'

function readFile (name) {
  return new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
    fs.readFile(name, 'utf-8', function (err, data) {
      if (err) {
        reject(err)
      }
      resolve(data)
    })
  })
}

task('async', async () => {
  let data = await readFile('Runfile')
  console.log(data)
})

Trigger a task by hand

task('emit', () => {
  emit('deploy')
})

Running Node executable inside ./node_modules/.bin

// just a short-hand for `./node_modules/.bin/webpack`
task('webpack', () => {
  const webpack = npm('webpack --hot --inline')
  if (process.platform === 'win32') {
    exec(`set NODE_ENV=development && ${webpack}`)
  } else {
    exec('NODE_ENV=development ${webpack}')
  }
})

Run task from global Runfile

Sometimes you repeat some common operations so you will always need a Runfile stored globally to access from anywhere.

// find task `git` in `~\.runfile\Runfile`
run git -g
// alias
run :git
