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

show-deps

A command-line utility for showing dependencies from a Node.js project's package.json in a fashionable way.

node npm Travis Gemnasium Coveralls

Installation

We require Node.js, which comes bundled with npm:

⇒ npm install --global show-deps

Note: You may require some sudo powers to install globally. So try use sudo npm install --global show-deps if necessary.

Basic Usage

I want to see all the dependencies stated in my current directory

⇒  show-deps

┌────────────┬─────────┐
│ Dependency │ Version │
├────────────┼─────────┤
│ cli-table  │ ^0.3.1  │
├────────────┼─────────┤
│ commander  │ ^2.5.0  │
├────────────┼─────────┤
│ debug      │ ^2.1.0  │
└────────────┴─────────┘

┌────────────────┬─────────┐
│ Dev-Dependency │ Version │
├────────────────┼─────────┤
│ mocha          │ ^2.0.1  │
├────────────────┼─────────┤
│ should         │ ^4.4.1  │
└────────────────┴─────────┘

I want to see the dependencies for the project in that directory

⇒  show-deps --input ../github/node-sequential-ids/
> No Dependencies

┌────────────────┬─────────┐
│ Dev-Dependency │ Version │
├────────────────┼─────────┤
│ mocha          │ 1.21.4  │
└────────────────┴─────────┘

I want to see the dependencies stated in that package.json

⇒  show-deps --input ../github/node-simple-argparse/package.json
> No Dependencies

┌────────────────┬─────────┐
│ Dev-Dependency │ Version │
├────────────────┼─────────┤
│ mocha          │ 1.21.5  │
├────────────────┼─────────┤
│ should         │ 4.0.4   │
└────────────────┴─────────┘

Tables

The previous examples have shown some Guy typing all over the shell.... BAZINGA! A table appeared! Those are CLI-tables. It is possible to produce the table in other formats.

⇒ show-deps --tables

You will get to see all the available table formats. If I wanted to generate a Markdown table and save it to a Dependencies.md file, I would:

⇒ show-deps --table md --output Dependencies.md

Help Information

⇒  show-deps -h

  Usage: show-deps [options]

  Options:

    -h, --help               output usage information
    -V, --version            output the version number
    -i, --input [file]       which JSON File to read from
    -o, --output [file]      where to write to
    -t, --table [shorthand]  which kind of table
    -a, --tables             what kind of tables are there
    -v, --verbose            do print output
    -d, --debug              show debug information

TODO

  • [ ] add comprehensive tests for table formats and integrations
  • [ ] add more table formats
  • [ ] feel good about it!
