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

silver-fleece

Forked from golden-fleece but adjusted and simplified to parse normal JSON with comments. This makes it a bit faster, and the output will always be parsable by standard JSON parsers (comments are only added if you add them).

Why?

Patching files like package.json or tsconfig.json.

Usage

Install it with npm install silver-fleece and import it into your app:

import * as fleece from 'silver-fleece';

fleece.parse(str, [options])

const ast = fleece.parse(`true`);
// { start: 0, end: 4, type: 'Literal', raw: 'true', value: true }

The returned AST is ESTree compliant.

You can optionally pass callbacks that are fired whenever a value or comment is encountered:

const ast = fleece.parse(str, {
	onComment: comment => {
		console.log('got a comment', comment);
	},
	onValue: value => {
		console.log('got a value', value);
	}
});

fleece.evaluate(str)

const { answer } = fleece.evaluate(`{ "answer": 42 }`);
answer === 42; // true

fleece.patch(str, value)

This is where it gets fun:

const str = `
	"number": 1,
	"string": "yes",
	"object": { "nested": true },
	"array": ["this", "that", "the other"]
`;

const object = fleece.evaluate(str);
object.number = 42;
object.array[2] = 'EVERYTHING';

fleece.patch(str, object) === `{
	"number": 42,
	"string": "yes",
	"object": { "nested": true },
	"array": ["this", "that", "EVERYTHING"]
}`; // true

Notice that the formatting has been preserved.

fleece.stringify(value, [options])

const object = {
	string: 'hello',
	'quoted-property': 2,
	array: [3, 4]
};

fleece.stringify(object) === `{
	"string": "hello",
	"quoted-property": 2,
	"array": [
		3,
		4
	]
}`; // true

To indent with spaces instead of tabs, pass spaces: n, where n is the number of spaces at each level of indentation.

fleece.stringify(object, {
	spaces: 2
}) === `{
  "string": "hello",
  "quoted-property": 2,
  "array": [
    3,
    4
  ]
}`; // true
