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 🙏

Add File

Description

Adds a file and corresponding testing file to the current working directory. Will create a __tests__/ directory if not already present.

In addition, users have the option to designate specific directories for the created file and test file. If the directories do not exist they will be created. Uses also have the option of setting a flag that prevents the creation of test files. Test files will have the format of filename.test.filetype.

Installation

Run the following command from your terminal.

$ npm i -g simplemkfile

However it is preferred to run the command using npx For example the following will work without a global install:

$ npx simplemkfile test js

Using npx will ensure that you are always using the latest version of the CLI tool.

How To Use

From your terminal run the command simplemkfile with the name of the file you wish to create. Defaults to creating a .js file.

Flags

-n or --name flag is used to designate the name of the file you want to create

-t or --type flag designates the file extension (js by default)

-tf or --testfile flag enables or disables creation of the test file and directory (true by default). Can also be designated by passing as the third, unflagged argument.

-td or --tfdir to designate the directory the test file will be created in. Defaults to ./__tests__

-d or --dir to designate the directory the test file will be created in. Defaults to current working directory.

As a shortcut, you can pass [name] [type] [testfile] as the first arguments without flags.

The CLI tool will create a file with the name you give it (along with some boilerplate code) as well as a test (jest) file that imports your file.

Examples:

Create a typescript file and corresponding test file:

$ simplemkfile testfile ts

Create typescript file and corresponding test file using flags:

$ simplemkfile --name testfile --type ts

Create a javascript file in a designated directory with a test file with a designatd directory:

$ simplemkfile myfile ts --dir ./src --tfdir ./tests
