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

StringLike

A string-like object to work more easily with strings in templates. Inherits everything from string.js, and sprinkles some other methods on top:

npm install stringlike
var StringLike = require('stringlike');
var a = new StringLike('a string')
//or
var b = StringLike('a string') //you can skip the 'new'

Methods

lineBreaksToHTML()

converts single line returns to s and more line returns to paragraphs

	var text = 'This is an example text, and here is a line break \n'
		+ 'that should convert to a BR. Now, if I use two line breaks \n\n\n'
		+ 'this text should be wrapped in P\'s\n\n';
	var converted_text = '<p>This is an example text, and here is a line break <br>'
		+ 'that should convert to a BR. Now, if I use two line breaks </p><p>'
		+ 'this text should be wrapped in P\'s</p>';
	var str = new StringLike(text)
	console.log(str.linebreaksToHTML().s == converted_text);

safe([prefix])

converts strings to class names that are safe to use in html elements if "prefix" is passed, it will be pre-pended to the string

Functions

StringLike.convert(object,[limit],[recurse])

converts all strings inside an object to instances of StringLike. Useful to convert a full "locals" object that you want to pass to your templates The function does not handle cyclic references unless you pass an array to 'recurse'

  • "limit" defaults to 10 nested objects, set it to -1 for infinite.
  • "recurse" if an array is passed (or true), the function will handle recursion
	var obj = {
		someProp:{
		someInsideProp:'a string'
		}
	,	someOtherProp:'a'
	}
	StringLike.convert(obj);
	console.log(
		(obj.someProp.someInsideProp.s === 'a string')
		&& (obj.someOtherProp.repeat(3).s === 'aaa')
	)
