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

tape-watcher

Inspired by tape-watch, since that was the fastest solution I could find to run tape tests in watch mode, but I got annoyed by the memory leak warnings it was throwing and also thought I could make the experience a bit more fun.

example

Features

  • Runs tape tests after modifications, while keeping the require cache for node_module files, saving on startup time
  • Only reports details for failing tests
  • Prints a meaningful stack trace for runtime exceptions
  • A watchdog lets you know if you forgot about t.end(), the process doesn't just hangs up waiting for it
  • Provides an interactive terminal that lets you set how you want to see your result during runtime

Usage

From command line if installed globally:

tape-watcher 'src/**.spec.js'

Or install locally as a dev dependency and add it to package json scripts:

"tdd": "tape-watcher src/**.spec.js"

Commands during run:

Type in the letters while the watch mode is active and press enter. A new run will be triggered with the changed option taking effect.

  • d: toggle showing actual and expected or their colored diff
  • i: toggle printing values with or without and indentation
  • 1 to 9: set objectPrintDepth for printing
  • r: manually trigger the re-run of all the tests (not needed if watch is working well)
  • q: quit, exit process (same as hitting ctrl + c)

Install

npm i tape-watcher --save-dev
