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 🙏

templateking

Nested templates that use CSS selectors to populate dynamic data points.

(Intended for server-side use. For a similar client-side library see shave-template or curly-free-template.)

This module allows you to develop plain HTML/CSS templates with dummy data in the places dynamic data will be inserted. The benefit is that the templates can be developed independently from the program that dynamically inserts data into the web page.

It also provides for layering templates so you can have one template for the entire site that is used on every page, one template for each section that is used throughout it's own section, one template for each sub-section used on each page in it's particular sub-seciton, and one template for each page.

So, for an example, the page template can be wrapped in a sub-section template, those together can be wrapped in a section template, and those can be wrapped in a site template.

The number of nested layers is unlimited.

Once it compiles the templates you've listed, this module applies an object you've provided that identifies CSS selectors as key names paired with dynamic data values and replaces the default content of the elements in the templates that are identified by the corresponding CSS selectors.


simple example

// require the module and identify the directory that contains the template files
var templates = require('templateking')({directory: 'public'}) 

templates(

    // list the nested templates, starting with outer to inner
    ['simple.html', 'message.html'], 

    // provide an object of CSS selector keys with values to replace the default template text
    {
        'title':     'My New Title', 
        '#message':  'Hello templateking!', 
        '#datetime': Date()
    }, 

    // provide a writeable stream to pipe the resulting HTML text to
    process.stdout 
)

Given the templates:

simple.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>templateking</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div class="template">template</div>
  </body>
</html>

And message.html

    <h3 id="message">Message</h3>
    <div>Date/Time: <span id="datetime">datetime</span></div>

Will output:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>My New Title</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div class="template">
            <h3 id="message">Hello templateking!</h3>
            <div>Date/Time: <span id="datetime">Tue Nov 24 2015 12:51:23 GMT-0600 (CST)</span></div>
        </div>
    </body>
</html>

(Layout reformated for clarity.)

See the examples directory for more examples and additional functionality, including grabbing a portion of a template and repeatedtly writing it out to form table rows and lists.
