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

tinylrs(tiny-livereload-server)

version Build Status download GitHub issues

nodei

  • Watched files changed ==> reload browser pages
  • A separate livereload server that include both static-file-server(just script) and websocket
  • You don't need install the livereload browser-extension,such as chrome,or other.
  • Just only npm, don't need grunt or gulp or others, don't need download file livereload.js any more
  • Simple and tiny: Only 3 Dependencies: tinylr , gaze, minimist
  • Cross platform Windows, *nix(Mac-OSX or Linux).

1.Installation

$ npm install -g tinylrs

or npm install --save-dev tinylrs

2.Usage

step 1: inject a <script> tag into html (the tail of <body> tag)

<script src="http://localhost:35729/livereload.js?snipver=1"></script>

Just only inject the code.And you don't need download the file(livereload.js)!

step 2: start tinylrs

run in bash directly (need install it globally first)

$ cd %your_project_dir%
$ tinylrs './your_watch_dir/**/*.*'

Maybe you should add char '' to include the target dir if you use it in osx(mac) or other unix like.

step 3: visit the web site by your own server

eg: http://localhost:8080/index

Now,browser page will be refreshed when your watched-target-files were changed!

More-detail

1.command line

$ tinylrs --help
Usage: tinylrs [options]
   eg: tinylrs './dist/**/*.*'
       tinylrs './dist/**/*.js,./dist/**/*.css,../../views/**/*.html'
       tinylrs -d './dist/**/*.js,./dist/**/*.css'  -p 35279
       tinylrs --dirs='./dist/**/*.js,./dist/**/*.css'  --port=35279

Options:

 -h,--help           show usage information
 -V,--version        show current version information
 -d,--dirs<folder>   *necessary!!* The director of watch targets files,
                     both path-array and single-path
 -p,--port<integer>  unnecessary! The server port,both websocket-server
                     and static-file-server,default 35279
 -l,--lrfile<file>   unnecessary! The filepath of 'livereload.js',
                     default a build-in-file

(1).param support the array,just like this: (array ele split by char ',')

$ tinylrs './watch_dir_0/**/*.js,./watch_dir_1/**/*.css,./watch_dir_2/**/*.html'

(2).You can also set the server port by runtime args:*

$ tinylrs -d './your_watch_dir/**/*.*'  -p 66666

besides,you should set the same port to the <script> tag

<script src="http://localhost:66666/livereload.js?snipver=1"></script>

(3).run in your npm-scripts

1: package.json

{
  "scripts":{
    "tinylrs": "tinylrs -d './your_watch_dir/**/*.*' -p 66666"
  }
}

2: run in bash

$ npm run tinylrs

2.development

var Tinylrs = require("tinylrs");
var myTlrs = Tinylrs({
    watchList: [
        "./dist/**/*.*",
        "../public/views/*.html"
    ],
    port: 66666,
    lrfile: null
});
myTlrs.start();
// you can also use the myTlrs.server,it is a tiny-lr server instance

Questions

1.Install failed: You maybe include 'sudo' in front of command line,if use it on *unix os like linux or mac-osx

sudo npm i -g tinylrs

2.No matches found: xxxx/path/xxxx

check the directors you have type in,if use it on *unix os like linux or mac-osx

Have fun with it!
