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 🙏

Functions necessary for downloading and caching tools.

Support download RC version

Usage

Download

You can use this to download tools (or other files) from a download URL:

const tc = require('@actions/tool-cache');

const node12Path = await tc.downloadTool('https://nodejs.org/dist/v12.7.0/node-v12.7.0-linux-x64.tar.gz');

Extract

These can then be extracted in platform specific ways:

const tc = require('@actions/tool-cache');

if (process.platform === 'win32') {
  const node12Path = await tc.downloadTool('https://nodejs.org/dist/v12.7.0/node-v12.7.0-win-x64.zip');
  const node12ExtractedFolder = await tc.extractZip(node12Path, 'path/to/extract/to');

  // Or alternately
  const node12Path = await tc.downloadTool('https://nodejs.org/dist/v12.7.0/node-v12.7.0-win-x64.7z');
  const node12ExtractedFolder = await tc.extract7z(node12Path, 'path/to/extract/to');
}
else if (process.platform === 'darwin') {
  const node12Path = await tc.downloadTool('https://nodejs.org/dist/v12.7.0/node-v12.7.0.pkg');
  const node12ExtractedFolder = await tc.extractXar(node12Path, 'path/to/extract/to');
}
else {
  const node12Path = await tc.downloadTool('https://nodejs.org/dist/v12.7.0/node-v12.7.0-linux-x64.tar.gz');
  const node12ExtractedFolder = await tc.extractTar(node12Path, 'path/to/extract/to');
}

Cache

Finally, you can cache these directories in our tool-cache. This is useful if you want to switch back and forth between versions of a tool, or save a tool between runs for self-hosted runners.

You'll often want to add it to the path as part of this step:

const tc = require('@actions/tool-cache');
const core = require('@actions/core');

const node12Path = await tc.downloadTool('https://nodejs.org/dist/v12.7.0/node-v12.7.0-linux-x64.tar.gz');
const node12ExtractedFolder = await tc.extractTar(node12Path, 'path/to/extract/to');

const cachedPath = await tc.cacheDir(node12ExtractedFolder, 'node', '12.7.0');
core.addPath(cachedPath);

You can also cache files for reuse.

const tc = require('@actions/tool-cache');

const cachedPath = await tc.cacheFile('path/to/exe', 'destFileName.exe', 'myExeName', '1.1.0');

Find

Finally, you can find directories and files you've previously cached:

const tc = require('@actions/tool-cache');
const core = require('@actions/core');

const nodeDirectory = tc.find('node', '12.x', 'x64');
core.addPath(nodeDirectory);

You can even find all cached versions of a tool:

const tc = require('@actions/tool-cache');

const allNodeVersions = tc.findAllVersions('node');
console.log(`Versions of node available: ${allNodeVersions}`);
