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

typings-checker CircleCI

The tests in DefinitelyTyped verify that correct code type checks. But this is an easy bar to meet: giving a module an any type is sufficient to make its tests type check.

It's just as important that incorrect code not typecheck. There isn't any way to test for this in DT right now. This repo provides a proof of concept for how this could be added. It's modeleled after the way FlowTyped handles things.

Here's what a test for _.find might look like:

_.find([1, 2, 3], x => x * 1 == 3);  // (this is just expected to type check)
// $ExpectError Operator '==' cannot be applied to types 'number' and 'string'.
_.find([1, 2, 3], x => x == 'a');
// $ExpectType number
_.find([1, 2, 3], 1);
// $ExpectError Property 'y' does not exist on type '{ x: number; }'.
_.find([{x:1}, {x:2}, {x:3}], v => v.y == 3);
// $ExpectType { x: number; }
_.find([{x:1}, {x:2}, {x:3}], v => v.x == 3);

Code is expected to type check unless an $ExpectError directive is used. In this case, an error is required (lack of an error from TypeScript is a test failure).

An $ExpectType directive tests the type of the expression on the next line. This prevents unexpected any or {} types from creeping in.

Usage

npm install -g typings-checker
typings-checker --project tsconfig.json your-test.ts your-second-test.ts

Options

--project
  Path to the relevant tsconfig.json file

--allow-expect-error
  Enables $ExpectError assertions. These can help pin down behavior but they
  also prevent tsc from running over your assertions. Disabled by default.

Development

$ npm install -g yarn ts-node
$ yarn
$ ts-node src/index.ts sample.ts
