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

url-safe-string

Dependency free node module to convert strings to URL-safe tags for client side routing, SEO purposes, or, whatever else.

About

This module has no dependencies, is written in vanilla JavaScript and the newest features it uses are in ES5 (String.prototype.trim(), which happens to be optional). It should work in just about any browser, has a small footprint and is meant to be used with frameworks such as AngularJS. The module is also fully tested.

Warning

This module uses new ECMAScript 2015 (aka ES6) Syntax "const" and "let". Please use it with node 4 or above or transpile it before using it in a browser. If you want to write a babel post-install npm script I'll accept the PR :)

You can also ref the 1.0.0 version if you need the older syntax for the browser.

Install

npm install --save url-safe-string

Usage

const UrlSafeString = require('url-safe-string'),
      tagGenerator  = new UrlSafeString();

let tag = tagGenerator.generate('Some Book Name Here!', 'Some authors Name', 'Publisher or something...');

// tag value --> 'some-book-name-here-some-authors-name-publisher-or-something'

options

These are the default options, which can all be overriden by passing an object into the constructor.

// Configured Defaults:
const _opts = {
  maxLen:             100,                   // truncates beyond maxLen
  lowercaseOnly:      true,
  regexRemovePattern: /((?!([a-z0-9])).)/gi, // matches opposite of [a-z0-9]
  joinString:         '-',                   // e.g. - may be: '-', '_', '#'
  trimWhitespace:     true
}

// Call constructor with custom options:
const urlSafeTag = new UrlSafeTag({
  maxLen:        50,
  lowercaseOnly: false
});

Tests

This module has a test suite, it uses mocha which is installed via dev dependencies. You can run it using npm scripts:

npm run test
