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 🙏

us-ca-state-converter

The US State and territories + Canadian provinces and territories Converter package is a module that I modified to convert state, providence and territory names to their USPS abbreviations or vice versa. I tried to make it as simple as possible but would any feedback!

Installation

NPM:

npm install us-ca-state-converter

Yarn:

yarn add us-ca-state-converter

Usage

Import the package first

const states = require('us-ca-state-converter')

You can get a full list of objects for each US state and territory by calling the function with no parameters

const listOfStates = states()
console.log(listOfStates)
/* This will return an array of objects for each state including the state name, USPS, ISO, and USCG abbreviations, and the demonym for each state */

A single object for an individual state can be retrieved by passing a USPS abbreviation or a full state name

const wiscObject = states('WI')
console.log(wiscObject)
/*  Will log: {
    name: 'Wisconsin',
    usps: 'WI',
    demonym: 'Wisconsinite',
    iso: 'US-WI',
    altAbbr: [ 'Wis', 'Wisc' ],
    uscg: 'WS'
    }
*/

You can get the USPS abbreviation directly by using the .abbr() method

const abbr = states.abbr('Illinois')
console.log(abbr) // <- Logs 'IL'

You can do a reverse search using the USPS abbreviation to get the full name of the state, as well, using the .fullName() method

const state = states.fullName('MN')
console.log(state) // <- Logs 'Minnesota'

If you need a list of just the 50 states without territories, provinces or DC, the .only50() method will do that for you

const fiftyStates = states.only50()
console.log(fiftyStates)
/* This will log the same array of objects as states(), only with the territories, provinces and DC removed */

Finally, I added a method to find the demonym for any state, for funsies. the method is simply called .demonym()

const cheesehead = states.demonym('Wisconsin')
console.log(cheeshead) // <- Logs 'Wisconsinite', actually 🧀

That's it for now! I would love any feedback or ideas on how I can expand this.
