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 🙏

Vite Plugin Externalize Dependencies npm

A simplified plugin for Vite that allows you to exclude specific dependencies from the Vite bundle during development.

The following errors/warnings are supressed:

  • The entry point [moduleName] cannot be marked as external
  • Do not know how to load path: [namespace:moduleName]
  • Failed to resolve import [dependency] from [sourceFile]. Does the file exist?
  • The following dependencies are imported but could not be resolved: [dependency] (imported by [sourceFile])

Table of Contents

Installation

To install the plugin, use npm:

npm i vite-plugin-externalize-dependencies --save-dev

Usage

After installing the plugin, import it, and add it to Vite configuration:

import { defineConfig } from "vite";
import externalize from "vite-plugin-externalize-dependencies";

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    externalize({
      externals: [
        "react", // Externalize "react", and all of its subexports (react/*), such as react/jsx-runtime
        /^external-.*/, // Externalize all modules starting with "external-"
        (moduleName) => moduleName.includes("external"), // Externalize all modules containing "external",
      ],
    }),
  ],
});

Modules can be externalized by name (exact match), by regex, or by a custom function (returning true to externalize the module). The plugin will automatically externalize all subexports of a module, such as react/jsx-runtime.

Requirements

The plugin is intended to be consumed by Vite.

Contributions are welcome! If you wish to contribute, you can use the following npm commands to help facilitate your development process:

  • dev: Serve index.html for development testing.
  • build: Build the plugin.
