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 🙏

Weather Dest

File

Instructions

  • Take a moment to run the weatherdest.js application. (Try to figure out what it takes to run on your own!)

  • Then, with a partner, spend a few moments answering the following questions:

    • What does the code do?

    • How does it work at a general level?

    • How does it work at a line level?

NPM Init/Install

  • Navigate to the root of your project folder

  • Then do the following:

    • Create a package.json file (i.e. run npm init)

    • Add your dependencies to the package.json (i.e. run npm install <package-name1> and npm install <package-name2>)

    • Confirm that you now have a node_modules folder with the <package-name1> and <package-name2> packages as a result

    • Finally, re-run your weatherDest.js to confirm that it still works as expected

  • Now delete your node_modules folder again but keep your packages.json file. This time...

    • Simply run npm install or npm i

    • Confirm that you once again have a node_modules folder with your packages listed as dependencies

    • Finally, re-run weatherDest.js to confirm that it still works as expected
