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 🙏

###About Wikiminer is a wrapper for the Wikipedia API that provides data mining functionality. By simply providing the title of a Wikipedia article, Wikiminer returns a promise, passing through an object that contains:

  • the text of that article
  • the text of that article stripped of stopwords
  • an array containing the most common words in the article and their occurences
  • an array containing the least common words in the article and their occurences

When finding most and least common words, case is ignored and singular and plural versions of words are counted together.

###Usage

npm install wikiminer
const wikiminer = require('wikiminer');
wikiminer(*title*, *topCount*, *leastCount*);
  • title: String, must be a valid title of a Wikipedia page.
  • topCount: Number, number of words to include in most common words list. Default: 20
  • leastCount: Number, number of words to include in least common words list. Default: 20

result structure { text: '', textMinusStop: '', topWords: [], leastWords: [] }

###Example

The following example

const wikiminer = require('wikiminer');

wikiminer('dog', 5, 5)
.then(function(result){
  console.log(result)
})

Will print to the console:

{
  text: /*the text of the dog article*/,
  textMinusStop: /*the text of the dog article without stop words */ ,
  topWords:[ { word: 'dog', count: 345 },
     { word: 'human', count: 60 },
     { word: 'wolf', count: 48 },
     { word: 'breed', count: 47 },
     { word: 'pet', count: 40 } ],
  leastWords: [ { word: 'inadequate', count: 1 },
     { word: 'taxa', count: 1 },
     { word: 'colour', count: 1 },
     { word: 'sobriquet', count: 1 },
     { word: 'etymology', count: 1 } ]
}
