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

xinquirer : inquirer, but for the X

like Inquirer.js but for X. Ask user questions showing dialogs on top of the current window. Based on electron. node.js API similar to Inquirer.js. CLI supported.

WIP

Widgets supported right now

  • select-files
  • show-message
  • confirm
  • select-color
  • input

node.js API

TODO. For now look at examples/select2FilesAnd2Folders

CLI

npm install -g xinquirer
xinquirer --type select-color --message "Please select a color for your user" 
xinquirer --configFile questions1.json --out answers.json
xinquirer --configFile questions1.js --out answers.json

configFile could be json or .js. IF you want to validate inputs then you need to write js functions.

example: TODO.

objectives:

  • basic components
  • 100% offline
  • support linux windows and mac

Run examples

Build and run :

npm run build && npm start -- dist/examples/showMessageSimple1.js

|

Just run:

npm start -- dist/examples/showMessageSimple1.js

Motivation:

This project is a joke, i'm loading electron jast for this. The reality is that I don't like developing UIs, don't want to waste time on it, and I need to interact with users in a UI application and text / command line in that environment is not good: I need to render dialogs on top of the other app!

I'm starting developing typescript plugins (not for the public just for me - to play!) and I don't want to learn any editor oro IDE API - just with typescript compiler API i have enough. so I need a cheap way of putting inquirer-like dialogs on top of the user's IDE / editors asking him for files, confirmation, etc.
