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 🙏

Yalc-watch improved

npm

Based on johot's yalc-watch, but with a few improvements:

  • Package is now published with LF line endings instead of CRLF to improve compatibility with Mac + Linux when using yarn.
  • Cleaned up + updated dependencies => less vulnerabilities.
  • all config settings are now optional and have default values

| setting | default | |---------------------|----------------------| | buildWatchCommand | yarn watch | | extensions | js,jsx,ts,tsx,json | | watchFolder | build |

Why

Yalc is an awesome tool for developing and testing your packages / libraries locally without publishing to npm.

The only thing yalc is currently missing is a way of watching the build output of a library and then automatically pushing that build into the projects you want to test it with.

This can be really helpful when building something like a design system or component library where you want instant feedback in a consuming app.

What

This very simple package will allow you to monitor an output folder (using nodemon under the hood) and will automatically call yalc push when a change is detected.

The yalc push command will automaticaly update all projects where you have previously installed your package locally using the yalc add your-package-name command.

For projects such as next.js or create-react-app this will automatically trigger a live reload of your project.

How

In your library / package install yalc-watch as a dev dependency:

npm i yalc-watch-improved --save-dev

or

yarn add -D yalc-watch-improved

Add the following confic JSON to your package.json and tweak to your liking:

...
"yalcWatch": {
  "watchFolder": "dist",
  "buildWatchCommand": "tsc --watch",
  "extensions": "js,png,svg,gif,jpeg,css",
}
...

Still in your package.json add the following to the scripts section:

"scripts": {
  ...
  "yalc-watch": "yalc-watch",
  ...
}

Now simply run the command:

npm run yalc-watch

yalc-watch will start running the configured buildWatchCommand and look for changes in your configured watchFolder. When a change is detected the yalc push command will be executed updating all projects that added your package using yalc add your-package-name.

If you haven't already done so. You need to install your package in the consuming app using the yalc add your-package-name for yalc push to have any effect.

Enjoy!
