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 🙏

File watcher plugin for egg

NPM version build status Test coverage David deps Known Vulnerabilities npm download

Usage

In worker process:

app.watcher.watch(path, listener)

Start watching file(s).

  • path(String|Array): file path(s)
  • listener(Function): file change callback

app.watcher.unwatch(path[, listener])

Stop watching file(s).

  • path(String|Array): file path(s)
  • listener(Function): file change callback

In agent process:

agent.watcher.watch(path, listener)

Start watching file(s).

  • path(String|Array): file path(s)
  • listener(Function): file change callback

agent.watcher.unwatch(path[, listener])

Stop watching file(s).

  • path(String|Array): file path(s)
  • listener(Function): file change callback

Watching mode

development Mode

There's a built-in development mode which works in local(env is local). Once files on disk is modified it will emit a change event immediately.

Customize Watching Mode

Say we want to build a custom event source plugin (package name: egg-watcher-custom, eggPlugin.name: watcherCustom).

Firstly define our custom event source like this:

// {plugin_root}/lib/custom_event_source.js
const Base = require('sdk-base');
class CustomEventSource extends Base {
  // `opts` comes from app.config[${eventSourceName}]
  // `eventSourceName` will be registered later in
  // `config.watcher.eventSources` as the key shown below
  constructor(opts) {
    super(opts);
    this.ready(true);
  }

  watch(path) {
    // replace this with your desired way of watching,
    // when aware of any change, emit a `change` event
    // with an info object containing `path` property
    // specifying the changed directory or file.
    this._h = setInterval(() => {
      this.emit('change', { path });
    }, 1000);
  }

  unwatch() {
    // replace this with your implementation
    if (this._h) {
      clearInterval(this._h);
    }
  }
}

module.exports = CustomEventSource;

Event source implementations varies according to your running environment. When working with vagrant, docker, samba or such other non-standard way of development, you should use a different watch API specific to what you are working with.

Then add your custom event source to config:

// config.default.js
exports.watcher = {
  eventSources: {
    custom: require('../lib/custom_event_source'),
  },
};

Choose to use your custom watching mode in your desired env.

// config.${env}.js
exports.watcher = {
  type: 'custom',
};

// this will pass to your CustomEventSource constructor as opts
exports.watcherCustom = {
  // foo: 'bar',
};

If possible, plugins named like egg-watcher-${customName}(egg-watcher-vagrant eg.) are recommended.
