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

@bigcommerce/script-loader

Build Status

A library for loading JavaScript files asynchronously. It loads script files by injecting script tags into DOM during runtime.

Install

You can install this library using npm.

npm install --save @bigcommerce/script-loader

Usage

For scripts

To load a single script:

import { createScriptLoader } from '@bigcommerce/script-loader';

const loader = createScriptLoader();

loader.loadScript('https://cdn.foo.bar/main.js')
    .then(() => {
        console.log('Loaded!');
    });

To load multiple scripts:

loader.loadScripts([
    'https://cdn.foo.bar/vendor.js',
    'https://cdn.foo.bar/main.js',
]);

To load a script with async attribute:

loader.loadScript('https://cdn.foo.bar/main.js', { async: true });

To preload or prefetch a script:

loader.preloadScript('https://cdn.foo.bar/chunk.js');
loader.preloadScript('https://cdn.foo.bar/another-chunk.js', { prefetch: true });

A prefetched script is a low priority resource, therefore it will be downloaded in the background when the browser is idle. On the other hand, a script without prefetch option will be marked as a high priority resource and downloaded immediately.

Please note that the preloaded or prefetched script won't be executed. It will just be downloaded to the browser cache. To attach it to the document and execute it, you will need to call loadScript with the same URL.

To preload or prefetch multiple scripts:

loader.preloadScripts([
    'https://cdn.foo.bar/chunk.js',
    'https://cdn.foo.bar/another-chunk.js',
]);

loader.preloadScripts([
    'https://cdn.foo.bar/chunk.js',
    'https://cdn.foo.bar/another-chunk.js',
], { prefetch: true });

For browsers that don't have the ability to preload or prefetch resources, scripts will be loaded using regular Ajax requests instead.

For stylesheets

To load a single stylesheet:

import { createStylesheetLoader } from '@bigcommerce/script-loader';

const loader = createStylesheetLoader();

loader.loadStylesheet('https://cdn.foo.bar/main.css')
    .then(() => {
        console.log('Loaded!');
    });

To load multiple stylesheets:

loader.loadStylesheet([
    'https://cdn.foo.bar/vendor.css',
    'https://cdn.foo.bar/main.css',
]);

To prepend, instead of append, a stylesheet to the head of a document:

loader.loadStylesheet('https://cdn.foo.bar/main.css', { prepend: true });

To preload or prefetch a stylesheet:

loader.preloadStylesheet('https://cdn.foo.bar/chunk.css');
loader.preloadStylesheet('https://cdn.foo.bar/another-chunk.css', { prefetch: true });

Similar to a preloaded script, a preloaded or prefetched stylesheet won't take an effect until it is attached to the document. To do it, you will need to call loadStylesheet with the same URL.

loader.preloadStylesheets([
    'https://cdn.foo.bar/chunk.css',
    'https://cdn.foo.bar/another-chunk.css',
]);

loader.preloadStylesheets([
    'https://cdn.foo.bar/chunk.css',
    'https://cdn.foo.bar/another-chunk.css',
], { prefetch: true });
