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

@cardstack/live-queries

This addon integrates with the cardstack hub to give you "live" queries – ones which automatically refresh when records have updated on the server.

Installation

yarn add @cardstack/live-queries

Usage

// some component.js
import Component from "@ember/component";
import { liveQuery } from "@cardstack/live-queries";

export default Component.extend({
  sortField: 'updatedAt',
  sortOrder: 'desc',
  items: liveQuery('sortField', 'sortOrder', function(sortField, sortOrder) {
    let sort = (sortOrder === 'desc') ? `-${sortField}` : sortField;
    return {
      type: "item",
      query: { sort }
    };
  })
});

items is now a computed property for an Ember Data query – it returns a Promise for an AdapterPopulatedRecordArray, just like Store#query. When events come in that require refreshing the query, we simply call update on it. If the dependent keys change, we create a whole new query.

At the moment, you can only use this on Components, because we use the lifecycle hooks to manage update subscriptions to the backend.

Configuration

By default, this plugin starts a socket.io server on port 3100. If you'd like, you can change this to another port by specifying socket-port in a plugin-config in your seed models:

// cardstack/seeds/development/config.js
module.exports = {
  type: 'plugin-configs',
  id: '@cardstack/live-queries',
  attributes: {
    'socket-port': 3200
  }
};

TODO

  • Improve refresh granularity
  • Add passing only an object for simple, non-computed queries
  • Add support for proper lifecycle on routes, maybe controllers, maybe services?
  • Document using subscriptions directly, when you want to do something more custom than just keeping a RecordArray up to date.
  • Document event-only (doesn't query for you - for when you want to do something besides just update the record array)
  • Extract @cardstack/socket
