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

🚨 Deprecation Notice

The <Elsewhere /> component relies upon the toString() method to delegate native functions to a <WebView />, which is not possible to achieve in conjunction with the Hermes engine.

Developers are urged to migrate into nodejs-mobile-react-native-bridge.

react-native-elsewhere

Ridiculously simple React Native thread unblocking.

🚀 Getting Started

Using npm:

npm install --save @cawfree/react-native-elsewhere

Using yarn:

yarn add @cawfree/react-native-elsewhere

Yeah, no linking. 👍

⚙ How does it work?

By delegating stateless JavaScript computation to a <WebView />, your app can maintain responsive whilst you crunch through heavy computation in the background.

import React, {Component} from 'react';
import {WebView, Button, Platform, StyleSheet, Text, View, Alert} from 'react-native';

import Elsewhere from '@cawfree/react-native-elsewhere';

// https://gist.github.com/sqren/5083d73f184acae0c5b7
function doSomethingIntense(postMessage, { source }) {
  const now = new Date();
  let result = 0;   
  for (var i = Math.pow(10, 7); i >= 0; i--) {      
    result += Math.atan(i) * Math.tan(i);
  };
  postMessage({
    source,
    result,
    dt: new Date().getTime() - now.getTime(),
  });
}

type Props = {};
export default class App extends Component<Props> {
  state = {
    postMessage: () => null,
  }
  render() {
    const {
      postMessage,
    } = this.state;
    return (
      <View style={styles.container}>
        <Elsewhere
          WebView={WebView}
          engine={doSomethingIntense}
          onMessage={data => Alert.alert(JSON.stringify(data))}
          onPostMessage={(postMessage) => {
            this.setState({
              postMessage,
            });
          }}
        />
        <Text style={styles.welcome}>Welcome to React Native!</Text>
        <Text style={styles.instructions}>To get started, open the debug menu and enable the performance monitor so we can watch the JS frame rate.</Text>
        <Text style={styles.instructions}>It should read a steady 60fps. ⏰ </Text>
        <Text style={styles.instructions}>{'🤓'}</Text>
        <Text style={styles.instructions}>Tap the Button below to watch your frame rate plummet! 📉 </Text>
        <View
          style={{
            padding: 10,
          }}
        >
          <Button
            title="Run on JS thread"
            style={styles.button}
            onPress={() => doSomethingIntense(
              (data) => Alert.alert(JSON.stringify(data)),
              { source: 'ui' },
            )}
          />
        </View>
        <Text style={styles.instructions}>Intense, right? Now run the exact same operation inside of an Elsewhere. 📈 </Text>
        <View
          style={{
            padding: 10,
          }}
        >
          <Button
            title="Run on Elsewhere"
            style={styles.button}
            onPress={() => postMessage(
              { source: 'web' },
            )}
          />
        </View>
        <Text>See how the frame rate stays at 60? Magic. 🔮 </Text>
      </View>
    );
  }
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    justifyContent: 'center',
    alignItems: 'center',
    backgroundColor: '#F5FCFF',
  },
  welcome: {
    fontSize: 20,
    textAlign: 'center',
    margin: 10,
  },
  instructions: {
    textAlign: 'center',
    color: '#333333',
    marginBottom: 5,
  },
  button: {
    marginBottom: 15,
  }
});

💾 Persistence

Using the scripts prop, it is possible to define an array of urls that you'd like to import as <script/>s within your JavaScript logic. Some scripts you call to may rely on localStorage for persistence between launches of your application; however for this to work successfully, your engine will need to be serialized to a file location so that thr browser can associate stored data with a given file uri.

This can be achieved using the following, which uses react-native-fs as the file I/O utility.

import React from 'react';
import Elsewhere from '@cawfree/react-native-elsewhere';
import fs from 'react-native-fs';

// XXX: Declare a uri where we'd like to store the evaluated
//      engine on the device file system.
const uri = `${fs.CachesDirectoryPath}/elsewhere.html`;

export default class Persisted extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <Elsewhere
        engine={engine}
        uri={uri}
        scripts={[
          // XXX: for example, you could use lokijs as a persistent database!
          'https://rawgit.com/techfort/LokiJS/master/src/lokijs.js',
          'https://rawgit.com/techfort/LokiJS/master/src/loki-indexed-adapter.js',
          // XXX: or you could make lodash available to your engine
          'https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/lodash.js/1.2.1/lodash.min.js',
        ]}
        onRequestPersist={(html, url) => {
          // XXX: You must return a Promise, which when reslved guarantees
          //      that the engine html has been saved to the requested uri.
          return fs.writeFile(
            url,
            html,
          );
        }}
      />
    );
  }
}
