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 🙏

HTMLS - HyperText Markup LiveScript!

Inspired by HTML templating engines like pug, I got an idea - "Could I make a template engine that uses proper LiveScript code as templates?"

What you see here is the outcome of said idea - a functional (HTML5) templating engine that, as originally visioned, uses proper LiveScript code as its templates.

Word of Warning: While HTMLS is available on npm, keep in mind that it was something put together in a few hours as a fun exercise. As such, you should probably not use it in any kind of serious production and go with something more stable and mature instead.

Installation

You can get HTMLS via npm:

$ npm install @chronobserver/htmls

Example

doctype \html
html {lang: \en} ->
  head ->
    meta charset: \utf8
    title @title
    meta description: "A silly experiment in templating"
    link rel: \stylesheet href: \htmls.css
    script {type: "text/javascript"} """
      if (javascript === "stinks") {
        console.log("You should use LiveScript instead!");
      }
    """
  body ->
    header ->
      h1 "HTMLS - HyperText Markup LiveScript!" 
    main ->
      if @using-htmls
        p "I see that you are using HTMLS. You must be very brave."
      else
        p "Maybe you have made a sensible decision after all?"
    footer ->
      $ "HTMLS, a silly experiment by "
      a {href: "https://github.com/Daiz-/"} "Daiz"

Given {title: "HTMLS", usingHtmls: true} as input, this compiles to:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="utf8">
  <title>HTMLS</title>
  <meta description="A silly experiment in templating">
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="htmls.css">
  <script type="text/javascript">
    if (javascript === "stinks") {
      console.log("You should use LiveScript instead!");
    }
  </script>
</head>
<body>
  <header>
    <h1>HTMLS - HyperText Markup LiveScript!</h1>
  </header>
  <main>
    <p>I see that you are using HTMLS. You must be very brave.</p>
  </main>
  <footer>
    HTMLS, a silly experiment by <a href="https://github.com/Daiz-/">Daiz</a>
  </footer>
</body>
</html>

Usage

Usage of HTMLS is quite straightforward. You load the module, you call it with a template string and it spits out a function that you can then use to render said template with any given data. Like so:

// JavaScript
const htmls = require('@chronobserver/htmls');
const templateText = 'p "Hello, #@!"';
const templateFunc = htmls(templateText);
const html = templateFunc('John Smith'); // <p>Hello, John Smith!</p>
# LiveScript
require! \@chronobserver/htmls
template-text = 'p "Hello, #@!"'
template-func = htmls template-text
html = template-func 'John Smith' # <p>Hello, John Smith!</p>

Writing Templates

  • You can only use valid HTML5 element names.
  • You should not use HTML5 element names as variable names.
  • Arguments are accessed via this. or @ for short.
  • Use the $ function for plain text output inside an element.
