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

@cross-check/dsl

A low-level validation library. Built on top of @cross-check/core. Detailed philosophy about cross-check can be found in @cross-check/core.

It was originally extracted from Condé Nast's CMS and sponsored by Condé Nast.

It's largely focused on building a small, flexible, but useful core primitive for composing validations. This library focuses on ensuring that validators can be composed easily in various useful ways. The composition goals were informed by Condé Nast's working system, since the first iteration of this library successfully replaced existing validators in its production system.

The short version of the philosophy of cross-check:

  • Validation is more than schema. A good validation library cannot avoid considering UI concerns in its core design.
  • Framework agnostic, but framework friendly. Generic validators should work regardless of quirks of frameworks or libraries like immutable.js, but you should feel perfectly at home using it in vanilla js.
  • Values, not models. cross-check validates values, not models, which means it's just as capable of validating that a string is in a valid format as it is capable of validating a "model" in an ORM.
  • Functional, not effectful. The design of the core data structures is functional: validators are pure functions that return validation errors.
  • Localization agnostic, but formatting friendly. Error messages are data structures that can be formatted, which makes it very easy to integrate them with localization libraries, but does not mandate a particular localization strategy.
  • Different rules for different contexts. This means, for example, that specific field validations in an object validator can be designated as "publish" validations, and ignored when an article is a "draft".
  • Async-friendly. The validation function itself is asynchronous, which makes it easy to add async behavior to a validator when you need it. For example: validating username uniqueness by hitting a web service.

The @cross-check/core repository unpacks these points in much greater detail.
