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 🙏

Map Loader for Google Maps Platform JavaScript API v3

Description

Automatically loads a Google map into your website with a few lines of JavaScript or TypeScript. You provide the ID of the div where you want the map initialized or appended to, your settings for what the map looks like, and optionally your settings for loading the Maps JS API, and this module handles the rest.

Loading of the Google Maps Platform JavaScript API is taken care of for you asynchronously courteousy of @googlemaps/js-api-loader.

NPM

Available via NPM as the package @googlemaps/map-loader

Example

Set map loader options

import { GoogleMap } from 'map-loader';

const googleMapsAPIKey = "YOUR API KEY";

/* Options for how the map should initially render. */
const mapOptions = {
  center: {
    lat: 47.649196,
    lng: -122.350384
  },
  zoom: 12
}

/* Options for loading the Maps JS API. */
const apiOptions = {
  version: 'weekly',
  libraries: ['places']
}

/*
 * Set ID of the div where the map will be loaded,
 * and whether to append to that div.
 */
const mapLoaderOptions = {
  apiKey: googleMapsAPIKey,
  divId: 'google_map',
  append: true, // Appends to divId. Set to false to init in divId.
  mapOptions: mapOptions,
  apiOptions: apiOptions
};

Load the map:

// Instantiate map loader
const mapLoader = new GoogleMap();

// Load the map
mapLoader
  .initMap(mapLoaderOptions)
  .then(googleMap => {
    // returns instance of google.maps.Map
  });

Or if you like, with async/await

// Instantiate map loader
const mapLoader = new GoogleMap();

// Load the map
const await googleMap = mapLoader.initMap(mapLoaderOptions);
