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

Hydrogen is an open-source design and CSS utility framework powered by data-attributes.

By parsing the contents of custom data-h2- attributes, Hydrogen allows you to style elements completely from your markup. It comes equipped with a comprehensive library of tools and configurations for easy, seamless development. At runtime, it processes your markup and builds a CSS file that contains only the code you've used, preventing duplication and bloat.

Website | Roadmap

🛠️ Basic usage

Installation

  • navigate to your project
  • run npm install @hydrogen-css/hydrogen to install Hydrogen
  • run npx h2-init to create a configuration file and set up your input/output directories
  • modify your hydrogen.config.json file to match your theme
  • add data-h2 to your <html> element or parent wrapper
  • run npx h2-build when you're ready to build your CSS or integrate the module into your build tool

Syntax

Hydrogen uses a custom data-attribute syntax:

data-h2-property="query:modifiers(options)"

An example of a Hydrogen attribute in use looks something like this:

data-h2-color="base(primary) base:hover(accent)"

This repository also contains a handy hydrogen.snippets.json file that offers snippet automation for VS Code, enabling auto completion and tab stops so that you don't have to memorize options for every property.

🏗️ Configuration

Hydrogen is configured using a hydrogen.config.json file located at the root of your project. The npx h2-init script is designed to create this file for you and prompts for some required information to get things working.

Within this configuration file, you can modify many of Hydrogen's options to include values that suit your project's needs and theme, including custom media queries, colors, typography, and shadows.

You can learn more about configuring Hydrogen in the documentation.

🤖 Features

Utilities

Hydrogen supports almost all CSS properties and includes a handful of custom properties that provide support for common tasks such as containers or color overlays. Standard CSS properties accept their relevant CSS syntax as options.

data-h2-display="base(grid)" data-h2-border-top="base(1px solid black)"

Properties that are unique to Hydrogen use a comma separated syntax to accept specific options:

data-h2-container="base(center, large)" data-h2-flex-grid="base(flex-start, x2)"

Queries and modifiers

The biggest advantage to Hydrogen's data-attribute syntax is that it enables the use of inline media queries, selectors, states, targeting of nested elements, and dark mode. By chaining modifiers onto your query, you can target complex combinations of elements, manage styles based on the presence of classes or ids, bulk style an element's children, and more.

Learn more about modifiers in the documentation.

Speed and compression

Hydrogen uses custom scripting to scan your code for data-h2- attributes and then builds a CSS stylesheet that contains only Hydrogen's core and the attributes you've used. No bloat. No duplication. This means that the library in production is concise while allowing it to provide a robust set of features and support complex customization.

It also runs Lightning CSS on itself to provide a complete, production ready file.

Development and contribution

  • Fork the repository and pull it down

  • Navigate to the code repository and run npm run setup

  • To add a feature or propose a change, ensure you're doing the following:

    • Update the relevant files in the lib directory
    • Update or create matching Jest test files for your changes
    • If relevant, add a visual test in the test directory's markup
    • Update the documentation in the docs directory

  • Submit a pull request with details on your changes

  • Hydrogen takes two approaches to development testing:

    • Jest is used for function level unit tests and can be run using npm run jest
    • The test directory contains a working Hydrogen project for visual testing and real-world compiling tests and can be run using npm run test

The folder structure in the lib directory tries to reflect the relationships between functions, including whether a function is a synchronous build step or a reusable parsing function. You can read up on specifics about how Hydrogen works on a technical level in the CONTRIBUTING.md file.
