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 🙏

Solid JavaScript Client - solid-client

Contributor
Covenant

This project adheres to the Contributor Covenant code of conduct. By participating, you are expected to uphold this code. Please report unacceptable behavior to [email protected].

@inrupt/solid-client is a JavaScript library for accessing data and managing permissions on data stored in Solid Pods. It provides an abstraction layer on top of both Solid and Resource Description Framework (RDF) principles and is compatible with the RDF/JS specification. You can use solid-client in Node.js using either CommonJS or ES modules, and in the browser with a bundler like Webpack, Rollup, or Parcel.

@inrupt/solid-client is part of a family open source JavaScript libraries designed to support developers building Solid applications.

Data access and permissions management - solid-client

@inrupt/solid-client allows developers to access data and manage permissions on data stored in Solid Pods.

@inrupt/solid-client-authn-browser allows apps running in a browser to authenticate against a Solid server. This is only necessary if you wish to access private resources in a Pod (to access public resources you could simply use standard fetch()).

Vocabularies and interoperability

A fundamental requirement for any two systems to interoperate at all is that they have a shared understanding of the concepts and ideas relevant to those systems. That shared understanding is expressed as a common 'language', and the individual terms from that language are typically described and explained in dictionaries.

The Solid eco-system uses RDF vocabularies (or slightly more formally, 'ontologies') to describe concepts and ideas in a machine-readable, W3C standardized format (effectively, these RDF vocabularies act as dictionaries for systems to share concepts and ideas).

There are already many common vocabularies published on the web, such as the vCard vocabulary for describing the concepts and ideas associated with People and Organizations, or Schema.org for describing the things search engines are typically interested in, intended to be used by webmasters to mark up their pages in ways that those search engines can then understand.

As a convenience for JavaScript developers, Inrupt publishes various npm modules that provide JavaScript classes containing constants representing the individual terms described in many of these vocabularies today, including modules specifically for Solid-related vocabularies, and for Inrupt-specific vocabularies.

By simply importing one of these NPM modules, developers have immediate access to all the terms described in all the RDF vocabularies referenced by that module.

Common RDF vocabularies

This module bundles together JavaScript classes representing many of the most common RDF vocabularies published on the web today (e.g. FOAF, Schema.org, vCard, SKOS, etc.): @inrupt/vocab-common-rdf

Solid-specific RDF vocabularies

This module bundles together JavaScript classes representing all the RDF vocabularies related to Solid (e.g. Solid terms, WebACL, ACP, etc.): @inrupt/vocab-solid-common

Inrupt-specific RDF vocabularies

This module bundles together JavaScript classes representing all the RDF vocabularies created and maintained by Inrupt (e.g. an Inrupt test vocabulary, Inrupt glossaries, Inrupt product vocabularies, etc.): @inrupt/vocab-inrupt-common

Supported environments

Our JavaScript Client Libraries use relatively modern JavaScript, aligned with the ES2018 Specification features, we ship both ESM and CommonJS, with type definitions for TypeScript alongside.

This means that out of the box, we only support environments (browsers or runtimes) that were released after mid-2018, if you wish to target other (older) environments, then you will need to cross-compile our SDKs via the use of Babel, webpack, SWC, or similar.

If you need support for Internet Explorer, it is recommended to pass them through a tool like Babel, and to add polyfills for e.g. Map, Set, Promise, Headers, Array.prototype.includes, Object.entries and String.prototype.endsWith.

Node.js Support
