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 🙏

@kbru/form-effects

This library resulted from the wish to get the logic of complex Angular Reactive Forms out of the components. The goal is to have a Reactive Form, that can be tested without any components involved.

A standard reactive FormGroup can be converted into an Observable, that (if subscribed to) will trigger all side effects that were provided when creating the form.

Installation

npm install @kbru/form-effects

Usage

Create Form Effects

A FormEffect is just a function getting the FormGroup and returning an Observable. The Effect can then interact with the form (or other data sources).

Example

let state$ = new BehaviourSubject<any>(null);

// An effect that runs only once
const setInitialValueEffect: FormEffect<FormGroup> = form => {
  form.setValue(state$.value);
  return EMPTY;
};

// An effect that interacts with "external" data
const saveOnChangeEffectA: FormEffect<FormGroup> = form =>
  form.valueChanges.pipe(
    map(value => {
      state.next(value);
    })
  );

// Alternative for the above effect. Here, the external data source can
// be mocked for testing.
const saveOnChangeEffectB =
  (state$: BehaviourSubject<any>): FormEffect<FormGroup> =>
    form =>
      form.valueChanges.pipe(
        map(value => {
          state.next(value);
        })
      );

Attention: Be sure not to create infinite Loops with your Effects ;) If you create an effect based on the valueChanges of a form and set the values inside the effect, this happens easily!

Attach Effects to the FormGroup

For the effects to run they need to be attached to the FormGroup. Use createEffectAwareForm (which will return an Observable).

Example

const form = new FormGroup({
  foo: new FormControl(null),
// ...
});
const form$ = createEffectAwareForm(form, [effects]);

Subscribing to the form

For the effects to be run, the form returned by createEffectAwareForm needs to be subscribed. This can easily be done using the async-Pipe inside the Template:

Example


<form
  *ngIf="form$ | async as form"
  [formGroup]="form">
  <input formControlName="foo" />
</form>

Integration Tests for a form

Given you have your form set up only with effects and all logic completely independent from your components, you can easily write integration tests for your whole form logic.

See the tests in the demo app for an example.
