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

react-redux-component-init

A library to manage react component initialization in isomorphic applications using Redux.js.

When to use

This library is designed for usage in large-scale react applications with server-side rendering. It can also be used in smaller applications or application without server-side rendering. However, in these use cases a less complex solution might be more appropriate.

prerequisites

This library will only work for applications that have the following setup:

  • A react+redux setup with server-side rendering. Redux state on the server should be injected into the client as initial state (as described in the Redux documentation)
  • A Redux store configured with the redux-thunk middleware
  • Support for Promises on both the server and client side

Motivation

In a react application, we often want to perform a certain action when a component mounts. These actions are often asynchonous (like loading some data from an api). More specifically, in isomorphic applications (with server side rendering) we often want these actions to be completed before we start rendering the page. In order to achieve this, we have two alternatives:

  • Component-based approach: We define the initialization actions on each component. This comes with a problem: the server does not know which components are mounted before a react render has completed. This would mean we have to do at least 2 render calls: one to figure out which components need to be initialized, and another after initialization actions have completed.
  • Top-down approach: We define all initialization on the page level. This can get messy very quickly, because a page has to have knowledge about the data needs of all descendant components. It is easy to make a mistake and do too little or too much initialization. Moreover, it can lead to code duplication between pages.

This library aims to provide utilities to make the component based approach a feasible solution. It allows us to define initialization on each component without having to do more than one render.
