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 🙏

v0.0.7

Published

OpenCensus Web types is a slightly-patched copy of the `types.ts` files from `@opencensus/core` so that they can be easily imported in web-specific packages.

Readme

OpenCensus Web types

Gitter chat

For overview and usage info see the main OpenCensus Web readme.

This package provides TypeScript interfaces and enums for the OpenCensus core trace and metrics model. These are copied from the OpenCensus Node @opencensus/core package.

The library is in alpha stage and the API is subject to change.

Why not just depend on @opencensus/core?

The @opencensus/core package includes some Node-specific dependencies that make it difficult to import in web-specific packages. This will be particularly true once OpenCensus Web supports building with Bazel (see rules_typescript on GitHub).

This package resolves these dependency issues by copying the types.ts and supporting files from the @opencensus/core. It also uses a polyfill for the NodeJS.EventEmitter type to avoid a dependency on the @types/node package.

Having the types copied will also make it easier to adopt a build with using Bazel (see rules_typescript), Tsickle, and Closure, which would result in more optimized (smaller) JS binary sizes.

How to refresh the types

To refresh the types for a new release (or a non-released commit) of @opencensus/core, modify the copytypes command in the package.json file with the git tag of the new release. You may need to also modify the list of copied files or the patching logic in the scripts/copy-types.js file.

Then run npm run copytypes to copy the types.

Usage

Currently the primary intended usage of OpenCensus Web is to collect spans from the resource timing waterfall of an initial page load and trace on-page user interactions with a series of features like automatic tracing for clicks and route transitions, custom spans, and browser [Performance API][performance-api] data. See the OpenCensus Web readme for details.

In the future we would like to support collecting spans for XHRs and other operations made after the initial page load and then join those back to the Resrouce Timing API information for more detailed network timings and events.
