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 🙏

The Underscore PatternEngine for Pattern Lab / Node

Installing

To install the Underscore PatternEngine in your edition, npm install @pattern-lab/engine-underscore should do the trick.

Supported features

Extensions to basic Underscore functionality

Pattern including

Underscore templates include no native support for calling other templates, so support for pattern including is accomplished through an included Underscore mixin function, _.renderNamedPartial(), and is considered experimental, but seems to work just fine.

Example

<p>
  Here's a large button, with parameters:
  <%- _.renderNamedPartial('atoms-button', { variantClass: 'btn-large' }) %>
</p>

Safely referring to deeply nested data in the pattern JSON

When referring to deeply nested data, it's helpful to have a way of doing that (as Handlebars and Mustache do) that's tolerant of unexpected null values. For example, if you have the following pattern JSON:

{
  "foo": {
    "bar": {
      "value": "That is the question:"
    }
  }
}

And the following in an underscore template that refers to it:

<p>
  To be, or not to be, <%= foo.bar.value %>
</p>

If you feed that template JSON that (for whatever reason) has foo.bar as null, the pattern will crash because null.value throws an exception. It's nice to be able to write this instead:

<p>
  To be, or not to be, <%= _.getPath('foo.bar.value', obj) %>
</p>

and know that the output will be more safely "To be, or, not to be, null" instead of just throwing an error and crashing the pattern. This is mainly useful for operationalized pattern templates that will be provided with JSON from services that you can't control in Pattern Lab.

Note that obj is an Underscore pattern's current data context. See Dr. Axel Rauschmeyer's article for more.
