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 🙏

<iron-a11y-announcer>

iron-a11y-announcer is a singleton element that is intended to add a11y to features that require on-demand announcement from screen readers. In order to make use of the announcer, it is best to request its availability in the announcing element. Note: announcements are only audible if you have a screen reader enabled.

See: Documentation, Demo

Usage

Installation

npm install --save @polymer/iron-a11y-announcer

In an html file

<html>
  <head>
    <script type="module">
      import {IronA11yAnnouncer} from '@polymer/iron-a11y-announcer/iron-a11y-announcer.js';
      // Initialize the announcer.
      IronA11yAnnouncer.requestAvailability();

      // Note: announcements are only audible if you have a screen reader enabled.
      IronA11yAnnouncer.instance.fire('iron-announce',
          {text: 'Hello there!'}, {bubbles: true});
    </script>
  </head>
</html>

In a Polymer 3 element

import {PolymerElement, html} from '@polymer/polymer';
import {IronA11yAnnouncer} from '@polymer/iron-a11y-announcer/iron-a11y-announcer.js';

class SampleElement extends PolymerElement {
  static get template() {
    return html`
      <button on-click="announce">Announce</button>
    `;
  }
  function attached() {
    IronA11yAnnouncer.requestAvailability();
  }

  // After the `iron-a11y-announcer` has been made available, elements can
  // make announces by firing bubbling `iron-announce` events.
  // Note: announcements are only audible if you have a screen reader enabled.
  function announce() {
    IronA11yAnnouncer.instance.fire('iron-announce',
        {text: 'Hello there!'}, {bubbles: true});
  }
}
customElements.define('sample-element', SampleElement);

Known Issues

This element doesn't work on Firefox (it doesn't read anything in Voice Over), since aria-live has been broken since the Quantum redesign (see the MDN docs demo) -- we tested it on Firefox 60, but it doesn't look like a regression, so it's probably broken on older versions as well.
