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

@runopencode/stencil-signal

npm version

Lit (Google's web component framework) started experimental support for signals from @preact\signal-core library. As they stated in their blog:

...we think signals promise to offer a convenient and relatively simple option for shared observable state, a recurring need in our community. So we are starting to explore what it would look like to integrate signals with Lit with a new @lit-labs/preact-signals package.

So, if Lit has it, why Stencil shouldn't?

So this library brings exactly that - integration with @preact\signal-core library which allows you to use signals in your Stencil components. Only requirement is to decorate render() method of your component with @Preactive() decorator and for each value change of signal/computed value used in your render() method, DOM will be updated.

Why? Because we can! Do you need it? Well, probably not, Stencil already has a decent reactivity system. What we believe that Stencil is missing in terms of reactivity is better integration with RxJS library. However, we have compiled some of our commonly used functions in experimental library @runopencode/rx-stencil which you can use to tackle more advanced tasks.

Example

import { Component, ComponentInterface, h } from '@stencil/core';
import { Preactive }                        from '@runopencode/stencil-signal';
import { Signal, signal}                    from '@preact/signals-core';

let counter: Signal<number> = signal<number>('counter', 0);

@Component({
    tag: 'my-component',
    shadow: true
})
export class MyComponent implements ComponentInterface {

    @Preactive()
    render(): any {
        return <div onClick={(): void => { counter.value++; }}>{counter.value}</div>;
    }
}

Caveats

In order to avoid memory leaks, and considering that method render() of each component is registered as "effect", cleanup is required which is executed when component is disconnected from DOM. However, Stencil is not consistent in invoking disconnectedCallback() method of components - if your library doesn't have any component which defines this method, Stencil will not invoke it for any component. So, in order to avoid this, you should define this method in at least one component.

For this inconvenience, we intend to open RFC which would address this issue.
