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

@solid-primitives/selection

turborepo size version stage

Primitive that helps reactively reading/setting cursor position and selections both in text fields and contenteditable elements.

Installation

npm install @solid-primitives/selection
# or
yarn add @solid-primitives/selection

Usage

The format of the getter output and setter input is HTMLSelection, consisting of a tuple of the node in which the selection happens and a start and end offset within the text content. The offsets count from zero, so 1 would be the second character.

import { createSelection } from "@solid-primitives/selection";

const [selection, setSelection] = createSelection();

// nothing is selected:
selection(); // [null, NaN, NaN]

// select the second to fourth letter inside a contentEditable div:
setSelection([document.querySelector("div[contenteditable]"), 1, 3]);
selection(); // [HTMLDivElement, 1, 3]

// change the selection to a cursor behind the fourth letter inside the first input:
setSelection([document.querySelector("input"), 3, 3]);
selection(); // [HTMLInputElement, 3, 3]

// remove the selection again:
setSelection([null, NaN, NaN]);

Gets and sets the selection. Handles input, textarea, contentEditable elements and plain text. Use it to manipulate or keep the cursor / selection when overwriting values or innerHTML. In order to use it with an input mask to apply it to a contentEditable element, you can use:

import { createSelection } from "@solid-primitives/selection";
import { anyMaskToFn } from "@solid-primitives/input-mask";

const [selection, setSelection] = createSelection();

const ibanMask = anyMaskToFn("aa99999999999999999999");

const inputMaskHandler = ev => {
  const [node, start, end] = selection();
  if (ev.currentTarget === node) {
    const [value, selection] = ibanMask(node.innerHTML, [start, end]);
    node.innerHTML = value;
    setSelection([node, selection[0], selection[1]]);
  }
};

return <div contenteditable onInput={inputMaskHandler}></div>;

For more information about input-mask, see its README.md.

By-product: getTextNodes

Since we need it for the selection inside contentEditable elements, there is a function called getTextNodes that will return all text nodes inside the given DOM node in their actual order, even if encapsulated by other elements:

import { getTextNodes } from "@solid-primitives/select";

getTextNodes(div); // [Text, Text, Text]

At some point, this might move into the utils package if used by other primitives, but in this case, it will be re-exported not to break compatibility.
