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 🙏

Storybook Design System

NPM JavaScript Style Guide

Used by

Note: this design system is not used in Storybook's UI. The stack is different and theming requirements of Storybook add complexity beyond the scope of this project. However, Storybook's visual design is identical to what's here.

Tech stack

Building components

Maintaining the system

Why

The Storybook design system codifies existing UI components into a central, well-maintained repository. It is built to address having to paste the same components into multiple projects again and again. This simplifies building UI's with Storybook's design patterns.

What we're doing

  • Build and maintain a design system in the open
  • Share UI components between multiple apps
  • Dogfood upcoming Storybook features
  • Welcome contributors of all levels and backgrounds

What we're not doing

  • Rewrite all new components from scratch
  • Overhaul the visual design of components
  • Typescript (the consumer apps don't use it)
  • Compete with more general design systems like ANT or Material.

Install

npm install --save @storybook/design-system

Global Styles

Components within the design system assume that a set of global styles have been configured. Depending upon the needs of the application, this can be done several ways:

Option 1: Render the GlobalStyle component

Useful when you don't need any custom body styling in the application, typically this would be placed in a layout component that wraps all pages, or a top-level App component.

import { global } from '@storybook/design-system';
const { GlobalStyle } = global;
/* Render the global styles once per page */
<GlobalStyle />

Option 2: Use the bodyStyles to apply styling

Useful when you want build upon the shared global styling.

import { Global, css } from '@storybook/theming';
import { global } from '@storybook/design-system';
const { bodyStyles } = global;

const customGlobalStyle = css`
  body {
    ${bodyStyles}// Custom body styling for the app
  }
`;

const CustomGlobalStyle = () => <Global styles={customGlobalStyle} />;
/* Render the global styles once per page */
<CustomGlobalStyle />

Font Loading

Rather than @import fonts in the GlobalStyle component, the design system's font URL is exported with the intention of using it in a <link> tag as the href. Different frameworks and environments handle component re-renders in their own way (a re-render would cause the font to be re-fetched), so this approach allows the design system consumers to choose the font loading method that is most appropriate for their environment.

Option 1: Build the link tag manually

import { global } from '@storybook/design-system';

const fontLink = document.createElement('link');

fontLink.href = global.fontUrl;
fontLink.rel = 'stylesheet';

document.head.appendChild(fontLink);

Option 2: Render the link tag in a component

import React from 'react';
import { global } from '@storybook/design-system';

const Layout = ({ children }) => (
  <html>
    <head>
      <link href={global.fontUrl} rel="stylesheet" />
    </head>

    <body>{children}</body>
  </html>
);

export default Layout;

Development Scripts

yarn release

Bump the version

Push a release to GitHub and npm

Push a changelog to GitHub

Notes:

  • Requires authentication with npm adduser
  • auto is used to generate a changelog and push it to GitHub. In order for this to work correctly, environment variables called GH_TOKEN and NPM_TOKEN are needed that reference a GitHub personal access token and a NPM "Publish" token with the appropriate permissions to update the repo.
