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 🙏

Fast polyfill for TextEncoder and TextDecoder, only supports utf-8

Readme

Test

This is a fast polyfill for TextEncoder and TextDecoder, which let you encode and decode JavaScript strings into UTF-8 bytes.

It is fast partially as it does not support^ any encodings aside UTF-8 (and note that natively, only TextDecoder supports alternative encodings anyway). See some benchmarks.

^If this polyfill used on Node v5.1 through v11 (when Text... was introduced), then this simply wraps Buffer, which supports many encodings and is native code.

Usage

Install as "fast-text-encoding" via your favourite package manager.

You only need this polyfill if you're supporting older browsers like IE, legacy Edge, ancient Chrome and Firefox, or Node before v11.

Browser

Include the minified code inside a <script> tag or as an ES6 Module for its side effects. It will create TextEncoder and TextDecoder if the symbols are missing on window or global.

<script src="node_modules/fast-text-encoding/text.min.js"></script>
<script type="module">
  import './node_modules/fast-text-encoding/text.min.js';
  import 'fast-text-encoding';  // or perhaps this
  // confidently do something with TextEncoder or TextDecoder \o/
</script>

⚠️ You'll probably want to depend on "text.min.js", as it's compiled to ES5 for older environments.

Not Including Polyfill

If your project doesn't need the polyfill, but is included as a transitive dependency, we publish an empty version that you could pin NPM or similar's version algorithm to. Use "fast-text-encoding@empty".
