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

This is a fork of a New York times package. See below for details of modifications made.

text-balancer

Text-balancer is a javascript module that seeks to eliminate typographic widows from text. It does this by setting the max-width of the dom node to the threshold that it would spill onto another line.

Setup instructions

Install it into your project via npm

npm install text-balancer --save

https://www.npmjs.com/package/text-balancer

We use bramstein's Font Face Observer to check when our fonts have loaded: https://github.com/bramstein/fontfaceobserver

We run our text-balancer once our fonts load.

How to run it

import textBalancer from 'text-balancer';

// Run it when you want to with any set of selectors
textBalancer.balanceText('.headline, .interactive-leadin, #horse-god');

// OR: Just run it and it will look for anything with the balance-text class
textBalancer.balanceText();

If you're not running node/npm

Include text-balancer.standalone.js wherever you load your js files
and then:
PUT THIS SCRIPT AFTER YOUR MARKUP IDEALLY UNDER THE BODY TAG
OR JUST WRAP IT IN SOME SORT OF AN ONLOAD EVENT :)
<script>
// Run it when you want to with any set of selectors
textBalancer.initialize('.headline, .interactive-leadin, #horse-god');

// OR: Just run it and it will look for anything with the balance-text class
textBalancer.balanceText();
</script>
